EP 162 - Prerna Jhunjhunwala - Founder of Creative Galileo and Little Paddington Preschools - That Encouragement Has Made Me Fearless

I was more than impressed by Prerna Jhunjhunwala's commitment to making education accessible to the masses.  Prerna is the Founder of Little Paddington – a highly acclaimed preschool in Singapore and Creative Galileo - a new-age Ed-Tech start-up transforming early learning globally for children from three to ten years.  Creative Galileo aims to accelerate a child's development of early literacy through narrative videos, gamification, and personalised learning journeys.

Some of the topics that Prerna discussed:

• Most of Prerna's childhood was spent in third-tier cities and small villages
• She was in the factory every day as a 10 to 12-year-old and the workers would ask her to teach their children English and Math
• How and why educating others became so important to her
• Realizing at a young age that access to education was a privilege
• Starting Little Paddington Preschool when she was 24
• The reason for founding Creative Galileo
• Understanding the importance of the teacher for 3 to 10-year-olds
• Licensing the most popular characters in India and how those characters keep the students engaged
• The six learning domains
• Creative Galileo's recently announced capital raise and how she expects to deploy it
• The CXXO Program at Kalaari Capital
