About Speaker:

Aneesh Bangia is an alumnus of IIT Madras. After working in Ashok Leyland for a year, he discovered his love for teaching. He started teaching children and then turned into an entrepreneur to solve the more fundamental issues with the school system. He is the co-founder of a revolutionary start-up called Open Door. 

Aneesh started Open Door in 2014 along with his college mate Abhishek Kariwal with the vision of making students better self-learners. In the first year of inception, they started teaching children in small batches in their learning centres in Pune and Bangalore. They used to teach by mainly asking questions and allowing children to understand difficult concepts by themselves. 

Aneesh strongly believes that the teachers in classrooms should speak less, ask more questions and once they have asked a question, they should allow children the time to think. The purpose of teaching should mainly be to develop thinking habits among children, with learning of the topic being a by-product.
