Founded by parents who wanted a space like this for their own daughter
We're a slow-travelling family who have been worldschooling our daughter for nearly two years. Along the way, we kept asking a simple question: What kind of environment helps curious, driven kids grow into their fullest potential?
A joyful space that doesn't compromise on rigor or mastery — where discipline grows from the love of meaningful work.
That idea is captured in the word Manabi (学び) — a Japanese word for learning through practice, reflection, and the pursuit of mastery.
That's what Manabi is: a close-knit global community where curious kids explore bold ideas, build real things, and pursue excellence together.
For over 20 years, I’ve built edtech companies like Power Club and Vedantu, and global learning communities serving thousands of students and schools. At Manabi, I work closely with students as they explore ideas and build projects.
My work spans finance, education, and startups, but the common thread has been thoughtful design—whether shaping learning environments, building ventures, or planning our travels. At Manabi, I lead the learning design and student experience.
Students don't just explore,
they build real projects.
