Vivek Agarwal, an MBA from Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, is the founder and CEO of Liqvid. The company derives its name from two words – ‘vid’ for ‘to know’ in Sanskrit and ‘liquidus’ for ‘fluid, flowing’ in Latin. Liqvid has developed a ‘mobile first’, digital language learning platform, and leverages it to provide cutting edge language learning to enterprises, institutions and consumers globally.

Liqvid follows a unique technology based, assisted learning methodology. It provides English learning solutions in India under the brand English Edge. This program has been deployed at over 5000 locations, delivering more than 1.5 million hours of instruction to more than 600,000 learners.

Before starting Liqvid, Vivek had co-founded eGurucool, which provided curriculum support and test prep courses for K-12 students in India. The company raised more than $11 M from investors, which included Newscorp and IFC, Washington and was subsequently sold to NIIT, India.
