Our story
so far

Open Door began in 2013. The founders realized early on that the school system focused on exams and marks but had limitations in providing in-depth mastery of a concept. In other words, children were scoring marks but the learning was pointless because no one was really understanding a concept.

We kept the name of the initiative ‘Open Door’ because we wanted to make children think and question.

Who are we?

Open Door's programs are designed a team of young graduates from some of the finest universities - such as the IITs and NITs - in India. This team consists of a group of thinkers who live and breathe science and math. When they look around themselves, they do not see a table, a wall or a book. They see opportunities to design beautiful science and math questions.

Each of Open Door's departments is like an instrument, which when plays together to produce a wonderful symphony.

Over the last 7 years, Open Door team has been working to increase the thinking in many classrooms. Open Door's programs are currently making 150000+ students think more than before.
