Our Product

“Creativity is as important as literacy” - Sir Ken Robinson

With this belief, Ohana is building the world's largest holistic learning academy. Our product offering:

The Classroom: Offering live online classes on arts, crafts, linguistics, yoga, dance and many more subjects
The Playground: Enabling social learning - a community for kids to find peers with similar interests

Our mission

India has 250Mn kids in the K12 segment. However, except the top 0.1%, most parents can’t find high-quality and affordable holistic learning for their kids. Fortunately, 140Mn kids are now connected to the digital world with 4G access. We want to leverage this new connectivity and bridge the gap in children's overall development with Ohana.

Where are we in our journey
