Using Nokia Life Tools in India to learn English
Dina Mehta, founder and managing director of Mosoci India, reports on how Nokia Life Tools actually gets used in India, and more in particular, how the how the Learn English program, a part of Nokia Life Tools, really works on the ground.
“On the long drive to the villages, Natesh, Head of Nokia Life Tools, India spoke to us extensively about how they developed this concept. It started with debunking the myth that people in villages are so poor they cannot afford such tools, and figuring out through research, what would make a real difference. They found that the need “to better my life†is huge, and Nokia Life Tools might find a space in this, by making users “better prepared when the opportunities strikeâ€. I believe this is a little step in that direction and has a lot of potential for distance education too.”
