CEO of Datawind, the maker of India's low-cost tablet Aakash, Suneet Singh Tuli
and Massachusettes Institute of
Technology Professor Anant Agarwal have been named by Forbes
magazine among the 15 'classroom revolutionaries' who are using innovative
technologies to reinvent education for students and teachers globally.
The
Forbes list names 15 education innovators who are "harnessing a slew of
disruptive technologies to change everything from the way we teach grade school
math to how we train the next generation of teachers."
The
publication said Tuli (44) is the 'mastermind' behind the world's cheapest
tablet computer Aakash, "which has the potential to revolutionise
educational access in the developing world."
Datawind
has a backlog of 'millions' of orders for the 35 dollar Aakash tablet. The
publication quoted Tuli as saying that "I don't care about creating the
iPad killer. I care about the 3 billion people who can afford this
device."
