About the Company:

Nalanda Learning Systems Pvt. Ltd is a pre- primary education initiative which was founded in 2012 under the brand name of "Little Laureates". This was the brain child of Mr. Tamal Mukherjee and Mr. Timir Mukherjee , the founders having more than 20+ years of experience in financial service sectors and pre schooling segment. The group has established the second largest pre-school chain in West Bengal and Tripura and counts some marquee investors such as Aavishkaar Capital, and other Angel investors such as Jayesh Parekh, Vineet Rai etc. as its backers. Within a short span of time, Nalanda was able to establish 83 branches (COCO) and became a household name in eastern part of India specially in West Bengal and Tripura. In March 2020, the whole world shut down and Covid-19 disrupted the entire education system with 90 per cent of the preschools being forced to close their doors resulting in a huge learning gap of students between 2 years to 6 years of age.

It is a winning combination of ground breaking technology and traditional schooling to support parents, students and bringing back hopes of all preschool owners with security and business continuity. Today the Nalanda team is delivering quality education to over 4,500+ students across India with over 150+ empowered mentors, having conducted over 1 lakh classes seamlessly in calendar year 2021.

With Nalanda's legacy of physical and virtual pre-schooling experience that led to its tremendous
