About Us

The current education system in our country is plagued by dismal standards, with heavy reliance on outdated pedagogical practices and memorization. There is an evident dearth of cutting edge work in school education, geared towards inculcating a scientific temper and evidence-based thinking.

Aavishkaar’s mission is to enable, equip & empower educators and students to rekindle their creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking in Science and Math. We endeavor to make Science and Math experiential, hands-on/minds-on, engaging, immersive, and accessible to all. Our core belief is that evidence-backed content that is rigorous and relevant can fundamentally transform the classroom experience for the child. In the last five years, Aavishkaar has become a pioneer in delivering high-quality Science and Math education, reaching some of the most remote schools and communities in the country.
