"Building a company is the best MBA I could have ever done." - Rama Kayyali, co-founder of Little Thinking Minds
Where they started: A homespun children’s literacy video available on VHS, filmed in a garden, with outsourced nursery rhymes and a local puppeteer, born from two mothers' frustration that quality Arabic content for young children simply didn't exist.
Where they are now: In 2026, they were acquired by Seesaw Learning, a US-based EdTech platform used by 25 million teachers and students globally. Little Thinking Minds kept its name and team and is now building out Seesaw in Arabic, including AI-powered tools for personalized learning paths.

"Technology really is just one part. It helps show where the problem is. But it's not enough."—Ruchit Nagar, CEO & co-founder of Khushi Baby
Where they started: First, a pendant. Then, a platform. When Khushi Baby took their ideas from a Yale classroom into the field, they noticed that their target patients—children in underresourced areas—wore pendants with black threads, as a symbol of protection. They utilzed this cultural touchstone to create wearable pendants that monitored health data. This led to the creation of their Community Health Integrated Platform (CHIP).
Where they are now: CHIP is deployed across 48,000 villages, used by over 75,000 community health workers, and has tracked the health of more than 50 million people—identifying over 10 million individuals with vulnerable health conditions.

"Make sure that you have people around you who inspire you, who keep you learning, who have the same values as you, because that will impact your career and your happiness much more than anything else." —Namya Mahajan, Co-Founder, Rocket Learning
Where they started: A WhatsApp experiment connecting Anganwadi workers and parents in India, sending two-minute activity videos to close the early childhood education gap for tens of millions of low-income children.
Where they are now: Reaching six million children across 10 Indian states, with 200,000 Anganwadi workers trained and a goal of 50 million children ahead.
