Baitanik Ghosh – Lead, Admin and Communications

"Seamless information flow to drive organizational impact."

I believe in Krishnamurti’s words: “Nothing can be taught.” Learning, like nature, unfolds through curiosity and lived experience. As someone who never went to school, I’m drawn to progressive education that nurtures critical thinking beyond traditional classrooms.

At EduWeave, I streamline internal systems and ensure communication flows across teams. My work sits at the intersection of design, knowledge, and operational support—serving people who serve learning.

Beyond work, I enjoy stargazing, nature walks, and history. I dream of an Ecotopian life where sustainability, knowledge, and joy coexist.

Fun Fact: I never attended school—and now I work in education. Learning, truly, happens everywhere!

"Shaping learning, one lesson at a time."

A lesson plan diary captures my journey as a teacher—filled with ideas, strategies, and reflections. It symbolizes growth, creativity, and the quiet pursuit of meaningful learning. For me, teaching isn’t about perfection—it’s about intention and impact.

Having once felt unseen as a student, I’m committed to making every learner feel valued. I now work to bridge policy and practice, designing programs rooted in equity, relevance, and care—believing that even small shifts can spark big change.Outside work, I’m an explorer at heart—drawn to nature, stories, and new cultures. From quiet reflection to bold ideas, I carry curiosity wherever I go.

Fun Fact: I was always the teacher who found excuses to take the class outdoors!

"Supporting early learning systems rooted in equity, language, and care."

A crayon may seem small, but in a child’s hand, it becomes a world of expression. It represents the beginning of learning—where imagination meets voice and confidence takes root.

I believe the early years shape not just how children learn, but how they see themselves in the world. Knowing that my work can help a child feel curious, confident, and seen gives deep meaning to everything I do. This belief grounds my purpose and fuels my commitment to early education. Beyond work, I’m a quiet observer, a reflective writer, and a seeker of stories in everyday life. I dream of building spaces where children and educators grow together—where learning is joyful, curiosity is unhurried, and care drives lasting change. For me, education is both a calling and a lifelong journey—one I walk with imagination, heart, and hope.

Fun Fact: I can turn any everyday moment into a story—whether it’s a bus ride, a kitchen scene, or a child’s passing question!

Founder & CEO OpenI Partners

The most formative years of a person’s life are often their childhood. The influence of family and school during this time plays a crucial role in shaping who we become. I consider myself fortunate to have been born in Pauri-Garhwal and raised in a joint family, which gave me an early advantage in my education. I’m also excited to see how Eduweave is working to make this education accessible to every child in Bharat.

I believe Education is the bedrock for a country’s future and to start with, basic education should be mandatory to make children think progressively for a better tomorrow. In India, the challenge is lack of this basic education, both from the perspective of infrastructure and quality, and however possible, we should channelise our energy and effort to bridge this gap effectively. If you cannot do yourself, help others who are making an effort in this field.
