Transparency is the new currency in many industries today. The food industry has brands like The Whole Truth questioning conventional labelling, True Elements focusing on clean labels and 100% whole grain products, Blue Tokai emphasising transparency in sourcing practices. Similarly, in homecare, brands like Koparo have brought transparency and ingredient clarity to cleaning products. These examples are emblematic of a consumer awakening, where people care about what they are buying and its impact. But in Education, where the stakes are arguably highest, there is an unsettling silence.

In India, education is more than just schooling-it is a lifeline. Every year, families across the socio-economic spectrum invest their savings, their hopes, and their dreams into education. For many, it is not about acquiring knowledge but survival. However, this reality, filled with life-altering implications, remains cloaked in a shadow of ambiguity, and it begs the question: Why do we know more about what is in our cleaning spray than what lies behind the promises of an educational institution?
