About Me

Hello there! 👋

I'm Naresh — an entrepreneur, product builder, educator, and self-described pseudo-techie based out of Bangalore, India. I've spent my career at the intersection of education and technology, building platforms, schools, startups, and a children's publishing house along the way.

I currently serve as the Chief Academic Officer at Orchids — The International School, where I oversee academics across 120+ private schools across India. Before that, I led product at Techademy, an end-to-end LXP for IT companies in India, and held multiple leadership roles at K12 Techno Services.

Lately I've gone back to building with my own hands. With an AI coding assistant, I've been shipping real tools for our schools: AI-assisted teaching insights from classroom audio, a house system and leaderboard for 120+ schools, and a daily puzzle app for kids.

My earliest venture was the Book Lovers Program for Schools — a reading program, a children's publishing house (MsMoochie Books), a library, a performance space, and an IB curriculum content studio all rolled into one. I've always loved building things from scratch.
