I help K12 Schools to grow their admission numbers and Brand Value by implementing innovation and improving brand communication.

Apart from that, I love to talk about ancient Indic culture and Building Brand Communities for Businesses.

A glance at my recent past

I have spent the majority of the last few years as a community maker in the education space

- I ran a community of education entrepreneurs (with more than 3000 members) and did scores of events during 2015-16. The community also included School Principals, Higher Education Professionals, NGO professionals, media, politicians, and ex-pats.

- developed another community for School Leaders, where I trained hundreds of them on School branding and Innovation

- became a part of the Open Source Tech community when I co-founded an award-winning Open Source Tech product initiative within India that reached the global top 10 list by none other than HackADay

- Authored three books so far (and a lot of blog articles) including 'How to help your kids THINK Computationally?' (link is in the featured section)

- Spoke at many events on revered venues and platforms like Govt of India, Assocham, IIT, DTU etc

- Recently started building Toy-based Pedagogy Academy, an initiative by WondrSchool

- I am also helping an enterprise that is developing board games, Toys, and Activity Stacks to gamify ancient Hindu Scriptures. Symbology, Culture, Wisdom & Traditions for children.
