DESIGNED BY EDUCATORS · BUILT FOR CLASSROOMS
We help schools and colleges teach creativity as a skill.
A creative-education company built on eight years of classroom work and ongoing research, run by an educator.
WHO WE ARE
Creativity, treated as a skill schools can actually build.
Hankernest is a creative-education company. We work with schools and colleges across India to build programmes that take creativity seriously as a learnable skill, not as a personality trait some students have and others don’t.
Most schools want creative learners. Few have a way to actually build them. We’ve spent eight years working out how, in classrooms with real timetables, real educators, and real academic responsibilities.
01 · FUNDAMENTAL
Educators before equipment
Pedagogy first. Tools earn their place only when they add real value.
01 · FUNDAMENTAL
Fit before ambition
Designed for the timetable you already have, not the one you wish you had.
01 · FUNDAMENTAL
Implementation before expansion
Year-long structured engagement, chosen over one-off events.
WHO WE SERVE
One pedagogy, shaped for three kinds of educators.
Whoever you are, start where it fits your role. Every programme is built on the same classroom-tested approach.
FOR SCHOOLS
Bringing creative thinking into Indian classrooms
ATL implementation, CSL preparation for the August 2027 mandate, teacher capacity building, and year-long classroom programmes that fit your timetable.
FOR COLLEGES
Bridging classrooms and the world outside
Faculty Development Programmes anchored in research, and Online Internships that take learning out of the lecture hall.
FOR EDUCATORS
For teachers building their craft
The Founding Cohort certification, ATL & CSL Management Training, and Learncations — all built on the same pedagogy as our institutional work.
Not sure where to start?
A 30-minute conversation. No deck. No sales pitch. Just a conversation about your school’s context and whether we can be useful.
I’ve taught in classrooms in three countries now. The challenges are different. The thing that works is always the same: a teacher who knows how to make space for thinking.
