BYJU’S, the world’s leading edtech company, today announced the launch of BYJU’S Lab – an innovation hub based out of the UK in central London, with locations in the US and India. With a vision to shape the future of education, the new venture will incubate new ideas, provide cutting-edge technologies and deliver breakthrough solutions across BYJU’S ecosystem of learning products.

Technology plays a key role in empowering students to become lifelong learners, and creators of technology, rather than consumers. The goal of BYJU’S Lab is to work on redefining the role of technology in learning and transforming powerful ideas into solutions, to help further students’ learning in future. 

The launch of BYJU’S Lab is also in line with the company’s mission to keep students at the centre of innovation and create powerful learning experiences for them by leveraging cutting edge technologies such as augmented reality, AI, computer vision capabilities, gamification and more.

BYJU’S launched in the UK earlier this year as BYJU’S FutureSchool, bringing its engaging and fun music, maths and coding courses to students across the UK. The virtual courses empower students with life-long skills and encourage them to build a love of lifelong learning and curiosity. BYJU’S is doubling down on its commitment to the UK market with the launch of its Innovation Hub in London, and is looking to recruit top talent among a diverse set of candidates in the UK, US and India. Creating new jobs in the UK, BYJU’S Lab will create an exciting and fulfilling environment for Machine Learning and AI professionals, both experienced as well as new graduates. 

Dev Roy, Chief Innovation and Learning Officer, BYJU’S said,

“The role of online learning is not just to replicate offline classes in digital space but to make it more interactive, engaging and personalised. By combining the ability of computing, technology, and data, we at BYJU’S Lab, want to explore the power of information to create a more enhanced and personalised learning atmosphere.”

“As a global company, we are looking to harness talent across the UK, US and India to build innovative tools and employ new technologies to positively impact the learning experiences of children across the world. As we continue to grow and experiment, we will operate at the intersection of business and technology to make innovation real and relevant for BYJU’S users. We are looking at strengthening our team and look forward to working with bright and curious minds to transform the way children learn,” he added.

Innovation has an integral place in education, and BYJU’S Lab, with a highly-talented workforce, will focus on projects with longer gestation cycles that involve deep analysis to gain valuable insights into the learning habits of children.

With an aim to make children fall in love with learning, BYJU’S is a pioneer in delivering world-class programs that are contextual and visual. The company is paving the way for geography agnostic learning tools that sit at the intersection of mobile, interactive content, and personalised learning methodology.
