Message from the Founder

A journey from Rs. 5,640 to educational equity

"I come from a small village in Bihar, India. As a child, I received a scholarship from the Indian government — Rs. 10 per month for five years, Rs. 50 for four years, and Rs. 110 for two years. That total of Rs. 5,640, spread over 11 years, assisted me in acquiring my education."

"That support led me to study Policy, Economics, Law, and Political Science at Harvard Kennedy School, The Fletcher School, and EDHEC Business School. I found the imperative need to provide equal opportunities to underprivileged children while ensuring the digital transformation of education."

"I believe that the possibilities to learn and advance will bring India at par with all developed nations — with a well-educated populace ready to lead the world."
