Eureka moment

Our eureka moment was when we realized the incredible demand for our educational kits during the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, we were developing curriculum and learning kits for our own preschool, Canopus.

However, as other parents started approaching us for the same kits to support their children's at-home learning needs, we saw a unique opportunity.

It became clear that there was a pressing need in the market for high-quality early learning resources that parents could use at home. This realization inspired us to professionalize our efforts and launch LEARNKIN , a venture dedicated to providing these educational kits to parents and meeting the growing demand.

Learnkin was born out of this transformative moment, allowing us to cater to a broader audience and make a positive impact on early childhood education.

And then in 2022, when 2 other schools approached us for using learnkin in their pre-primary section it was again a eureka moment when we understood that oh yes, the schools and pre-schools were also in the need of the such creative material.

Business model

So currently major sales come from Instagram, influencer marketing and B2B through schools, but we are trying to expand ourselves in digital marketing arena and market places.

Traction

So currently learnkin has reached almost 3000+ families pan India in the past 3 years and also in countries like, Hong Kong ,Tokyo,Dubai,Canada,USA and UK etc. It has also been awarded as best Learning Kit in INDIA by TIMES group.

It has also received National education Excellence award for its unique curriculum.
