Education is the one lever that changes everything.
But in India, access has never been equal.

For every student who can afford coaching, there are millions who can’t. For every city classroom with resources, there are villages left behind.

In this special Teachers’ Day and Onam episode, Gopal Iyer speaks with Roshni Mukherjee, founder of LearnoHub (formerly ExamFear) — one of India’s most impactful free learning platforms.

Roshni left behind a corporate career to teach science on YouTube. With just a marker and a camera, she created thousands of free video lessons that now reach millions of students across India.

In this conversation, we explore:
✅ Why education is still the biggest equity gap in India
✅ How LearnoHub broke barriers of cost, geography, and privilege
✅ Stories of students whose lives were transformed by free access to learning
✅ The challenges of building a free education platform at scale
✅ And the future of learning in India when passion, technology, and equity collide

This isn’t theory.
It’s one woman’s fight to democratize dreams and change how India learns.

👉 Tune in to Journey to the Future for a conversation about courage, access, and the power of teachers to shape generations.
