Edsix BrainLab

What Edsix BrainLab does

Edsix BrainLab Pvt. Ltd., operating under the SkillAngels brand, is an India-based education technology company founded in 2013 that delivers game- and puzzle-based cognitive training for children aged 5–16. Its flagship offering is the Cognitive Abilities Upskilling Program (CAUP), a 25–30 week structured program combining baseline assessment, AI-driven personalized training sessions, and progress dashboards/reports, with curriculum coverage across memory, focus, visual processing, problem solving, linguistics, critical thinking, and decision making. The platform exposes an international HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) Olympiad as a competitive assessment layer and is STEM.org accredited, with explicit alignment to India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

The company operates a hybrid B2B/B2C business model. Schools and institutions purchase multi-seat licenses with class/grade dashboards and administrative tooling, served through a field-sales motion that has accumulated 500+ schools across India and the Middle East. Individual parents buy directly via a self-serve e-commerce flow on skillangels.com, choosing among three subscription tiers — Starter (₹2,999 for 90 days, assessment-only), Fast Track (₹3,999 for 120 days, with daily training), and 1 Year (₹4,999 for 365 days, full access with premium support) — with a free cognitive assessment acting as the lead-conversion mechanism. A third channel is a partner/reseller program for NGOs and organizations distributing CAUP to their networks.

The underlying technology is an AI-powered adaptive learning platform with 1000+ games that adjust difficulty based on real-time student performance, alongside baseline and progress assessment engines and reporting dashboards for parents, teachers, and school administrators. The platform is web-based with mobile access, supports English and Arabic localization, and is headquartered at IITM Research Park, Chennai, with a small team (11–50 employees) and only ~$50,000 in disclosed early-stage funding, supplemented by a later undisclosed round in 2015.

Emerging players

• Brainly: Global peer-to-peer learning and homework help platform with school partnerships and student subscription offerings. Partially comparable on K-12 student engagement and school partnerships, though focused on homework support rather than structured cognitive training programs.

Broad incumbents

• BYJU'S: India's largest K-12 EdTech platform with school partnerships, adaptive learning, and a broad curriculum suite. Competes for the same school procurement budgets and parent mindshare as SkillAngels, though BYJU'S operates at vastly greater scale across all subjects rather than specializing in cognitive skills.
• Vedantu: India K-12 EdTech platform offering live online tutoring and personalized learning across subjects. Competes for the same Indian parent subscription wallet as SkillAngels, though Vedantu focuses on live tutoring rather than self-serve cognitive game-based training.
• Embibe: India-based AI-powered learning platform (acquired by Reliance Jio) covering K-12 academic subjects with adaptive personalization. Comparable on AI-driven adaptive learning and India school/parent GTM, though focused on academic outcomes rather than cognitive skills development.

Direct peers

• Lumosity: Global consumer brain-training platform offering adaptive cognitive games across memory, attention, flexibility, and problem-solving. Most direct comparable in product (game-based adaptive cognitive training) and business model (consumer subscription), though Lumosity targets adults globally versus SkillAngels' K-12 India/Middle East focus.
• CogniFit: Cognitive assessment and brain training platform with both consumer and school/clinic offerings covering memory, attention, and executive function. Closely comparable on assessment-then-personalized-training product structure and dual B2B/B2C monetization, though more focused on clinical and adult markets.
• Squirrel AI: AI-powered adaptive learning platform operating in China with K-12 tutoring and personalized learning offerings. Comparable on AI-driven adaptive personalization and school deployment model, though Squirrel AI focuses on academic subjects rather than pure cognitive skills development.
• BrainHQ (Posit Science): Cognitive training platform with clinically validated exercises targeting memory, attention, brain speed, and other domains. Comparable in evidence-based cognitive training positioning and adaptive personalization, though primarily adult/healthcare-focused versus SkillAngels' K-12 education focus.
• Cuemath: India-focused K-12 math and cognitive skills EdTech with strong school partnership model and parent subscription offerings. Directly comparable to SkillAngels on go-to-market motion (schools + D2C) and target segment (K-12 cognitive development in India), though Cuemath is focused on math rather than broader HOTS.

Regional players

• Educational Initiatives (MindSpark): India-based adaptive learning provider with MindSpark platform deployed in schools for personalized learning across subjects. Directly comparable on India school-deployment GTM motion and adaptive learning technology, though focused on academic subjects rather than cognitive skills specifically.
