SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- "Can there be a platform where every student can learn each topic from the best instructor for that topic?" asked Khurram Gulistan in the Fast Learner keynote.
Khurram's keynote was a remarkable take on the challenges students and instructors face today. He discussed the root causes for a high dropout rate among college and online students, which included financial, academic and support challenges. He then went on to explain how Fast Learner's unique approach to learning helps solve a number of problems.
"It is not a debate between classroom learning vs online learning. Let us do what is best for our learners, instructors and institutions. Let us create a win-win-win situation for all three. Fast Learner provides the best lectures for students, coupled with AI for realtime support. It provides monetization and a higher earning potential for instructors and institutions," said Khurram Gulistan, Founder of Fast Learner. This philosophy led the founders Khurram Gulistan and Khurram Kalimi to build Fast Learner.
The parent company, VinnCorp, hosted the learning platform Fast Learner launch party in the Bay Area. The event buzzed with enthusiasm as attendees witnessed the platform's features and learned more about the future of online education.
Then, Fast Learner Co-Founder Khurram Kalimi presented his enterprise sales training synopsis, interestingly named "The Unsung Selldiers." The course is based on his enterprise sales book of the same name.
