Akash Yadav, The Sky High: Off The Ground
“The Circle’s Incubation (Programme) has been supremely helpful as a launchpad. It provided an ecosystem of support and mentorship from day zero that helped me and The Sky High navigate the troughs of building chain of schools from 0 to 1 ”.
Akash Yadav believes that every child deserves to have access to high-quality education, irrespective of their pincodes. Acknowledging that many students from rural demographies are first-generation learners, he chose to launch The Sky High in Akbarpur, Uttar Pradesh to ensure that kids can be equipped with skills that puts them on equal starting point to their urban counterparts.
In our third release of Off The Ground, we hope you can see Akash for the resolute and dedicated educator he is and his ambition to deliver high-quality education in the rural demography of Uttar Pradesh.
In this series, we follow the journeys of The Circle entrepreneurs who have set out to reinvent what education in India can look like for its most disadvantaged students.
