Sunstone B-School's director Rajul Garg's interview

5. What is your opinion about providing free quality education to the needy and deserving learners; as working towards eradication of illiteracy in India?

Rajul: I feel today there are many options for needy and deserving learners. Not just online, but there are many university level scholarships as well that exist for people who want to do this. Our scope is more towards adult learning and we offer several free courses for those who wish to take these on.

6. From a future learner's perspective, how bright are the prospects of open course modules? What would be the progressive learning credibility with such a platform?

Rajul: We view business as a skill. For example, communication is a skill which is very beneficial but is also clearly visible. Business skills may not be immediately visible, but are equally valuable. That has to speak for itself. Over a period of time, students who perform well in the industry build brand which in turn lends credibility.

7. What would you like to share (with our viewers), about the threshold of online learning and the future of digital education?

Rajul: In my view, the future of online and digital learning is bright, however the timing is hard to predict. There are lots of efforts in this direction and I feel students will have it better than ever before.
