In the heart of Bangalore, LIB Education stands as a quiet yet powerful disruptor in the tutoring landscape. Founded in May 2023 by the educator–strategist duo Dr. Kakali Roy Chowdhury and Mr. Rishin Roy Chowdhury, the institute was born from a simple but profound belief—that quality education must be inclusive, compassionate, and tailored to each student’s unique needs.
The journey began with a self-funded capital of ₹1 lakh, a modest physical space, and the vision to create a hybrid learning hub that would not just teach but inspire. Within just over a year, LIB Education has witnessed 300% year-on-year growth, nurtured 500+ students, and carved out a niche in language-focused learning—a subject area often overshadowed in mainstream education.
A Vision Beyond Conventional Classrooms
Dr. Kakali, with over 25 years of teaching experience, has mentored students across age groups, specializing in languages such as Sanskrit, French, English, Kannada, and Hindi. Her strength lies in blending academic rigour with emotional intelligence—helping students not just pass exams, but build lasting confidence. Complementing her expertise is Rishin, whose operational acumen, digital strategy skills, and systems thinking ensure the institute runs with efficiency, adaptability, and a future-ready approach.
The founders’ combined skillset fuels LIB’s USP—a personalized hybrid learning model that caters to academic, personal, and cultural language goals. Whether a Grade 6 student needs help in Sanskrit, or a working professional wishes to learn French for career growth, LIB offers a learning path that fits.
Bridging the Gaps in Education
The pandemic years exposed a glaring reality—many students were falling behind, especially in subjects like languages that rarely get specialized attention. Conversations with parents and learners revealed a need for custom-paced, empathetic guidance. LIB Education emerged as that bridge, blending offline mentorship with digital tools to create a flexible and student-centric ecosystem.
In a country where exam-focused systems often overlook personal growth, LIB makes confidence-building as much a priority as syllabus coverage. Here, learning is not just about marks; it’s about developing the courage to express, the curiosity to explore, and the discipline to persist.
Challenges That Shaped the Journey
For Kakali and Rishin, the road was far from smooth. Gaining trust—from both students and parents—was a delicate process that demanded patience and credibility. Aligning faculty with their values, managing operations, and wearing multiple hats as founders tested their resolve. Yet, each challenge reinforced their mission to create a safe, supportive, and high-impact learning space.
Their biggest learning? Consistency is more powerful than quick wins. Real transformation takes time, and staying true to their purpose has been the anchor through every high and low.
Looking Ahead
LIB Education is already eyeing the future with plans to expand online offerings, design curated language modules, and eventually franchise their model to reach more learners across India. AI-powered progress tracking and adaptive learning tools are also on the horizon—ensuring every student gets a truly personalized experience.
Words of Wisdom for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
Their advice is simple yet powerful: “Start. Start small if you must, but start. Stay true to your vision, listen to the people you’re building for, and serve with intention. Growth follows consistency.”
For Dr. Kakali and Mr. Rishin Roy Chowdhury, LIB Education is more than a business—it’s a mission to give languages the respect they deserve and students the confidence they need to thrive in academics and life.
