The tablet is available in three sizes - seven, eight and ten inches and costs between 7,500-14,000. However the tablet is not available for retail sale yet, it is available only for schools.
Setting up his own venture as CEO of Classteacher Learning Systems in 2000, Pande along with Sameer Buti his former classmate at IIT, decided on taking education to a different level through designing programmes for personalized education.
