“From complicated to interesting, biology, as a subject, evokes different emotions among people.

Sneha sees BYJU’S as a platform that offers a unique opportunity to bridge the education gap with the help of technology. She thinks that BYJU’S interactive videos fuse modern technology and education, providing the best learning experience.
“Physics had a lasting impact on me in school, since my teacher was great. I could grasp concepts easily and I still remember them, because of the way the subject was taught.” She truly believes that teachers and their teaching methodology make all the difference in the world.
Sneha explains the importance of teaching a subject like biology on video, “To teach the functioning of the heart, it is important to go beyond the diagram. With videos, students can witness the actual phenomena and see for themselves how the heart beats, blood flows, and pressure changes. This way, I’m not just teaching biology but also the physics behind it, closing the gap in their understanding of scientific principles, and that was the biggest driving force for me.”
How does the content team stay current and innovative, in the fast-evolving space of audio/video?
Sneha shares, “At BYJU’S, we have our finger on the pulse of biology, continuously seeking out the latest research and advancements in the field. With our unyielding commitment to staying up-to-date, we’re able to provide learners with the most relevant and accurate information available. We blend storytelling with facts to keep them engaged.”
Behind every interactive educational video created at BYJU’S, there’s a team of experts working together to create an exceptional learning experience. From subject matter experts and content team to animators, each team member plays a crucial role in bringing the video to life.
Sneha takes us through the process of selecting the content for her tutoring videos. “The team works collaboratively to ensure that every video is tailored to meet the learners’ needs and challenges. The scriptwriters craft an engaging script that captures the essence of the content and pedagogy, while animators work their magic to create stunning visuals and animations. Finally, editors review and refine the video, ensuring that it meets BYJU’S standards.”
We create engaging content that comprehensively covers the syllabus and caters to diverse learning speeds. We update our content regularly to make learning fun and accessible. The aim is to stimulate young minds with interesting and relatable content.”
In the digital age, learners have access to numerous sources of information, resulting in a plethora of questions. Sneha provides important tips for those seeking to join BYJU’S Content team
