EdCast knowledge network launches new interactive service

The Edcast knowledge network founded by Indian-origin entrepreneur Karl Mehta says it is starting a first of its kind interactive digital space - Insight Series - to share live-insights from global influencers and leaders that can help change the world.

The company also said that it was targeting around 100 million global viewers by 2016.

"The Insight Series aims to redefine learning using social-mobile networks with real-time narratives that inspires communities from around the world. People who join live can ask questions and connect with the influencer in real-time," the company said in a release on Friday.

"Our vision and mission is to empower, ignite and activate people around the world through our global social knowledge network and this Series takes this experience to a higher level," Mehta said.
