21K School has over 2,750 students studying from over 400 cities across India and 23 other countries. It is targeting to scale 10X to over 25,000 to 30,000 admissions in the next academic year.

“The future of education is here, and it’s changing the way we think about schooling. 21K School will offer great value to students while disrupting traditional schools in its own space with interactive technologies that engage learners on every level of development.
