We have collaborated extensively with both government and private schools, providing strategic advisory support to educational authorities at every level. Our impact is deeply rooted in hands-on experience, having personally mentored and taught thousands of students across diverse learning environments. This dual perspective enables us to bridge classroom realities with system-wide reform, encompassing curriculum design, assessment methodologies, funding strategies, and institutional capacity building in developing markets.
Case Stories and Key Insights
Our philosophy is guided by the fact that government and religious institutions have done individual volunteers and founders like us a great favor—by educating some of the brightest minds in the country for almost nothing. Beneath that humorous take lies a simple truth that defines our philosophy: persistence and potential exist everywhere, often in the most unexpected places. One of our favorite differently-abled students, who once struggled with basic arithmetic, now solves problems faster than many toppers—proof that persistence can outshine privilege. In another instance, a group of journalists—among the most privileged learners we have taught—showed the same dedication, spending eight-hour days on mathematics with steady focus. The government schools we have worked with further shaped this journey. In a rural government school in Karnataka, teachers and students welcomed the team like family, showing how trust and warmth can make learning deeply rewarding. In a government school in Kerala, teachers readily used our methods, seeing immediate value in the approach. And in an urban government school in Karnataka, the students and teachers were skilled enough that our program was not even required—reaffirming a belief central to its work: with the right resources, anyone can master mathematics. These experiences have become defining moments, leading to one enduring conviction that continues to guide its mission: in just 30 focused hours spread over 30–90 days, anyone can become an arithmetic expert.
Learnings and Challenges
In the developing world, technology-led impact is already reshaping lives. Yet, in this evolving landscape, it becomes ever more critical to discern what truly works — and what does not. For example, MyAQ (Arithmetic Quotient) began as simple arithmetic lessons and soon grew into our first platform and flagship social development product for strengthening arithmetic skills. Its purpose was to help learners overcome fear of mathematics by building accuracy, speed, and confidence. The program combines 8 hours of classroom training with 42 days of structured practice, covering arithmetic concepts from Class I–VIII. Each concept is turned into a lasting skill, supporting academics, competitive exams, and professional tasks. When piloted on September 2, 2022, learners as young as 6 and as old as 60 reported 500%–1500% speed gains, with 70% of improvement coming from confidence, practice, and mentoring. The result was that students gained extra exam time, improved ranks, secured better colleges and jobs, and professionals performed more effectively at work. The key concepts covered are addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, LCM, HCF, Fractions, Decimals, Percentages and Percentage Changes, Fraction and Decimal Operations, Ratios and Proportions, Weighted Averages and Inverse Proportions. That said, our most pressing challenge lies in translating our experience into not just full-fledged ecosystem but also governance architecture while simultaneously strengthening the engines that drive impact.
Approach and Way Forward | A Blueprint for the Future
True innovation may begin with a spark — born of expertise or the urgency to solve — but it endures only through systems that make learning and progress repeatable. By embedding structured learning at every level — from operations to design — we are working on converting skill-building into engines of innovation, resilience, and sustained growth. In the developing world, technology-led impact is already reshaping lives. Yet, in this evolving landscape, it becomes ever more critical to discern what truly works — and what does not. We seek to learn from our own journey and, through it, bolden our understanding of how to operationalize innovation. Reach out to us to explore fresh perspectives and actionable strategies.
