In our age, life is a game not only of textbooks and knowledge, but also of ambition and action. And so, At The Big Red Group, we believe that education can never be restricted to the classroom.

Founded in 2016, The Big Red Group is an education firm based in India that builds, assists, and helps young high school students. Going beyond formal education, we provide transformative experiences that equip students with the 21st century skills necessary to succeed in college and beyond.

Our carefully curated workshops bring together the best minds from across the globe. Our eminent mentors hail from universities such as Harvard, MIT, Cornell, Oxford and Georgetown, as well as institutions such as Rajasthan Royals and Poetry in America. Our interdisciplinary workshops cover topics ranging from Entrepreneurship and Leadership to Literature and Robotics.

Our learning pedagogy aims to empower our students, giving them a safe space to voice their unique ideas and opinions. But even more importantly, our workshops never end on the final date; our students go on to join our extensive alumni community, with whom they get the opportunity to collaborate with and leave their own stamp on the future.
