Pandai

Learning app for school students in Southeast Asia

About

💡 What is Pandai?

Pandai is an app that helps students get better grades in school.

Pandai provides gamified quizzes aligned to a specific school curriculum, from which students can learn, practice, get feedback, and diagnose their weaknesses.

🔥 Why do we build this?

In Southeast Asia, the education system is competitive and exam-oriented.

There is a huge demand for interventions (tutors, workbooks, and extra classes) to help students perform better in school. Pandai fills the demand with a solution that is better than the alternatives.

👨‍🏫 Who We Are

The three founders are based in Malaysia and have known each other since high school, 23 years ago.

After we graduated (from MIT & other US colleges), we started our first education company in 2007, focusing on coaching school students in STEM subjects.

We worked closely with students (many of them from underprivileged backgrounds) and saw firsthand the impact we’ve had on them.

We then realized that with technology, we could reach more students and bring more impact. Hence, we released Pandai in 2020.

🚀 Present & Future

Currently, we have launched in our home ground Malaysia in 2020.

So far, 280,000 students have completed 83 million questions on Pandai, and 92% of users have seen some improvement in their academic performance.

We plan to expand to Southeast Asia and other emerging markets, a market of 100M+ school students. Pandai is designed to be scalable, and our content (also available in English) can be mapped to other curricula from other countries.
