We started in 2012 by opening a school for children from low-income communities in Mumbai. Our experience in running the school led us to understand the value that high quality teaching brings to a child’s learning in school. The urgency for having more confident and empowered educators across schools led us to build customized programs for our teachers.
We are a young, energetic, curious, innovative team that cares deeply about the state of education in India.

That we not only share the stories about our glorious past but show them the greatness of Modern India. We exist to catalyze India's re-emergence as the golden bird.
