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.
