Kajal Agrawal’s statement: GroBro is the first-of-its-kind reading comprehension program designed to make reading measurable and fun. GRO stands for Grow, Read, Own. Our unique Gro Quotient shows how much a child is improving in comprehension and curiosity, not just finishing books. With our Gro Box filled with books and fun activities, we make reading exciting and rewarding. Our mission is simple—help children read smarter, think deeper, and grow better!
Achyut Jasani said “GroBro is pioneering something extraordinary — for the first time in India, an AI-powered, scientifically curated reading program is empowering young minds to read better, debate, think critically, and learn in ways that were previously unimaginable. The world is flooded with information, but GroBro’s approach focuses on how to harness and apply that information meaningfully. This is not just an educational innovation; it’s a paradigm shift in how we nurture curiosity and critical thinking. I am proud to be an early backer of GroBro and excited to witness the remarkable impact they are creating for the next generation of learners. ”
Amit Mehta said “It’s a marvel how GroBro is harnessing the power of AI in education with this one-of-a-kind AI-driven debate initiative. In today’s world, information is abundant, but the real challenge lies in leveraging it effectively to create meaningful insights and foster critical thinking. GroBro has demonstrated exceptional innovation in doing just that. Brilliantly done, GroBro—I look forward to seeing you scale and continue transforming the way knowledge is applied in education.”
