In a world where quality education often comes with a hefty price tag, parents are left feeling frustrated, financially stretched, and disillusioned. But what if you could give your child a world-class education for just ₹9999—without compromising on quality, and without being trapped in the endless cycle of tuition and coaching fees? In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Malpani explains how a single educational PC, combined with the power of AI and community support, can unlock a brighter, self-directed future for your child—without breaking the bank.
Dr. Malpani: I hear you, Mrs. Desai. You’re not alone—millions of parents are stuck in the same trap. The sad part is, most of them don’t realise there’s a better, cheaper, and more effective alternative available right now.
Parent: Cheaper and better? That’s hard to believe. Good education costs money—or so they say.
Dr. Malpani: That’s the myth we’ve been sold. But let me ask you something. What exactly are you paying for when you sign up for those coaching classes?
Parent: Well… videos, notes, mock tests, sometimes live sessions. But honestly, it’s mostly pre-recorded content. No personal attention.
Dr. Malpani: Exactly. You’re paying for mass-produced content disguised as personalised learning. Your child is watching the same video as 9999 others. No feedback. No interaction. No mentorship. Now imagine if your child had a personal AI tutor, available 24/7, giving real-time feedback, adjusting lessons to match his pace, and celebrating small wins with him. Wouldn’t that make learning easier?
Parent: Of course! But that sounds like science fiction. Or at least something only elite schools in the U.S. can afford.
Dr. Malpani: Not at all. That future is already here—and affordable. With just ₹9999, you can buy a fully equipped educational PC—Intel N150 processor, monitor, webcam, keyboard, headphones—the works. And here’s the best part: that’s not ₹9999 per student.
Parent (surprised): What do you mean?
Dr. Malpani: In a digital learning pod or community microschool, the model is built around shared access. One PC can be used by two students, each getting two hours a day. If you run five sessions daily, that’s 10 students using one PC. So, your hardware cost per child? Just ₹1000.
Parent: That’s… shockingly affordable. Less than I pay for one round of textbooks or one month of tuition!
Dr. Malpani: Exactly! And this one-time cost opens up a world of possibilities. Your child doesn’t just get content—they get a smart, adaptive tutor. They can learn at their own pace, revisit tough concepts, and explore subjects beyond what school offers.
Parent: But where would I even put this PC? We don’t have space at home.
Dr. Malpani: You don’t need to. That’s where the community comes in. You can rent a garage or an office, or even a retired senior citizen who’s willing to offer space for a few hours a day. Just one small room, decent internet, and a few ApnaPCs—and boom! You’ve got a digital learning pod.
Parent: And you’re saying this pod can run with just a few PCs?
Dr. Malpani: Absolutely. Even 2–3 PCs are enough to start. Students take turns, peer-learn, and help each other. And the adult supervisor doesn’t need to be an expert—they’re just there to support and motivate. The AI tutor handles the rest.
Parent: But don’t students need formal schooling to get degrees and jobs?
Dr. Malpani: That’s another myth. The world is changing. Today, it’s not degrees that matter—it’s skills and portfolios. Whether it’s coding, communication, design, or data science, what you can do is more valuable than what certificate you hold. Employers, even colleges, are shifting to performance-based admissions and hiring.
Parent: And you’re saying that can all start with a ₹9999 investment?
Dr. Malpani: That’s the magic of technology. We’ve made everything else in life smarter—phones, TVs, even fridges! But education has stayed stuck in the past. Now we finally have the tools to fix it. And they’re not just for the rich. They’re for every parent who’s willing to take the leap.
Parent: You know, this is the first time I feel like the power is in my hands. That I don’t have to wait for a good school or beg a teacher to care.
Dr. Malpani: Exactly. The power belongs with parents and learners. You don’t need to fight the system. Just bypass it. Create your own pod. Form your own tribe. Let your child explore, fail, try again, and thrive—without being boxed into outdated timetables and textbooks. Try flexischooling them in the start .

Parent: It sounds liberating. But I’m still scared. What if I mess it up?
Dr. Malpani: You’re not alone. There’s a growing community of parents just like you—fed up, frustrated, and finally doing something about it. And you don’t have to go all-in on Day One. Start small. Pilot it with a few families. Observe. Learn. Adapt.
Parent: And if it works?
Dr. Malpani: If it works—and it will—you’ll never go back. You’ll see your child light up with curiosity again. And you’ll kick yourself for not doing it sooner.
