Overseas South Asian parents who want teach their children their native languages , music , arts , culture seldom find qualified coaches locally. I as an overseas Indian and as a father of 12 year old son, faced the same problem. I have created www.meetmy.coach whereby parents can now find over 1600+ qualified coaches for 35+ subjects. Students can do LIVE 1:1 sessions , share knowledge and earn life long credentials backed by NFT & Blockchain.

Problem or Opportunity
Overseas Indian and South Asian parents want their children to learn their native language and culture. Their kids do not learn these in local schools.
As an overseas Indian for the last decade & a father of a 12 year old son I faced the same problem. More over local teachers are seldom qualified, expensive and do not provide credentials.
My startup is solving this problem.
