Boodai currently leads a team of 120 employees based out of offices in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Jordan, and Egypt. Dar’s maiden project, Darisni, provided students with on-demand tutoring online. Another solution currently underway is dClips, which creates bite-sized content to help students understand educational concepts. So far, over 4,000 learning modules have been created under this project, designed specifically with the Arabic learner in mind.
