Every child deserves a bright future.

This is the simple idea behind why we started Bryt.

As we looked at the education landscape in India, we realized that our education was largely rote-based; children would memorize information and repeat what they learnt in exams. There was very little focus on skill development across the vast majority of schools in India. Focus on essential 21st century skills like critical & creative thinking, problem solving, communication & language expression, socio-emotional learning, confidence and leadership was lacking in our education.

We wanted to change this!
