In this "Where Are They Now?" episode of EdUp EdTech, I get to catch up with my dear friend Shaunak Roy, Founder and CEO of Yellowdig. We get an update on all the latest happenings at Yellowdig. The team has been very busy in the past year building new features, training educators, and providing an amazing community-building tool to all of us. You're going to love this episode and Yellowdig. What is Yellowdig? Yellowdig is a social learning platform designed for higher education that integrates with any LMS. Many instructors use it instead of LMS discussion forums. The best part is that it's auto-graded and auto-populates grades to your gradebook in any LMS. Students achieve points through word count and participating with common social media behavior, like “liking” or “loving” a post or posting a comment on another person's Pin. Yellowdig promotes community engagement through sharing information and teaching others. Studies have shown that students can retain up to 90% of what they learn by teaching each other, far higher than when students are mainly in a passive learning environment. The Yellowdig Story Join the FREE Pilot Get Yellowdig Certified More about Shaunak Roy In 2014, Yellowdig's CEO and founder, Shaunak Roy, knew he wanted to start a company that mattered. As Facebook and other social media technologies took over the social connectivity scene, he saw an opportunity to leverage this idea of social sharing through technology, specifically in the area of sharing academic ideas and knowledge. As Shaunak looked back on his own academic days (he went to undergrad at IIT Bombay, and postgrad at MIT), he realized that he learned as much from his peers as he did from his brilliant professors. Some of the bonds he created with his peers lasted well beyond those formative years and morphed into lifelong friendships.

More about Elliot The most important part of the business is and always will be "the relationship." I was lucky to have learned this lesson at an early age from my longest-living mentor, Harvey Mackay. It was Harvey also that taught me that having a strong network is essential to succeed in business and in life. I continue to learn from my team of mentors and colleagues with a growth mindset. True champions never stop looking for ways to become better, neither do great salespeople. Creating relationships and strategic partnerships have grown into friendships that have paid dividends for me and others and will continue to. Identifying who is the with people you should be spending time connecting with is one of the most difficult parts of networking and growing a business. Helping companies go from where they are now to where they want to be, is a passion of mine, and with the experience I've had myself and through observing others, I have been helping companies and people grow.
