Kapil Dev and Ratnesh Jha

Burlington English, the global expert in personalised English language teaching and learning solutions, announced its launch in India. The launch took place in the presence of legendary cricketer, Kapil Dev and Ratnesh Jha, CEO, Southeast Asia & India, Burlington English.

With a presence in 40 countries, Burlington English offers personalised digital and blended learning solutions for schools, adults, and Test Prep segments such as IELTS. According to the company’s press release through its K-12 aspirational school programme, Burlington English in India aims to collaborate with schools, institutions, school leaders, and edupreneurs to provide high-quality English language learning material and programmes driven by pedagogy and supported by technology. 

Educating the audience on what it takes to be a winner and emphasising the need to learn new languages, Kapil Dev said, “In my opinion, English, while being a universal language, is a critical skill. This skill of communication, thinking, and collaboration embedded in English is today at the core of business, trade, technology, and research. I decided to hone my English language skills early in my sporting career to help seamlessly exchange ideas, further refine them with the cricketing world. Today, it is helping in shaping and sharing my thoughts and ideas or enjoying my favourite Jazz Music. This ability of learning has helped me become an avid golfer too. Burlington English is a renowned name globally and has helped school children and adults worldwide become better communicators and accelerate their academic and professional growth. On their India launch, I wish them my best for their journey ahead in helping teachers, students, and professionals become winners with pedagogy-driven English language learning programmes supported by deep technology.”

Ratnesh Jha, CEO, Southeast Asia and India Burlington English, added, “We at Burlington English are proud to launch our presence in India extensively. We expect to offer life-changing experiences to people with the various programmes and offerings that should help candidates in their career and growth. With the kind of technologies we invest in, we aim to make the learning experience enjoyable. While we are incredibly thrilled to have the living legend with us at this event, sharing details of his eventful life and how he mastered English, I am equally excited for our audience, who would leave the event with motivation and tips on how to pursue their dreams and ultimately ‘Be a winner’.”
