K&A: Unleashing the power of stakeholder reporting

KOLKATA, India, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In the world of stakeholder reporting, revolutions are fought with the firepower of intellect and the intent to drive long-term positive change in society.

The concept of communicating with shareholders first germinated in the 17th century with the Dutch East India Company (VOC), established in 1602, being the first company to issue shares to the public and provide reports to shareholders, preparing the foundation for modern corporate reporting practices.

Integrated thinking and approach

In 2008 the global financial crisis hit the world. Governments, Central Banks, Regulatory Authorities and the civil society lost faith in the data the corporations were sharing with the world. There was a lack of transparency and the inherent trade-offs were not clear. The International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) was established in 2010, when solutions were urgently needed to mitigate the risk of such a crisis happening again.

Business perspective gradually broadened to include not only shareholders/investors, but the entire stakeholder community. It means everyone, who directly or indirectly has a stake in the business (employees, governments, regulatory authorities, community members, social/media influencers, apart from customers and supply chain partners).

The global financial crisis paved the way for integrated thinking and reporting on financial and non-financial aspects of a business. The intensifying risk of climate change and the pandemic further fuelled efforts towards integrated reporting.

K&A have also evolved with this changing landscape. As businesses made a decisive move towards more holistic and transparent integrated reporting, K&A rose to the occasion, crafting integrated reports for over 50 companies over the last three years. Through each report, they weave an impactful story with clarity and authenticity for their clients, bridging strategy with sustainability and vision with value creation.

A natural extension of this trend is the emphasis on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting in India. India’s Business Responsibility & Sustainability Reporting is now mandated by the Market Regulator, the Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

At K&A, the focus is on ESG reporting and BRSR with the strength and expertise of the internal 10-member ESG Team, who bring experience, passion and precision to each report (Sustainability or ESG Report).

Committed to making sustainability efforts measurable and meaningful, the team deciphers complex data to create transparent, insightful and impactful reports that resonate with stakeholders. In FY24-25 itself,  they have managed to make 15+ Sustainability reports and 30+ BRSRs.

Today, there are many global standards and regulations — United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Reporting, Sustainability Accounting Standards Board; Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures; IRIS+ — which emphasise the importance of balancing profit with an inclusive long-term purpose of value creation for all.

At the forefront of stakeholder communication

As a trusted and leading brand in the realm of stakeholder-centric communication, K&A unleashes the power of stakeholder reporting, telling the stories of brands and businesses to stakeholders in a manner that is transparent, captivating and confidence-enhancing.

New Report by TeachBetter.ai Finds 87% of Educators See AI as the Future of Classrooms — Launches Education-Focussed AI Platform at Startup Mahakumbh

NEW DELHI, April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a year where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is dominating global headlines, a new India-specific research report highlights how the country’s educators are responding: with curiosity, urgency, and a clear demand for practical AI tools.

The report, titled ‘The Future of Education with AI: 2025′, was released today by education-focused AI startup, alongside the official launch of its flagship platform for Teachers & Students: TeachBetter.ai

Based on insights from over 500 educators in India across experience levels, school types, and regions, the report is poised to guide stakeholders in leveraging AI to revolutionize the future of education, ensuring inclusivity and improved learning outcomes for all. Access the full report from here.

Key Findings from the Report:

The research, conducted through an extensive survey, identifies critical trends and opportunities in AI adoption across the education landscape:

  • AI can be a game-changer: 87% of educators believe AI will significantly shape the future of education.
  • AI Adoption on the Rise: Over 77% of educators have explored or implemented AI-powered tools to enhance teaching outcomes and streamline administrative tasks.
  • Reducing Teacher Workload: Educators currently spend nearly 40% of their time on administrative tasks. AI-driven solutions can reduce this workload by over 30%, enabling teachers to focus more on student engagement.
  • Personalized Learning is important: Self-paced learning emerges as a key AI use case, with 68% of educators recognizing its potential to deliver individualized learning experiences.
  • Barriers to AI Adoption Remain High: Lack of training and infrastructure gaps continue to be the biggest roadblocks in AI adoption. Educators are looking for practical, easy-to-use tools that save time — not bulky CRMs or generic, one-size-fits-all chatbot solutions.

“What teachers are asking for is not hype — but help,” said Binit Agarwalla, founder of TeachBetter.ai. “They want AI that supports their day-to-day challenges — saves time, reduces manual effort, and enhances their ability to teach with impact. This report affirms that need — and our platform teachbetter.ai is a direct response to it.”

TeachBetter.ai also announces launch of its Purpose-Built AI platform for Schools, Parents & Students.

To address the needs surfaced in the report, the company also announced the official launch of its AI-powered platform, TeachBetter.ai — now live and open to all educators, schools, students, and parents in India.

For teachers and schools, the platform offers a suite of tools including a lesson plan generator, quiz and worksheet creator, personalized report writer, event planner, presentation generator and more. These tools are designed to dramatically reduce planning time, generate quality teaching resources and enable more meaningful student engagement.

For students and parents, the platform provides concept explainers, doubt solvers, ask me anything chatbot, and other home learning tools. Students can safely research topics, clarify doubts, and create project work using built-in text, image, and video search — all within the platform — eliminating the risk of getting lost or distracted on the open web while searching for educational resources. Parents have the control and visibility, allowing them to keep track of how their child is engaging with the AI platform.

“We built TeachBetter.ai to solve real, everyday challenges faced by teachers, students, and parents. From saving hours on planning to helping students learn safely and independently, every tool in the platform is designed with purpose,” said Vipin Kumar, Co-founder of TeachBetter.ai.

The TeachBetter.ai platform launched at the Startup Mahakumbh, offers extended free access for a limited period. Visit www.teachbetter.ai to start integrating responsible, impactful AI into your educational workflows — and experience how it can simplify teaching and amplify learning.
