Education is a global industry, but much of the work behind it is still held together with spreadsheets, messaging apps, payment links and software that does not talk to each other. A good tutor can spend hours on scheduling, follow-ups and administration. Learners often repeat the same information and still have no clear record of what they booked, what happened and what comes next. As academies grow, these gaps become harder to manage and trust becomes harder to maintain. Tutcart® exists to solve this problem. We are creating one operating layer for the full learning relationship. Discovery, booking, participation, progress, credentials and support should feel like parts of the same journey, not separate transactions across different tools. Education does not fit into one standard format. A private lesson works differently from a cohort, sports programme, examination, certification or admissions process. Tutcart uses a common model so different kinds of learning can share identity, permissions, commerce and lifecycle records without being forced into the same experience. The long-term value is not a longer feature list. It is a reliable system of record for the learning business. Educators spend less time stitching tools together. Learners get more continuity. Institutions can see what is happening and act with better information. TutAI follows the same principle. It should help with real work using the right context and permissions, not sit beside the product as a generic chatbot. Tutcart is intended for a global market. Currencies, time zones, languages, regulations and local learning models will vary, but the platform should not need to be rebuilt for every country. India is an early operating market because the problems of scale, affordability and trust are especially visible here. It is not the limit of the opportunity. Our goal is to become dependable infrastructure for learning businesses worldwide and help people find opportunities with confidence.

Kalyzée builds the infrastructure that lets a university or a higher-education institution teach the same course in several rooms at once. THE PROBLEM Institutions are asked to open new sites, keep small specialities alive and share scarce faculty — with a generalist video-conferencing tool that was never designed for a classroom. The lecturer ends up operating the technology instead of teaching, and the students on the other end quietly drop out of the session. WHAT WE BUILD A complete comodal room — PTZ cameras, ceiling microphones, screens, a dedicated machine, automated orchestration of the video and audio streams — and Kalyzée Connect, the platform that records, streams, stores and publishes every session, integrated with the LMS, the SSO and the timetable. The room is ready because the class is on the schedule: nobody organises a meeting, nobody points a camera. Three configurations, depending on how the institution teaches: hybrid room (one main room plus remote students), multi-campus (rooms interconnected in real time) and immersive room (a wall of screens so distant students are present in the room). HOW WE DELIVER Hardware, platform and services in one contract: project management, installation, configuration, acceptance testing, teacher training, and N1/N2/N3 support with an SLA. Predictable CAPEX, predictable OPEX, no per-use variable. WHERE IT RUNS From a single 400-student school to a 30-site network serving 23,000 students, an architecture school in Paris with 1,000 students, and a territorial programme opening up access to teaching in French Guiana. Based at 17 La Canebière, Marseille.

DashLabs is an EdTech consultancy located just outside of the United States capitol, boasting of a client base that includes the U.S. Army, U.S. Naval Sea Cadets Corps, Smithsonian Institution, World Bank, ICF International, USAID and more. Our work requires a robust operation with several moving pieces, careful client engagement, and keen attention to quality control--a combination that is successful after extended months or years of development time. Most of our clients have an immediate need when they come to us. Some others, who would be potential clients, can't afford to invest the amount of time and money into the operation especially without an immediate return on the investment. Our competition, like us, has been left to follow the industry standards for eLearning production nonetheless, which places our clients ina position where they must build the product first, reep the benefits later. Enter: SurTous DashLabs has been working on a concept called, SurTous (sir-too), which is french for "on all." SurTous is a product we wish to build and launch that automates 75% of the work we must otherwise do manually. To add perspective, eLearning development follows the famous ADDIE model--Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation. Traditionally, Analysis and Eval are shortened or overlooked, and therefore negatively impacting the DDI phases and causes them to draw out longer anyway. In many cases, it is because teams lack the unique Instructional Systems Design skillset needed to hone in on the pedagogical methods that apply to eLearning. SurTous will remove the need for a savvy ISD and allow clients to rapidly jump directly into Development and Launch (implementation). Given COVID, this is needed now more than ever. Our product will allow clients *and* firms like DashLabs to build eLearning solutions in a fraction of the time. Essentially, our clients and our competition would become our customer.
