Many companies in EdTech thrive on fear of exams: Sabin Mathew, Director at Lesics Engineers Pvt Ltd & Sabins School

November 30, 2022
What was your first job?

My first job was that of a site engineer. I was doing the assembly and commissioning of particular equipment called an incinerator. It was an okay kind of job after my B.Tech. I didn’t learn much technically from that job. However, I learned people management skills and human psychology. The site job was a baptism in fire for me. Managing different types of people all at one go.

When did you start this company and why the name?

The name is Lesics because I wanted a unique name. I have a lot of business plans in my mind. If you want to understand the meaning behind the name Lesics, it can be explained as Learn Engineering through phySICS. However, I don’t want any meaning behind this name, it should be a meaningless and unique name so that it is trademarkable. Whenever someone says Lesics, our channel or content should come to their mind.

We are not in test preparation. My business model is slightly different from other EdTech companies. They are focusing on competitive exams or securing good marks in your schools. However, my business idea is more about making the current education interesting, especially the engineering education. Hence, we don’t focus on test preparation at all. People who are preparing for tests, if they watch our videos, they may not perform well in their exams.
