About Me

I'm Varchas Koushik - a learning experience designer, math storyteller, and founder of All Things Classroom.

I've worked across BYJU'S, Synthesis, Doyobi, Strive, StayQrious, NYSKOOL, building learning systems that range from game-based environments to curriculum design to operations at scale.

At my core, I believe learning should feel like something you want to be part of - not something you have to do.
