CSR Partnerships

Bring AI education to schools the market leaves out.

CogniGuru's contractual AI-faculty model, extended into underserved schools through CSR funding — a measurable, high-visibility way to close a real, growing gap in Indian education.

THE GAP

A national mandate, with no way to deliver it

NEP 2020 and CBSE mandate AI and computational-thinking education from the early years — but implementation outside metro schools is close to zero.
Schools beyond metro areas struggle to find or afford instructors qualified to actually teach modern AI.
Students in underserved areas risk falling years behind urban peers in digital and computational literacy before they reach competitive exams.
Most existing AI-education products are online-only, English-first, and priced for urban households — structurally out of reach for the students who need them most.

The CogniGuru model

The same instructor-led program we run commercially — funded for schools that couldn't otherwise access it.

In-person delivery

Trained instructors go to the school. No internet dependency, no device burden placed on students.

Grade-differentiated tracks

Three curriculum levels keep content age-appropriate from Class 4 through Class 12 — not one syllabus for everyone.

A published, ready-to-deploy curriculum

Lesson plans, student workbooks, project briefs, assessments and certificates — already built, not improvised on the day.

A capstone Demo Day

Every sprint closes with students presenting their own AI projects to parents and school leadership — a visible, documentable outcome.

Curriculum tracks, Grades 4 to 12

Every track runs as a 2-month sprint and closes with a student-built project and a Demo Day.

Who delivers it

Instructors are trained and supervised centrally, on a curriculum authored as part of CogniGuru's 8-level K-12 AI curriculum, published with Vedv Publication — so a CSR-funded classroom runs on the same material and quality bar as any commercial partner school.

Questions CSR teams usually ask

How is this different from “AI Lab by CogniGuru”?

Same instructors and curriculum — different funding model. AI Lab is a direct commercial partnership with a school. This is the CSR-funded version, aimed at extending the same program into underserved schools that couldn’t otherwise afford it, sponsored by a corporate partner.

Which regions do you currently focus on?

The base program targets schools on the outskirts of Bengaluru (Sarjapur, Electronic City, Yelahanka), Mysore, and Tier 2 Karnataka more broadly — with the model built to extend further as a partnership scales.

How is impact reported back to a CSR partner?

Monthly progress updates through the sprint, followed by an end-of-program impact report formatted for CSR annual disclosure and ESG reporting — covering attendance, assessments, and the projects students actually built.

Can our company’s branding be part of this?

Yes — Demo Days, certificates and program communication can be co-branded with the sponsoring partner, giving the investment a visible, community-facing identity.
