Description
The early childhood care and education (ECCE) sector in India is experiencing an unprecedented boom. As families in Tier 2, Tier 3, and semi-urban or rural regions increasingly prioritize quality foundational education, the demand for structured, affordable preschools has skyrocketed. Enter My Chhota School, one of India's fastest-growing and most disruptive preschool chains.
Unlike traditional pre-school franchises that demand heavy capital investments, exorbitant royalty fees, and steep real estate costs, My Chhota School was built on a radically accessible philosophy: making high-quality, tech-enabled, international-standard early learning accessible and financially viable across every corner of India. By leveraging an AI-integrated curriculum, zero-royalty financial models, and a lean operational footprint, My Chhota School empowers passionate individuals, women entrepreneurs, and existing school owners to launch a thriving educational venture without high overheads.
My Chhota School bridges the gap between traditional playway learning and modern cognitive skill development. Grounded in Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences, the curriculum blends tactile sensory play, dynamic smart-classroom content, and child-safe physical setups. Positioned uniquely as a premium yet affordable brand, My Chhota School gives unit owners an immediate market edge, allowing them to charge competitive tuition fees while maintaining excellent profit margins.
Background
Established Year: 2018 (Operations commenced April 2018; Franchise model launched in 2020)
Active Franchise Units: 1,200+ active centers across India (recognized by the World Book of Records for expanding to over 900+ branches in its initial two and a half years)
Founders & Leadership: Founded by brother-sister duo Mr. Kshitiz Bhasin and Ms. Palak Bhasin, with strategic leadership driven by Mr. Sanjeev Bhasin (CEO).

My Chhota School was launched specifically to democratize early childhood education by providing a budget-friendly, world-class curriculum tailored for grassroots implementation.
Market Presence: Strong pan-India network spanning 25+ states and union territories, with active penetration across district levels, sub-divisions, and growing urban suburbs.
