EnglishEdge offers such training solutions in 11 Indian languages- making it ideal for the diverse Indian learners.
Mr. Ravi Nayse, DGM, Vocational Training, Ambuja Cement Foundation stated, "We were looking for a language training service. We were depending on local trainers to develop content for teaching spoken English earlier. But, we were not happy with the results that we were getting. We, then, came in contact with LIQVID and EnglishEdge. The thing about EnglishEdge that truly appealed to us was how the content has been designed keeping in mind the learning requirements at the very grassroots level. The bilingual concept is a further boon for learners in our office."
Speaking on their association with Ambuja Cement Foundation, Mr. Vivek Agarwal, CEO EnglishEdge said, "Having strong English language skills has become imperative in today's competitive world. EnglishEdge is focused on providing English language learning solutions through innovative use of technology.

This is part of our endeavour to offer technologically advanced English learning tools to leading corporations across India."
Apart from regular training sessions, EnglishEdge will also provide technical and academic helpdesk support. The solution will be co-branded for Ambuja Cement Foundation.
