New Delhi, October 13, 2024 — XSEED Education Founder Ashish Rajpal appeared on the podcast Badhta India Dekho for an in-depth conversation with host Debojit Sen, offering a rare and candid look into his personal and professional journey in reimagining how children learn. The full-length interview, which has since drawn strong engagement on YouTube and social media, has resonated widely with educators, parents, and entrepreneurs alike.

In the hour-long discussion, Rajpal reflects on his two-decade mission to transform the traditional classroom into an active, dynamic learning space where children think, question, and solve problems — rather than memorize and repeat. Drawing on personal experiences and lessons from building one of Asia’s most innovative education systems, he shares insights on what truly drives meaningful learning outcomes in schools.

Among the themes explored are:

1. The Power of Experiential Learning: How hands-on, inquiry-based activities make lessons more engaging and help children internalize concepts.
2. The Central Role of Problem-Solving: Why the ability to apply knowledge creatively and logically is key to thriving in the 21st century.
3. Technology as an Enabler, Not a Substitute: How digital tools can support personalized learning while keeping the teacher central to the classroom.
4. India’s Education Landscape: The opportunities and challenges in delivering quality learning at scale, and the systemic changes required for sustained impact.
5. A Founder’s Journey: The values, setbacks, and convictions that shaped Rajpal’s path from educator to education innovator.

Speaking during the interview, Ashish emphasizes that “real learning happens when children connect what they study to what they experience.” He describes how XSEED’s approach has focused on cultivating curiosity, confidence, and competence — preparing students for life beyond the classroom.

The podcast offers both inspiration and practical insight for those committed to improving education. Viewers have praised the conversation for its honesty, depth, and actionable takeaways.

The Badhta India Dekho episode stands as a compelling resource for educators, school leaders, and parents seeking to understand how experiential learning and strong fundamentals can reshape the future of schooling in India and beyond. Shorter clips were later curated from the talk and featured on XSEED Education’s YouTube channel.
