Bangalore, India: Oct 12, 2023- Taking a pioneering step in the realm of education built on new age tech platform, Infinity Learn by Sri Chaitanya, fresh off its announcement of joining the 100cr club and achieving profitability, proudly unveils its magnum opus: IL VISTA: Virtual Intelligent System for Tailored Academics. This landmark initiative is underpinned by an impressive investment of close to a million dollars, with an anticipated commitment of an additional 4-5 million dollars set aside for its upcoming phases.
IL VISTA is a ground-breaking tech initiative in the world of education. The Virtual Intelligent System for Tailored Academics, aims at leveraging the full potential of Al, to resolve the challenges faced by educators and learners alike. The vision is brought to life for the users through unified mobile and web applications in the form of various tools, ensuring that cutting-edge technology is always at their fingertips.
Our Unique and innovative approach to conversational Al-enabled scaffolding is the core of VISTA’s commitment to a personalized approach towards learning. Traditionally, a teacher caters to learners guiding them with hints to develop the right approach until they are independent to resolve the questions on their own. In VISTA’s world, scaffolding is taken up by Doubts Al, a new-age ally of educators with traditional values. It will comprehend and steer the student’s learning, guiding them step-by-step, in a way that they grasp the concept and not just the answer.
However, the learning curve of a learner is incomplete without assessments- a “process of gathering data to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of student’s learning. IL VISTA’s Assessment for Learning seeks to transform the inputs and feedback that educators provide to learners during evaluation. This will primarily empower educators, if every student’s learning is assessed not by weary human eyes, but through efficient and unbiased AI.
The current trend in edtech shows that learners in today’s time and age watch videos to learn the concepts. The Check for Understanding (CFU) amplifies student’s learning from the videos. The tool enables guided learning through a series of checkpoints in the videos, where a question pops up to improve a student’s focus and check their understanding.
Recognizing the pivotal role of educators, VISTA’s Teacher Assistant is tailored to be every educator’s digital confidant. The aim is to ‘Empowering Educators for Tomorrow’, from conceptualizing lesson plans to pinpointing resources and gleaning pedagogical insights, this tool ensures educators are armed with the finest digital arsenal, recalibrating their teaching strategies for a new era.
“Ever since I began my educational journey, my goal has always been to uplift and provide the best learning experiences. It’s truly amazing to see our dreams come to life, where technology is like a friendly guide, making teaching easier for educators and learning more fun for students. As I think about what’s next, I’m filled with so much excitement. I imagine an future where countless teachers feel supported and countless students benefit from oura latest offering, VISTA by Infinity Learn. This launch is our big step into creating that brighter,a more inclusive world of learning for everyone..” Said Ms Sushma Bopanna, Academic Director of Sri Chaitanya Educational Institutions and Founder Director/infinity Learn by Sri Chaitanya.
Ujjwal Singh, the Founding CEO of Infinity Learn by Sri Chaitanya, further elaborated, “Beneath the surface of IL VISTA lies a powerful Al engine, diligently analysing every interaction, every query, and every feedback from learners and educators. This isn’t just about streamlining the learning process but elevating the entire educational ecosystem. While our journey with Al in education has only just begun, the initial pilot of VISTA has shown immense promise. As we continue to innovate and refine our approach, I am confident we’re on the cusp of delivering a mature product that will redefine the educational landscape. The early results have already sparked excitement and anticipation, and I’m eagerly looking forward to the leaps we’ll make in the coming days.”.”
The Road Ahead – As Infinity Learn embarks on this monumental journey with IL VISTA vertical Al for Education, it signals the commencement of a new chapter and the dawning of an era where education and technology converge to create unparalleled learning vistas.

On 12th October every year, World Arthritis Day is celebrated to spread awareness about arthritis disease. Globally, about 1 in 4 people suffer from some form of arthritis. On this World Arthritis Day, we aim to spread awareness about chronic rheumatic diseases, their impact, and the measures one can take to prevent it.
When one thinks of arthritis, one usually envisions an old person with creaky joints. But that’s not always true. Majority of immune mediated arthritis affect young people in the 3rd and 4th decade of life. It used to be considered a crippling disease resulting in deformities till the end of last century. In today’s day and age, it is considered a chronic disease and a large majority of patients enjoy a good quality of life. One young family member in pain can pull down the morale of the entire family and put the entire family on the backfoot. Early initiation of effective treatment is the most important factor which can halt destructive joint damage.
Apart from the societal burden of arthritis, the financial burden of arthritis is mammoth. In a recent analysis carried out by members of Karnataka chapter of Indian Rheumatology Association(KRA), on an average, patients witha rheumatoid arthritis, spend about INR 60,000/- per year on their treatment. About two-third of this expense is related to medications alone. Also, one third of these patients spend more than 20% of their annual income for theira treatment which is largely, out- of -pocket. In the absence of recognition of these diseases by the Govt schemes and majority of insurance schemes, these illnesses continue to drain the family incomes.
Press meet held at Press Club of Bangalore
As a rheumatologist, our aim is to ensure that no or minimal damage is caused to the joints. This ensures not only lower financial burden, but also an good quality of life enjoyed by the patient and their family. This is very important from a societal perspective.
Meet a rheumatologist if you or your loved ones have aches and pains. The list of Rheumatology consultants available across Karnataka is available on the KRA website. (https://www.irakarnataka.org/) Reaching the ‘right specialist at the right time’ is the KEY to successful outcome.
