GROWTH OF ED-TECH
There is no doubt that in the 21st century, ed-tech start-ups are taking the world by storm. There has been a lucid paradigm shift from brick-and-mortar ventures to web-based start-ups revolutionizing multifarious facades of entrepreneurship. There is a multitude of IT features that could be leveraged by these web-based start-up ideas, and with the global pandemic confining people within the walls of their houses, EdTech witnessed funding equivalent to approximately 6 billion dollars! (data by Traxen).

EXTRA CURRICULAR ED-TECH VENTURES
Out of a colossal list of activities that could be provided through these budding start-up ideas, the majority of these have resorted to nurturing the extra-curricular aspects of the benefactors. The Economics Times revealed via a report on Feb 18th, 2021 that investors are betting big on ed-tech start-ups that are bringing extracurriculars online. This evidence is concrete in its structure, as nearly 80% of all school children are interested in some form of extracurricular activity. Not only do extracurricular enrich the personality of the students, but they also ensure holistic development. During the Covid 19 transnational lockdown in 2020, learners of all age groups deployed online media to get the hang of new skills and extracurricular, ranging from playing the guitar to composing poetry.

CREATIVE WRITING: A PROMISING EXTRACURRICULAR
Creative writing has been defined as ‘any writing that goes outside the bounds of normal professional, journalistic, academic, or technical forms of literature typically identified by narrative craft, character development, and the use of literary tropes.’ Creative writing skills are of paramount importance in people of all age groups. The ability to encapsulate the audience with the power of words and rendering a plethora of emotions with just a stroke of the pen is remarkable and enchanting. Some of these dilettantes transmogrify into published authors and their books are read by people all across the globe. Unfortunately, creative writing is not a sport like a cricket that is worshipped by the people. It is the subtle and precise art of venting personal sentiments on a public forum. The capability to influence people with words is a largely coveted ideal in the modern world, and the ultimate destination for any genre of creative writers is Monomousumi Services.
