Co-Founders
In the era of 21st century, the education system is believed to be laid on the founding stones for an industrialized age of standardization. With the world being at a turning point amidst the digital and the conceptual age, the connected sphere is on a constant need to innovate. Unfortunately, the K-12 system lags behind in preparing the students to grow in the fast-changing landscape. The acquisition and application of relevant skills and knowledge count to be the most essential components for success. However, the term ‘relevant’ is often found to be ambiguous and distorted by the highly dynamic demands of the workplace, making it challenging for secondary school graduates to anticipate and adapt.
These challenges and opportunities are only going to grow over time. Thus creating a significant impact on the education, skill gaps, job creation and more. Till some time ago, the term STEM, an acronym referring to the subjects of science, technology, engineering and mathematics which possessed immense gravity no longer holds the element of benefit for younger evolving minds. Today education is beyond it. It seeks for immersive learning experiences enabling an overall personality development of a student. As digitization is bound to expand horizons, the need to make future generation ready has emerged as one of the most important areas of focus for the educators and edupreneurs demanding a blended-learning K-12 environment imbibed with creativity, real-world problem-solving skills and beyond it.
Noida based K-12 Aspire is one amongst them, a game changer led by a positive and forward-thinking approach. The platform clearly understands that to build the leaders of tomorrow recognition of quantitative skills is a must. Despite the fact, the students should be confident enough to make decisions not just based on what they think or feel rather on a scientific reason for an informed decision-making outlook.
The Genesis
The inception story of K-12 is nothing short of a revolution. It was a long-pursued dream of Sunil Mohal, an alumnus of IHM Pusa with over 30+ years of training experience across industry verticals along with his co-founders Gurpreet Singh and Deepak Sharma, technologists and engaged in the education technology services area. In fact, the journey of K-12 Aspire is a pure outcome of perseverance, dedication, and grit. What started off as an ambition way back in 1986by Sunil to set up computerized education facilities at schools, with the passage of time turned Sunil to be an entrepreneur and vested the zeal in him to work till the goal was achieved. To make this true, he joined Informatics Computer Systems (ICS) one of the country’s early providers in computer education. Going ahead, he was associated with some of the prominent schools across the length and breadth of the nation such as Modern School, Mayo College Ajmer, Sherwood College, Rajkumar College Rajkot, PSBB – Chennai and more and have worked with some of the renowned educationists to conduct workshops, seminars and more. Speaking on the journey, Sunil Mohal, Co-Founder, K-12 Aspire says, “Organising programming competitions in BASIC and PASCAL were of great fun. But my actual introduction to eLearning came when I interacted with Br Parton of St.Columba’s, Delhi who was eager to have Computer Based Training (CBT’s) in order to help the young children be it in Mathematics or Basic English. This landmark incident sowed in me that the computer was a great tool in education. And, enduring this belief over the years, the actual germ of the idea took place in June 2017 when we did market surveys to comprehend the hurdles of the student community. To mitigate the challenges and intricacies we came up with K-12 Aspire – a platform not only for basic learning but imparting skills to produce the leaders of tomorrow.”
Three Steps for Better Learning Experiences
K-12 Aspire embraces the major disruptions taking place in the educational field right from the shift from pen-paper to computerized assessments to online conducted exams be it for school, college, and even at professional level. Captivating the changing dynamics, the platform has taken three keen steps to meet the necessities. First, the Communication skill that serves one to face the global world, second, the essence focused on Mental Ability and Logical Reasoning Capabilities and third denoting the Online Assessments.
Sunil avers, “It’s not just about learning but enriching the skills. From a linear model to advanced learning methodologies and the digital efficacy whooping up, the entire spectrum has proffered the teachers and students unlimited opportunities to teach & preach and improve the insights through involvement and participation.”
On the constant move to catch hold the best of opportunities, K-12 Aspire envisions to achieve milestones in carefully calibrated steps. Entitled to render the students a precise purpose of learning, autonomy, and association with co-creating their preferences based on the analysis of test results coupled with practice, the company desires to implement pro-active methodologies to scientifically address their knowledge gaps.

Technology. Right Guidance. Learning Resources - The Forte
Pinpointing that though technology is a great tool but cannot be replaced wholly by the human element, K-12 prefers interactive open styles of learning combined with educational support tools like audio-video based content to make learning interesting and saves time. It also trains the teachers to use the technology as a support tool, aid them with communication skills. “Our styles of teaching are based on ‘Grasha Teaching Styles’. Leveraging them on how to make their appropriate use we also equip our sales and counsellors to counsel, not sell,” says Mohal.
Institutionalized as an educational organization with a strong technology background that offers flexible, multi-platform and state-of-the-art scientifically designed learning; K-12s pre-built teaching module with extensive User Interface (UI) features easy-to-view reports, crisp dashboards, security, and others. “The core of our online offerings is the detailed reporting imbibed with technology, a great tool for monitoring and quality control,” mentions Sunil.
K-12 perceives that right guidance and outstanding learning resources are the fundamental parts of any learning place strives to aggregate varied elements of career counselling and options, communication improvement and confidence building. Their customized ‘Scholastic Management System’, an internally developed system leverages an accurate and a complete set of guidelines for teachers in respect to identify the right resources, training, and back them with tools – attuned with flexibility features and multi-platform learning structure.
