Ever since technology has evolved to deliver its many miracles, the manner in which humanity discovers & absorbs knowledge has seen drastic change. The tools and methods in which we acquire, retain and teach knowledge have completely changed, which is nothing short of a revolution. Teaching being the oldest profession in the world has never been so exciting and technology savvy. In today’s world where geographical distances, compounded with ever increasing traffic woes and safety issues, have become a hindrance for learners – revolutionary learning tools such as Virtual Classrooms let’s people network and learn without physically meeting each other. Every channel of our day to day interaction has coalesced into one small handheld device.
Foreseeing the requirements of the future, we at MyEdge have been working on several learning innovations which would provide our patrons with easy-to-use, hassle-free, anytime anywhere and highly economical technological solutions, which have a daily utility. A result of such a foresight and relentless hard work is MyEdge VC (Virtual Classroom). VC is a revolutionary tool with its many utilitarian gadgets that provides a medium for students, teachers, professionals and parents to learn, teach, interact or study.
Following the tremendous success of MyEdge VC, we are ready to launch yet another first of its kind learning tool, the world has never witnessed before. We present to you eBrary was founded in 1999. An industry pioneer, ebrary has since grown into a leading ebook provider to libraries and researchers worldwide.

I’m lucky to have lived a part of my life during the time of the birth of this revolution and to have witnessed the incessant growth and development through knowledge this medium has provided.
