Two Indian-origin technology experts, viz. Suneet Singh Tuli and Anant Agarwal have been named among Forbes' top fifteen education innovators list.

Datawind Chief Executive Officer Suneet Singh Tuli has got a place in the list of top education innovators for the creation of India's low-cost tablet computer Aakash, which has the potential to transform educational access in developing nations.

The Forbes said that 44-year-old Tuli is the mastermind behind the 35-dollar Aakash tablet, for which the company has a backlog of millions of orders.

Agarwal, a professor of computer science at Massachusettes Institute of Technology (MIT), is also the President of edX, a combined online offering of MIT, Harvard, the University of Texas and the University of California.

The education programme, which has created dramatic access to learning for students around the globe, has already enrolled more than 400,000 students.

The magazine described Tuli and Agarwal as "classroom revolutionaries," and said the innovators were "harnessing a slew of disruptive technologies to change everything from the way we teach grade school math to how we train the next generation of teachers."

Bangladeshi-American Salman Khan, the founder of revolutionary online education platform Khan Academy, is among the other education innovators on the Forbes' list.
