I am glad to see this initiative and to see e-Simulations at #2.
e-Textbooks are what we in developing countries need. The more interactive they are, the better . We lack good class room teachers. I hope you will make these textbooks accessible, cost wise. If you succeed you will have a huge market in India. And thousands of grateful students.
Khusro Kidwai, a partner in this venture is my son and I am so glad that he is doing this. We have been a family of teachers and teaching has been our passion. My late husband shifted from Theoretical Physics in which he had a Doctoral Degree from Oxford university to become a Professor in Distance Education when India developed its communication satellite. He later headed the first Institute of Mass Communication in the Country. Khusro has it all in his genes and I am sure he will prove worthy of the oppurtunity MOMENTUM has offered him. He can be a future link between you and institutions in India.
I wish you the very best.
Atiya Habeeb Kidwai
