Making Sense of Complexity in Education and Learning
​
Education is full of noise — new technologies, bold claims, and quick fixes. My work is about clarity: helping organizations, teams, and schools make thoughtful, sustainable choices about how people learn.
Meet Manas
I am a teacher, strategist, and mentor who has worked across boardrooms, classrooms, education systems, NGOs, and global businesses. My passion is to cut through the noise and help people and organizations make sense of learning in a complex world.
​
​My work spans ed-tech companies, education businesses, and international non-profits—helping them craft strategies, build capacity, and ground innovation in what truly works for learners. Alongside this, I continue to work with schools and educators to stay rooted in practice.
Key Offerings
Advisory
Strategy and Clarity for Organizations in Education
I advise ed-tech companies, international NGOs, and education businesses navigating complexity. My work focuses on:
-
Strategy & Sense-Making: cutting through hype to craft sustainable education strategies.
-
Learning Design & Capacity Building: developing and implementing frameworks for real-world impact.
-
Evaluation & Rethinking Impact: beyond vanity metrics, toward meaningful outcomes.
Grounded in research and practice, my advisory work helps organizations stay future-ready without losing sight of human learning.
Mentorship
Sharpening Leaders and Teams
The best organizations don’t just need strategies — they need people who can think deeply, design intelligently, and lead with clarity.
​
I mentor senior executives and learning design teams to:
-
Clarify their stance on education and learning.
-
Strengthen design practice beyond “content delivery.”
-
Anticipate trends while staying grounded in evidence.
Mentorship is not about off-the-shelf training — it’s about sharpening your own lens on learning and leadership.
Schools
Transforming Schools from the Inside Out
Schools are where ideas, systems, and technology meet real learners. My work with schools focuses on:
-
School Transformation: rethinking culture, curriculum, and teaching practice.
-
Teacher Development: building reflective, self-renewing teaching communities.
-
Leadership Mentorship: guiding leaders through change with clarity and confidence.
Even when resources are tight, insights from schools ripple outward — shaping better strategies for NGOs, ed-techs, and education businesses.
