About The Organisation

We are hiring for an ed-tech nonprofit building a platform to expand access to early childhood development in low-resource settings.

Our mission is to unlock children's full potential by focusing on early learning at home - the time when 90% of our brains develop.

We believe that parents of any literacy level can play a critical role in developing their children's school and life readiness.

That's why our team - educators, entrepreneurs, and engineers - are passionate about using technology and user-centric product design to change the trajectory of families' lives.

Since 2017, we've grown from a small pilot project with a few hundred mothers to reaching over 2 lakh families working with partners like UNICEF and state governments.

Join us as we continue to innovate, grow our reach, and deepen our impact.

We are supported by some of the best funders in the tech and social impact spaces like the Lego Group, Y Combinator, Mulago, and many others.

The organisation values diversity.

We do not discriminate based on race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
