Tripura: In 2020, TalkEng Online Solution Private Limited was born with a clear mission: to make learning English accessible and confidence-building for people across India. At the heart of this innovative Edtech startup is the goal to bridge the language gap, especially for those from non-English speaking backgrounds. As the demand for online education surged during the pandemic, TalkEng swiftly positioned itself as a leading platform for spoken English learning, resonating with both learners and tutors nationwide.
Though TalkEng is registered in Pune, the decision to anchor its operations in Tripura was strategic. Leveraging government grants and IT and GST relaxations, the startup grew steadily, making the most of Tripura’s relatively low impact from COVID-19. This allowed TalkEng to establish a firm footing in the Edtech space, helping countless individuals learn English practically and engagingly. The platform offers one-on-one live sessions and group discussions, emphasising spoken English and practical usage over traditional grammar lessons.
By 2023, TalkEng had caught the attention of major industry players, achieving a significant milestone by being selected as one of the top 100 startups in India by Google Appscale. This recognition further validated the company’s innovative approach and solidified its position as a rising star in language learning and digital education. With the support of Google AppScale, TalkEng plans to enhance its digital marketing efforts and expand its reach, bringing its transformative language learning platform to more learners across India and beyond.
In January 2024, TalkEng’s success was highlighted at the NEEDP Startup Summit in Guwahati, Assam—the largest startup event in the North East. As one of the select startups, TalkEng showcased its impactful solutions for English language education, particularly for job holders and job seekers looking to enhance their communication skills. The summit celebrated the progress of startups like TalkEng in driving socio-economic growth and creating employment opportunities in the region.
Today, TalkEng is the fastest-growing Edtech startup from Tripura, breaking barriers and expanding rapidly. Its innovative, practice-based approach to language learning has empowered thousands of learners, helping them gain confidence and improve their career prospects. With its sights set on global expansion, TalkEng is poised to make a lasting impact on English language education.
For anyone looking to improve their English-speaking skills, TalkEng offers a dynamic and supportive platform to boost confidence and open doors to new opportunities.
