On 2nd April 2025, at the prestigious Skoll World Forum, our Co-Founders, Ms Namya Mahajan and Mr Azeez Gupta, had the honour of leading an insightful session titled “Early Childhood Development: The Next Big Human Capital Frontier”. The session was hosted as part of the Global ECD Coalition’s Roundtable.
Joining forces with global partners such as Kidogo, Lively Minds, SmartStart South Africa, and Dost Education, the roundtable brought together researchers, thought leaders, and funders from around the world to spotlight why early childhood development (ECD) must be at the centre of global efforts for human capital advancement.
The conversation highlighted bold, data-driven solutions to strengthen early learning systems, from valuing caregivers as first educators to building sustainable, community-led ecosystems. It reinforced a shared global commitment: every child deserves a joyful, equitable, and foundational start to life.
The rich cross-country insights and collaborative spirit of the session are helping us deepen our local impact in India, while contributing to the growing global momentum to make ECD the cornerstone of human potential.
