About us:
ConveGenius is an AI-native education infrastructure company transforming how governments,
enterprises, and social institutions deliver learning and governance outcomes at population scale.
Operating across B2G and B2B segments, the company partners with state governments, CSR funders,
philanthropies, and social enterprises to build intelligent education ecosystems that are both impactful
and commercially sustainable.
At its core, ConveGenius runs two synergistic business lines:
• SwiftAI – the intelligence and automation layer that powers citizen engagement, governance
efficiency, and real-time decision-making for governments and institutions.
• SwiftSchool – the learning infrastructure layer that integrates adaptive learning, digital
classrooms, and analytics to drive measurable student and system outcomes.
This dual-engine model enables ConveGenius to serve as the technology backbone for education
reform — connecting classrooms, communities, and command centres through a unified AI-powered
framework. Unlike traditional edtech companies that deliver content, ConveGenius builds infrastructure
— platforms that integrate deeply into public delivery systems while enabling private and philanthropic
partners to scale their missions with measurable results.
With operations across 22+ Indian states and partnerships with multilaterals, CSR alliances, and
government departments, ConveGenius has established itself as a partner-friendly enterprise trusted for
aligning policy priorities with social and financial returns. Supported by institutional investors and guided
by a double bottom line philosophy, the company consistently delivers impact at scale and profitability
with purpose.
As ConveGenius enters its next phase of growth, it is shaping the future of AI-led public education
infrastructure — where technology, partnerships, and governance intelligence converge to redefine how
nations learn and thrive.

- development, assist in code reviews, and support efficient coding practices is a must.
Candidates with the following will be given strong preference:
- Hands-on experience deploying and managing applications on on-premise infrastructure,
- particularly State Data Centres (SDCs), NIC, or other government data centres.
- Experience with any virtualization platforms (VMware, KVM, Hyper-V, Nutanix) commonly used in SDCs.
- • Experience with infrastructure-as-code and configuration management tools like Ansible,
- Terraform, or Puppet for hybrid (cloud + on-prem) environments.
- • Basic knowledge of AWS and Docker containerization.
- • Experience with Kubernetes or other container orchestration in on-prem clusters.
