About us

ConveGenius is an impact-first organisation, building platforms and systems for public education and skilling at population scale. We work closely with governments, ecosystem partners, social enterprises, philanthropies and individual & institutional investors, with a goal to deliver the highest return on investment across offerings that improve learning, teaching, and governance.

Unlike traditional ed-tech companies that deliver content, we build infrastructure platforms that integrate deeply into public delivery systems, while enabling our partners to scale their missions with measurable results. Today, we operate across 22+ Indian states, trusted by governments and institutional investors alike, for aligning policy priorities with last mile impact. What started with belief and hope 13 years ago is now backed by evidence.

Our offerings include

• SwiftChat (the platform on which we build with ecosystem partners)

• Design schemas and data models optimised for AI/ML consumption: feature stores, training data


• Architect real-time data processing systems for live learner signals, telemetry, and product analytics.


• Evaluate and evolve the cloud data platform stack: Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, or equivalent.


• Collaborate with ML teams on feature engineering infrastructure and training data reproducibility.


• Establish data contracts and API-first data design patterns across consuming teams.


• Drive performance optimisation, cost engineering, and reliability across the data platform.


• Lead cross-functional data teams and manage stakeholder relationships across engineering, product, and business units.


• Translate business requirements from skilling, education, and government contexts into scalable,

Must-have skills

• Strong experience in designing and implementing data solutions and platforms


• Ability to work across multiple technologies, databases, cloud platforms, and data tools


• Strong understanding of data architecture, integration, data modelling, and data flow design; hands-on experience designing and maintaining big data systems
