Monica Malhotra Kandhari, MD, MBD Group, said, “These awards are testament to our commitment towards education and publishing in India. These awards not only mark another milestone for the group but also will serve as a corner stone as we scale greater heights. At MBD, we have always believed creating a benchmark in publishing. These awards showcase our performance and growth. We take great pride in contributing towards developing the education sector for more than six decades now and will continue to do so.”

The MBD Group has evolved from being a publishing house into an education company that provides 360 degrees education solutions. The group has also made inroads into the skill development sector, stationery, eLearning and mLearning space. MBD Group has also successfully entered the new age digital space with education products for the masses. The recent foray into AR, VR and robotics has transformed MBD into a world-class edutainment company. The ACME App developed by MBD Group and available on Google’s play store has emerged a popular choice for students looking for study materials online.

The group recently launched Aasoka, a learning app which has not only changed students’ perspective towards learning, but it has also altered teachers’ approach towards teaching by enabling them to prepare and deliver dynamic multi-media lessons that can kindle the spark of curiosity in students. The app driven by the latest research in pedagogy and innovations in teaching methodology provides animated content for Grades K-12.
