CH 02 · The GapTC 00:04:22

Every industry has a home. Education infrastructure never did.

Architects, developers, educators, technology, investors, government, manufacturers — all moving. None moving together.

Decision-makers in conversation at EduInfra Connect, Mumbai Plate 01 · Mumbai · 17 Mar 2026

We exist to connect the people building India's future learning environments.

Operators, developers, architects, capital and government have never had a shared room, or a shared record. We are both.

CH 03 · The Circle — What We KeepTC 00:09:47

Four ways of preserving knowledge.

The Circle is the record of the decade: a podcast and film series, a closed-door dinner, a documentary and a hardbound annual — kept for the people who built it.

01
The Big Build
Podcast & Film Series

Conversations disappear, unless someone records them.

02
The Boardroom
Closed-Door Dinner

Ideas stay small, unless leaders challenge each other.

03
Building Bharat
Documentary

History is lost, unless someone documents it.

04
The EduInfra Blueprint
Hardbound Annual

Wisdom fades, unless someone preserves it.

CH 06 · What the Room SaidTC 00:31:16
The format is intense, and the room is exactly right: the entire education-operator ecosystem — primary and secondary — with developers, architects and service providers in one room.
