RapL, a new startup in India that's gamifying education for blue collar talent

It's a common struggle for enterprises to keep their workforce updated on the industry itself - time prioritization tends to be the determining factor of upskilling.

But Bengaluru-based startup RapL has a fix.

The startup helps companies train their workers with byte-sized learning available on their mobile. RapL, or ‘Rapid Learning’, was founded by Arun Muthukumar and Vikram Ramakrishnan. 

The duo had worked in corporations for more than a decade each. Vikram worked in Booz for a decade and also had his own chain of schools called C S Academy out of Erode and Coimbatore. He is also NHS-certified medical doctor in the UK. His family has been associated with education for more than four decades. Arun, on the other hand, comes from an engineering background in the US. He had worked in companies like Cisco and Lucent for 15 years.

Together, they set up RapL in 2011.

“RAPL is transforming enterprise learning from a boring, mandated, and ineffective task to an engaging and effective model,” says Arun Muthukumar, Co-founder of RapL, which is registered as LinkStreet Technologies.
