Less spoon feeding, more thinking.
We see a world where every child learns by thinking.
The problem that must be solved
Children are natural thinkers. They are curious and ask many questions.
And then they get busy learning definitions and formulae. They are rewarded with marks and grades if they remember the information provided by the teacher or the book.
What a fabulous system of making extraordinary thinkers into ordinary thinkers!
The solution
Thinking Classroom is saying that enough is enough. That's why we have designed programs with beautiful questions at their core. Thinking Classroom offers Thinkbook for schools, and has launched the Critical Thinking Program to develop critical thinking skills in students.
Our story so far
Thinking Classroom began in 2018. The founders realised that schools focused on exams and marks but rarely gave children a deep grasp of a concept — kids were scoring marks without really understanding.
We named the initiative 'Thinking Classroom' because we wanted to make children think and question.

We are a team of thinkers
Thinking Classroom programs are designed by a team of young graduates from some of the finest universities — such as the IITs and NITs — in India. The team is a group of thinkers who live and breathe science and math. When they look around themselves, they do not see a table, a wall or a book. They see science and math.
Since 2018, the Thinking Classroom team has been working to increase the thinking in many classrooms. The questions designed by the team are currently making 200,000+ students think more than before.
Listen to the Thinking Classroom song: a catchy tune that showcases a teacher's quest to create a Thinking Classroom.
