Our Journey
Curriculum Highlights
Our disciplined approach to growth and operations
- Minimal Capex Investment: Apart from the Hyderabad Micro School, we avoid significant capital expenditure.
- Proportional Allocation of Development Funds: We utilize a Canadian LMS for curriculum hosting until we reach 10K learners, eliminating the need for building our own tech platform prematurely.
- Tech-Driven and Lean Operations: From HR Ops and hiring to marketing and sales, our processes are tech-driven, ensuring cost-effectiveness and efficiency in manpower utilization.
- Prudent Spending: We prioritize human development over extravagant expenses. Our core team, many of whom have been with Ms. Lina Ashar for over five years, hold ESOPs to foster a sense of ownership.
- Strong Focus on Business Performance and Cash Flow: Monthly financial reports are meticulously reviewed by board members, ensuring robust financial health and accountability.
