Professionals turned edupreneurs

Bala Bhaskar: With fourteen years of expertise and successful career in insurance and new media industry, Bala Bhaskar who is currently spearheading the brandwagon of Genius Edu Labs Pvt Ltd, started his entrepreneurial journey by kicking off an educational portal in supplementary education and prepared students for IIT- JEE. After travelling consecutively for three years and visiting 3,000 schools, he witnessed a gap in teaching techniques Vs student engagement in their education system. Through his extensive research, he found that schools across India lacked basic infrastructure like classrooms, Science labs, toilets, library and teaching aids. Considering the challenges, he felt that there is a constant need of empowering teachers with new teaching techniques to ensure 100 per cent student participation in science classes. To deal with challenges, he strategised and brought forth two major points by focussing on  training teachers with new skill-set called attributive teaching technique to enhance students' involvement in class practicals. After brainstorming for six months, the duo came up with a ground breaking idea of a launching Nano Science Laboratory which is portable, accessible and cost effective. 

Sucharita T: She plays a pivotal role in managing the brand’s operations. She has fourteen years of rich experience in corporate and NGO with a specialised focus on quality training and skill development programmes, which inspired her to work towards empowering the new generation children.  She firmly believes that when two minds think alike and goal matches then it takes very less time to understand each other and going becomes easy. Sharing about her journey, she says: “Though our journey started with a good learning, our concept got wings when we met Dr. Vijay Kumar, Chairman, Vijay Nirman Company Pvt. Ltd of Visakhaptnam who is known for his philanthropic activities. This is when we understood, we could work for the society and still make profits by providing solutions to the education sector.”
