New Delhi (India), April 5: ‘A2 App’, now rebranded as ‘Conker App’, Albert Einstein once said, “Education is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think.” A2 has deeply embedded this saying in his work and brought a significant change in how the youth looks at education. A2 has made sure that it is not rote learning that derives people but the zeal to expand one’s horizon and creativity as they wish; the core ideals of CONKER WORLD pvt limited lie in Har Jagah Hai Jal, Seekhle Kaushal. They envision empowering the youth to earn fiscal benefits as there are opportunities in every sphere of life.
