The team has even adjusted the monetization structure.

Now, the company mints the money by subscriptions. Education Ecosystem provides distinct prices depending on the number of topics and the duration. In the future, the company intends to make money mainly via B2B and B2G sales. The B2G and B2B sales channels will be started in 2019.
