True success is not a flash in the pan, as Aakash Chaudhry is well aware. In this interview with INK Founder Lakshmi Pratury, Chaudhry shares the story of his namesake academic coaching organization, Aakash Institute. It is the story of his father’s painstaking entrepreneurial journey in education and his own mission to empower aspiring students through quality teaching and technology-enabled systems. Explaining his desire to embrace the future of digital education platforms, Chaudhry touches upon BYJU’s acquisition of Akash and highlights key lessons that often get downplayed by the pace of technology–placing students at the center of any education solution and establishing thoughtful guardrails for education delivery, especially through digital platforms.
