2025 has been a breakthrough year for India Market Entry (IME).
What started as a mission to make global education accessible in India has become a transformational ecosystem shift, thus strengthening Indian schools, preschools, edupreneurs, educators, institutions, and resellers with innovation, access, and capacity building.
This impact not only marked successful new launches, partnerships, and training initiatives in 2025, but also laid the foundation for something much larger:
KNOTRAL: The Global Education Marketplace
KNOTRAL Trainings: A Global Professional Development Hub (coming in 2026)
Together, these platforms will redefine how global education solutions integrate into India’s learning landscape and take global learning excellence to every Indian classroom.
