India, December 16, 2025: Access to quality education has never been evenly distributed, and the gap has only widened with technology becoming a prerequisite for learning. In a country as diverse as India, millions of students still struggle to find reliable, affordable academic support. Against this backdrop, inspir has emerged as a platform committed to removing barriers and bringing learning within everyone’s reach.
inspir was created with this belief at its core. With the tagline “Learning is fun, learning is for everyone,” inspir is an AI-powered learning platform designed to make high-quality education accessible to every child, regardless of their background. At a time when digital learning often comes with a price, inspir stands apart by offering a completely free learning experience for school students across India.
The idea behind inspir began long before AI became mainstream. In 2013, Ramakrishnan Lokanathan started inspir as a simple Facebook page sharing better, more engaging quiz questions. What began as a passion project soon grew into a vision, an education ecosystem where learning is enjoyable, inclusive, and available to all.
Ramakrishnan went on to build one of India’s earliest applied AI companies. His for-profit venture, PetDukaan, developed intelligent tools for pet parents and was eventually acquired in 2023. This experience in applied AI became the foundation for inspir’s rapid development. When generative AI entered the global spotlight, inspir was one of the first learning apps in the world to adopt it, launching just two weeks after ChatGPT.
Since then, inspir has quietly created one of the largest impact footprints in India’s education space. The platform has already supported over 3 million students, offering easy-to-understand explanations, creative exercises, personalised quizzes, and a learning environment built around curiosity rather than pressure. For many students, especially those without access to paid coaching or expensive edtech apps, inspir has become a free, friendly companion in their academic journey.
The platform’s philosophy draws from a simple observation: societies progress not when only a few have power or wealth, but when ordinary people have education, security, and freedom. Across history, wherever people gained access to learning, they transformed their communities and shaped better futures.
As the world navigates the rise of AI, inspir believes that human creativity, consciousness, and curiosity will matter more than ever. And the best way to prepare the next generation is by ensuring every child, everywhere, can learn without barriers.
For inspir, this is not just a product, it is a movement to make high-quality learning accessible to 1.4 billion people in India, and eventually, to learners across the world.
