NEW DELHI: Khan Academy , the non-profit educational organisation started by American educator Salman Khan to impart free, world-class education through YouTube videos, is looking to strengthen its presence in India.After appointing Sandeep Bapna as the organisation’s India manager in September this year, former hedge fund analyst and Harvard Business School graduate Khan is set to visit India next month to understand the local market. The organisation is considering localising its curriculum content for Indian students."Both Salman Khan and his co-founder grew up in the US, but have roots in South Asia. India has been their dream country to get into. We are working on building a team here," said Bapna.Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos and a personalised learning dashboard for people to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. It offers lectures in math, science , computer programming, history, art history, and economics for the k12 segment, with a primary focus on math and science.Bapna said the academy has partnered with Central Square Foundation in India and is figuring out ways to work with central and state governments to localise content.In India, the organisation has seen organic growth of more than 45% over the last three years. Lessons served and viewed here have increased from 2.7 million in 2012 to 5.4 million in 2014. For 2015, this figure is estimated to be 8.5 million.India is the fifth biggest market for Khan Academy after the US, UK, Brazil and Mexico. While the company works through partners in countries such as Brazil and Mexico, Bapna said he is their first hire outside North America. The firm has around 100 employees in the US, and is working on building a team here."We're thinking of how we can map our curriculum to local needs and how we can localise content to make it more useful here. The other aspect is access and how we could reach out to more people. Mobile would be one way for us to grow," said Bapna.Bapna said Khan Academy’s primary target audience would be children from government schools who account for about 60% of the school-going population in the country.Earlier, the organisation has partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialised content.Khan Academy, which was set up in 2008, has so far delivered over 580 million lessons.In 2010, Google announced that it would give Khan Academy $2 million for creating more courses. The company has also received funding from Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim.
