We at Agile World Indie, Jatin Sanghavi and Jayshree Nair had a opportunity to connect with Dr. Poornima and Srikara who have an institute called Agileshala. Agile shaala is a place where students of all age group experience the joy of learning. Here they believe that learning is for life . They cultivate and nurture curiosity, instil applied thinking and logical reasoning. The students get ready for not only academic exams but are trained to fare well in the real exam called ” life”.

Poornima and Srikara have used Agile(scrum) to empower students to acquire the knowledge, values and skills that will support them, as life-long learners, to participate in and contribute towards a sustainable world. Their mission is to use Agile to foster an enthusiastic, creative community of leaders who will contribute to the intellectual, emotional and economic upliftment of society.
