Ritam Rana

Ritam Rana is a Co-founder of Knowlify, an educational technology startup developing an artificial intelligence-powered explainer video platform. He established the enterprise alongside co-founders Jonathan Maynard, Ritvik, and Arjun after the four entrepreneurs initially met as students at the University of Florida. The founding team developed the software to address widespread information retention challenges caused by dense textbooks. They built the product on metrics indicating that visual video learning achieves approximately 95% retention compared to roughly 10% for traditional text-based educational methods. Knowlify currently operates as both a self-serve software platform and a fully managed service, and the company was recently selected to participate in Y Combinator as part of the prominent accelerator's Summer 2025 batch. Rana currently focuses on scaling this generative AI video technology to optimize learning retention across various educational environments.
