Virtualsoft has again pioneered to take India ahead into the future of education. Indian Educational Institutions and Universities as well as Edtech Companies have long been spearheading innovation in academics and other areas. However, the reach of India Education has been limited, but no more. Virtualsoft has partnered with Education Korea Fair, Korea, to enable Indian Institutions to reach out to the world in the most tech friendly country of the world.
It is a good place to seek collaborations in the space of :
1. Early-Education
K-12, After-School Education
Art, Culture & Physical Education
2. Next-Education
Life-long Education,
Foreign Language Education, HRD,
Vocational Education
So if you have language schools, Korea has a great potential for english schools, and if you are a vocational school, you can tap into after-school education. Alternatively you can seek admissions, as koreans do go out to get exposure in an english speaking environment (many koreans are currently studying in bangalore based schools).
Also, great if you have offerings in the Edtech space like Learning Management Systems, Learning Tools and Games, VR/ AR applications for learning etc.
Do get in touch if this interests you! Sorry for the trouble if it doesn't!

Press Release by Vineet Raj Kapoor, Leader of Indian Delegation at ACE Fair 2024
SXILL Founder attended the Hong Kong Filmart 2025 from 17-20 March 2025 at Hong Kong Exhibition and Convention Centre, Wan Chai, Hong Kong.
Vineet Raj Kapoor (Indian IDT Expert Worldskills, and Founder SXILL) shared “Participating at Film Art helped me meet people from the Film and Animation Industry across the world. It allows me to take a peek at where storytelling is moving. Just to cite an example, 3-5 minute dramas are in, and long format is losing pace. This allows small producers also to step in and create a space for themselves, and allows artists to share their work through Instagram and other new mediums.”
“I was happy to also meet artists and film makers from Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai and Delhi. Filmart gave me an opportunity to connect better.” He added.
Hong Kong FILMART is Asia's largest entertainment marketplace, held annually in Hong Kong and organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC). It's a major event for industry professionals, facilitating deals, networking, and promotion of films, TV shows, and other media. FILMART also includes the Hong Kong–Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF), which focuses on co-production ventures.
Neelu Kapoor (Indiaskills Graphic Design Technology Jury) and Founder SXILL thanked “Vineet has always been part of the artist community and has helped many small studios understand the international markets. This knowledge also helps students at SXILL understand the world.”
SXILL has a very detailed Training Program in Animation Upskilling comparable with the best in the world. Many Alumnus of SXILL today work at the highest level at Top Indian and International Animation Studios like Framestore, Dreamworks, 88Pictures, Xentrix, Technicolor, PhilmCGI, Assemblage, Cosmos Maya, Greengold, Micros, Lakshya Digital, Digitoonz etc.
