Indian schooling produces anxiety, not intelligence. Children are ranked, coached, and crushed into uniformity. Marks reward memorisation, not creativity. The future belongs to kids who think, adapt, create, and communicate — and only parent-led systems can nurture that potential.
Parents are increasingly frustrated with India’s exam-driven education system. Expensive schools and endless tuitions leave children stressed but not skilled. In this conversation between an educationist and a parent, we explore how Learning Pods—small, community-driven groups powered by APNA PCs—can provide personalized, affordable, and future-ready education. Could pods be the future of learning in India?
What if we stopped managing kids—and started trusting them? “Let Kids Lead” flips the conventional schooling mindset by showing what happens when children are given the tools, freedom, and trust to learn on their own. With relatable moments and heartfelt storytelling, this comic is a quiet rebellion against the idea that adults always know best. It’s a must-read for every parent and educator who wants to raise self-directed learners.
NEET coaching, board exams, tuition fees—today’s education system feels like a storm. But what if there was a way out? “Outside the Storm” is a comic that captures the anxiety of students and parents trapped in a broken system—and points to a brighter path: self-directed learning with the help of tech and community. It’s a moving reminder that real education doesn’t have to come at the cost of childhood joy.
Starting a learning pod isn’t always smooth sailing—and this comic doesn’t shy away from that truth. “The Pod That Almost Popped” is an honest look at what went wrong at the Colaba T2E Pod—and what we can all learn from it. From lack of supervision to fragile community support, the story is filled with hard-won lessons. But it’s also filled with hope. If you're planning to start a digital learning pod, this comic is your must-read roadmap—full of insights and inspiration.
Let’s face it — the Indian education system is broken.
We’ve built a machine that rewards rote memorization, punishes curiosity, and churns out students who can recite textbook definitions but struggle to solve real-life problems. We call it “learning,” but what we really mean is “cramming.”
I believe we can do better.
