Scaling the ‘Self-Learning to Earning’ Calibre of Digital Solutions through Improved User Engagement

The GMC Calibrator is a Six-Month Blended Accelerator Program launched by Gray Matters Capital in April 2018 with a specific focus on enhancing User Engagement through product optimization of digital and mobile platforms based on understanding and implementing end-user ‘Behavioral Design’.

It is for organizations imparting education, skill building, facilitating livelihoods, peer-to-peer learning and bridging gender gaps in education and workforce participation.
