In the vibrant city of Mumbai, a new chapter in education began to unfold. Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana, known for his thoughtful films, has made an investment in Techybrid ThinkTank Private Limited and has officially taken on the role of brand ambassador for its hybrid homeschooling platform called Birla Brainiacs.
This partnership aimed to reshape education in India by combining online and offline learning experiences that catered to the needs of today's students and their parents.
Ayushmann was excited about this initiative. "Holistic growth is crucial for a child's overall development," he said.

Founded in 2019 by Nirvaan Birla, Birla Brainiacs is a Mumbai-based edtech startup that offers a unique approach to education for students from nursery to 12th grade. Along with its core subjects, the platform provided courses in financial literacy, music, coding, and communicative English.
These courses aimed to enhance students' real-world skills, preparing them for the challenges ahead. The vision was clear: to inspire and empower students through engaging and experiential learning.
