Creating schools without teachers
Abhijit Sinha is the Founder and CEO of Project DEFY. Project DEFY is enabling learners all around the world to take charge of their own learning and design their own lives, by creating Self-learning Spaces called Nooks for marginalised communities.

Project DEFY is creating teacher-less learning spaces that are called Nooks. Nook comes from a hindi word ‘nukkad’ which is a village corner where the villagers come together to share their lives. Nooks are safe places where people can come in and express, experiment and explore. Abhijit is one of the most creative thinkers in education today in India. His education models are inspiring and disruptive.
