Kami Grows Widely Over the Past Year
The tech company provides an interactive platform between teachers and students, a business which has skyrocketed to touch peaks in the Covid-19 era, not just in New Zealand but globally.
“Our team had been working incredibly long hours, made a lot of sacrifices over the last 18 months, supporting teachers and students globally. We wanted a way to say thank you and recognise what they have achieved,” stated Kami co-founder Hengjie Wang to a New Zealand-based news media website.
The company surprised its employees with the bonus news over a Zoom call. The company now caters to over 180 countries, and has a wide user base of over 30 million teachers and students.

Doing so reduced the sales figures rapidly but the company has managed to surge the sales figure in recent times.
“Fast forward 18 months, with that sort of massive shift in education, we saw maybe about five years’ worth of growth in the market in one year,” added Wang.
