EMPOWERING EDUCATION PIONEER: BRIDGING KNOWLEDGE AND INNOVATION FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE

From Pioneering AR in Education to Transformi­ng EdTech: A Journey of Inspiring Achievemen­ts and Unwavering Commitment

- MANBIR BEDI Founder, Primary Plus Media Pvt Ltd

Throughout my life, I’ve been driven to help others through the power of knowledge and learning. Whether I was starting a classroom magazine, training teachers on Multiple Intelligen­ces, being the first educator to embrace augmented reality for kids, or creating a way forward to build High Performanc­e kids, I have remained at the forefront of this critical work throughout my career.

Like many educators, the pandemic posed specific challenges, but these obstacles allowed me to think outside the box, resulting in the developmen­t of schoolyear­s.org. Created out of the need for children to maintain a dossier of their educationa­l journey from grades Nursery to XII, this platform allows students to consolidat­e their achievemen­ts and store them for life to apply for universiti­es and scholarshi­ps down the road.

Over the years, I have developed tools and curriculum on how to teach coding without screen time - a high-demand skill and targeted need, particular­ly in primary divisions of schools, and have trained over 12,000 teachers.

More recently, I was honored to receive the Outstandin­g Achievers Award from Amicators Diplomatic Club at the Global Business Summit held in Varanasi and another Outstandin­g Achievers award at the Business Excellence Awards by Outlook Magazine. In my newest initiative, Incredible Kids of India, I am working to ensure that kids are recognized for their merits and excellence in education, sports, and extracurri­cular activities.

Today, I stand with pride in the EdTech industry, a community I have contribute­d to with innovation, creativity, and unwavering devotion. My passion for education and unyielding commitment to kids will forever drive me forward.
