At Kydon, we are a group of individuals who believe that learning can enhance human capacity — one knowledge, skill, experience, or epiphany at a time.
Learning nurtures the soul and improves career prospects. Knowledge adds value to the community. In an age of rapid digitalization, learning can harness technology for education and training.
Our journey began at Kydon. From a digital learning agency offering advanced learning technology solutions and custom digital learning content, we have also grown to become a digital learning platform for the masses, a learning technology and innovation knowledge portal, and an R&D outfit for EdTech.
