Rocket Learning in 2025: Impact That Lasts

In this new year, we’re not just setting new goals – we’re sharpening the ones we’ve already made and turning lessons into action. Our mission: ensuring every child in India is school and life-ready. With the momentum built and partnerships forged, this year is about irreversible impact, not just progress. Early Childhood Development (ECD) is the next big human capital frontier, and we’re ready to lead the charge.

PROJECT INCLUDED: A BOLD STEP TOWARD INCLUSIVE EDUCATION

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Project IncludED, a transformative initiative aimed at ensuring every child—regardless of background, ability, or socio-economic status—has access to quality, inclusive early childhood education.

Our journey began with months of research, observations at Anganwadi centers, and meaningful conversations with parents, educators, and children across India. The insights gained have sharpened our focus, and for the first phase of this project, Gender Inclusion takes center stage.

To kick off, we’re hosted a special webinar on “Gender Inclusion in Early Childhood Education” on January 23, 2025, the eve of National Girl Child Day. This milestone aligns with the 10th anniversary of the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao initiative, reminding us of the urgency to address persistent gaps.

Today, only 29% of engineering students in India are women, and just 30% of rural girls complete higher secondary education compared to 50% of boys. These disparities start early, and we believe they can be bridged by building TIDE—a Transformative, Inclusive, and Diverse ECE system that empowers every child from the ground up.

SUPPORTING INDIA'S FUTURE NATION-BUILDERS

The Anganwadi system, the world’s largest daycare network, is central to our efforts. With the right focus, it can transform early childhood education in India. Through our partnership with MWCD and NIPCCD, Poshan Bhi Padhai Bhi continues to support holistic development across the country.

Our ongoing collaboration with NITI Aayog in the Aspirational Districts is key to ensuring no child is left behind. This partnership continues to ramp up, expanding both our reach and impact.

Finally, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of ICDS this year, we salute the 14 lakh Anganwadi workers who are the backbone of India’s future. We remain committed to strengthening the system and ensuring every Anganwadi Centre becomes a cradle for the nation’s IQ and demographic dividend.

DEMOCRATISING AI FOR EVERY CHILD

We believe technology can level the playing field when used thoughtfully. With our AI-powered learning companion, we offer personalised, interactive lessons for children aged 3-6 years, with caregivers involved every step of the way. Fun, engaging, and making quality learning accessible to all.

Our Automatic Homework Sheets Grading system is streamlining assessments, processing over 50,000 homework images daily with 90% accuracy, enhancing efficiency for educators and improving outcomes for children.

EXPANDING OUR REACH ACROSS INDIA

Five years in, we’re more driven than ever to push boundaries and create tangible impact. As Amartya Sen wisely said: “It is about enabling people to lead meaningful lives of their own choosing.”

Here’s to turning ambition into action that creates outsized impact, lasting long beyond our lifetimes.
