Anand Gopakumar
Co-founder and CEO
Shridhar brought a knowledge of for-profit principles to the non-profit sector, and showed us the value of thinking about things like customer obsession, theory of change and value propositions.
This allowed us to make our product as simple as possible, so that we could truly keep the “customer-centricity” — and keep our children, their perspectives and their experiences at the centre of everything we do.
