About

The Indian education system is broken — built to produce workers, not thinkers. At Think School, we’re on a mission to change that. We deliver world-class practical education through our Business & Geopolitical Case Studies — actionable breakdowns of how companies win, why businesses fail, and how global forces shape economies. Lessons you can immediately apply. We also host the Indian Business Podcast — India’s top business podcast — where industry leaders and policymakers decode strategy, business growth and leadership. Each episode is a masterclass designed for clarity. We offer real-world courses like the Communication Masterclass to help you speak with confidence and clarity. Think School is a movement to redefine how India learns. If you believe education should create leaders, not followers — subscribe and join the movement.
