About us

Every example of systems change across the world – the ones that have climbed the trajectory from poor to good – have had new innovative and disruptive schools at the centre of them. They’ve also held renewed pipelines to reconstruct the state of talent in the sector. At The Circle, we’re striving to fuel both. We envision an India that is free of poverty and filled with love. In pursuit of that vision, we aspire to create a network of schools, teachers, and after-school centres that are reinventing the country’s educational system. We’re building an innovative model to build a reinvented circle of schools, after-school centers, and teachers that, together, empower low-income students to change the world. The Circle Incubation Our incubation is an 18-month fully paid, intensive program for entrepreneurs with the courage and commitment to redesign and launch innovative learning experiences for India’s children. The Circle Labs A combination of capacity-building programs, light-touch workshops, media campaigns, school transformation programming, and top-down advocacy efforts.

    Meet the team members and students of Muktangan. The good folks at Muktangan run seven, high quality English-medium schools in the heart of Mumbai. Delivered in partnership with the government, they’re running a Public Private Partnership that’s serving some of the city’s most marginalized and at-risk students. I wasn’t astounded just by the high level of quality these schools are delivering. Kids were writing and reading, in English, at grade level. They were working through real-life projects to demonstrate their learning. And they were collaborating and fostering communities of support. Their culture was, in other words, real and authentic. And their learning was relevant and innovative. I was most astounded, I think, by the ethos underlying each school. Muktangan’s philosophy is to lean heavily on local, community-based talent. All of their teachers live and reside in the communities in which they serve. To support that - and to deliver on high quality - they’ve developed a robust Training Education Centre that upskills teachers with intensive support and daily coaching. This teacher below, has been at it for ten years. She’s passionate about her kids. And she’s now equipped to start training many other teachers.  We need many more Muktangans. We know that so much is possible when we partner with the government. We know that we can deliver on both quality and innovation in the process. We know that the vision of the NEP calls for a new approach. Are you interested in starting a school in partnership with the government? It’s one of our biggest priorities at The Circle. We’ll help you navigate every step of the way. Join The Circle Network and go further together. Applications are now open. The link to apply is in the comments.  Amalaya Jashnani, Siddharth Chellappa, Ngo Muktangan, Mayur Khaire, Sanjiv Mehta, The Circle India

    Senior Director, Regions at Teach for India

    In my work, I meet so many passionate and committed individuals who want to start their own school. Their own special school, in their own village, for their own community. A different kind of school, a different philosophy and pedagogy, to try something new. And in the same breath, I also hear the tentativeness and hesitation. Where do you start from? How do you go about it? Maybe not now, maybe in a decade when things are more settled. What if you didn’t have to build and run your school or after-school program alone? You've got the energy, the vision, and the drive to reinvent education. But big ideas need the right support to thrive. That’s where The Circle India Incubation program comes in. The Circle Incubation is a space where bold thinkers like you come together to shape the future of learning. It’s a ticket to a Network that will walk with you for a lifetime. Here, you’ll find a community that challenges and inspires you, mentors who’ve walked this path before, and the resources to turn your vision into something tangible.
