HUMAN CENTRIC
The impact on our 3M children reached to date is groundbreaking, with 70% OF children reaching school and life readiness, as compared to 50% nationally.
SCALABLE
We reach 11% of India’s public pre-schools and teachers through strategic partnerships. Working with India’s Ministry of Women and Child Development, Ministry of Education (NCERT), 10 state governments, and MIT-JPAL, we collaboratively create, measure, and scale our impact across the nation.

Our VALUES
NORTH STAR: PUT COMMUNITIES FIRST
Always do what’s best for our stakeholders
Every decision we make starts with understanding the needs of our users – parents, educators and children. We do what is best for them at every point and resist any pressure to deviate from that path.
We listen to, learn from, and co-create with our communities. We recognize the immeasurable love and dedication parents and caregivers have for their children, and we partner with them to build system-wide solutions.
ACT FAST, IMPROVE FAST
A willingness to take big swings, occasionally miss, always learn
We have a bias for action, embracing rapid iterations and nimble decisions. Perfection is an illusion and ‘the best’ is the enemy of ‘the good’ – we want to be good enough to move fast and get to the best that way.
Fueled by an abundance of optimism, innovation and can-do spirit, we’re flexible enough to experiment, learn and optimize on the fly. We understand that even small, rapid iterations can spark massive change.
LISTEN, LEARN
Respect and empathy for each other
We build diverse teams intentionally, but that’s just the first step. Every day, we will champion true inclusion, where every voice in our team and stakeholders is heard, respected, and valued.
This isn’t tokenism; it’s a core belief woven into the fabric of our team.

BE GENEROUS
Generosity is our superpower
We help colleagues even when no one is watching, because together we achieve more. Celebrate wins and share the credit, building trust and fostering collaboration. Forgive honest mistakes and hold each other accountable with compassion.
We are stronger together, and generosity ripples through the team and the organization, nourishing our culture of support and success.
OWN YOUR WORK
Leadership isn’t a title, it’s a mindset
We champion big ideas and tackle the unglamorous tasks with equal passion and accountability.
Our team members lead by example, taking ownership of every detail, big and small. We hire people and cultivate teams that take accountability seriously, ensuring every commitment and To-Do is delivered with excellence.
COLLABORATE ACTIVELY
Our #1 advantage is our collective genius
We are One Team, One Dream, and believe the sum is always greater than its parts. Don’t worry about individual credit – understand and value what others bring to the table so you can build better solutions.
Collaboration is hard, so actively cultivate it by building trust, clear processes, dedicated time and open communication, ensuring our teamwork is easy and delivers impactful results.
