The first five years of a child’s life are a golden age of limitless potential. These formative years are the architects of their tomorrow – their minds, their hearts, and their futures. Yet, millions of young Indian minds are denied the crucial building blocks they need to thrive. A readiness gap looms large, casting a shadow over the nation’s aspirations.

In this context, AWS Bharat Innovators Series, powered by AWS, AMD, and YourStory, is set to host a virtual fireside chat focused on the critical issue of early childhood development (ECD). The session, titled “Closing the Readiness Gap: Scaling Early Childhood Education for Millions”, will feature industry leaders Azeez Gupta and Vishal Sunil, Co-founders of Rocket Learning, in conversation with Sunil PP, India & South Asia Lead: Education, Space, NPO, Channels & Alliances, Amazon Web Services.

Rocket Learning is at the forefront of transforming early childhood education in India. Their innovative approach combines digital and in-person community practices, scalable solutions, and policy support to address the ECD readiness gap.

During the fireside chat, Gupta and Sunil will discuss how their organisation leverages technology and community engagement to create a sustainable and scalable model for early childhood education. They will share insights on their collaboration with MIT’s Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (MIT-JPAL) to drive irreversible change at the grassroots level. This partnership underscores the importance of evidence-based interventions in making a lasting impact on children’s lives.
