---

Imagine you are an employee who has a sales meeting with a potential client in a couple of days and you want to deliver a great presentation. Vedica has already understood and predicted this requirement - what it now does is provide the employee with relevant bite sized courses that will help them deliver a successful presentation. An example of a bite sized course would be ‘Negotiation Skills’ – Approximately 5-minute course, which the employee can self-learn and practise their theoretical learning in the actual meeting. This happens in very simple steps - You receive a notification on your phone, you update yourself with the relevant content presented to you on the mobile app and now you’re better ready for your meeting!
