Speaking to ETV Bharat, Khan said that the education app named 'SSC Mauritius' has been launched at the google play store which will provide study material to children from class 6th to 12th.

"It took me 15 days to develop this app. The Prime Minister of Mauritius will be soon launching the app. The government of Mauritius was in need of an app which can work online as well as offline," he said.

Khan said that through the app, children will be taught through video, audio PDF, and through other modes.

He further said that the work of designing and preparing the app was done by me. Whereas according to the syllabus of Mauritius, the material was put in the app with the help of the technical team.

With no formal education in computers, Khan has learnt everything about computers from books and from his round the clock available teacher 'Google.'

It all began in 2005 when his younger brother, a B.tech graduate in computer science, left his books at home before moving for a job in Gurgaon. In his free time, Khan began studying his books and designed a website after learning about HTML.
