  • The Dost Story

    Did you know that 90% of our brain development happens by the time we are just six years old? This factor, backed by research done by the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University, has vast implications for the advancement of not only individual quality of life, but also social and economic gains for society as a whole.

     

    Founded in 2016, Dost Education is an Ed-tech non-profit that focuses on development during these formative years. In the past few years, Dost has made leaps in making Early Childhood Development accessible, working alongside multiple state governments as well as organisations like UNICEF to benefit more that 200,000 families from all over India. In the next 5 years, Dost seeks to reach 7 million families in its mission to make every child school-ready.
