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.

Meera (Parent):
I did everything “right”—enrolled my child in an expensive school, paid for extra classes, followed every rule. But he’s anxious, bored, and hates studying. Is this what learning is supposed to feel like?
Dr. Malpani:
You’re not alone, Meera. Many well-meaning parents are trapped in the same cycle. But maybe the problem isn’t your child—it’s the system itself. What if we challenged the very myths that schooling is built on?
From believing that only schools can teach, to trusting exams and tuitions as measures of success, this conversation will shake up everything you thought you knew about education—and show you a better path forward.
Dr. Malpani challenges the very foundation of India’s high-stakes exam culture in a candid conversation with Mrs. Mehra, a seasoned principal. They discuss how current assessments reward rote learning, fuel anxiety, and push students into expensive coaching factories. But there’s hope—Dr. Malpani proposes a revolutionary solution: AI-driven, personalized, and stress-free assessments that actually test understanding and creativity. Together, they explore how progressive schools and learning pods can lead the shift toward fair, humane, and future-ready education.
India’s current examination system is under immense scrutiny for prioritizing rote memorization over real understanding. High-stakes tests like NEET, JEE, and board exams have created a culture of anxiety, driving students into coaching factories and robbing them of their curiosity. These exams fail to assess critical thinking, creativity, or problem-solving—the very skills needed in real life.
This article explores a bold alternative: replacing outdated written tests with AI-powered digital viva exams that evaluate how students think, not just what they remember. By leveraging technology, we can create personalized, fair, and scalable assessments that help students learn as they’re evaluated—restoring meaning to both testing and education.
Discover how this shift can begin in grassroots learning pods and microschools—and how parents and educators can lead this transformation.
Riya, a bright college graduate, is frustrated. She’s been applying for internships with no success, even though she’s done everything “right”—submitted resumes, updated LinkedIn, and followed all the usual advice. But in a world flooded with degrees and digital noise, Dr. Malpani offers her a powerful insight: standing out today means building your personal brand, and the best place to start is with your own website.
In this candid conversation, Dr. Malpani explains why a personal website isn’t just for techies or designers—it’s the new calling card for anyone serious about their career. From showcasing projects and certifications to writing blogs and collecting testimonials, your website becomes proof of who you are and what you can do. More than just a digital resume, it’s a reflection of initiative, creativity, and commitment.
