Prabhat Saxena from Uttar Pradesh started his NGO, Srijan Ek Soch, in 2015 to help underprivileged students seek the same quality education and holistic development that one finds in schools in urban areas

“Many of my colleagues wanted to give back to India but didn’t know how to do so. With this model, I showed how each one of them could be a Mohan Bhargava (played by SRK in Swades) in their own right.”

“It was so heartening to see them ask a variety of questions – from “How many teeth does an anaconda have?” to “Who made you, Alexa?” Often, children are discouraged from asking too many questions at school. With Alexa, there is no such bar and this makes me extremely happy!”
