About InvokED

A global dialogue on education leadership

Imagine a world where every child’s potential is realised, and leaders across communities, government, industry, and media come together to drive urgent, systemic change in education. InvokED is that unique space where diverse actors come together to catalyse collective action.

In the five editions so far, we have explored how education leadership is key to ensuring sustainable improvements in the education ecosystem and how Sarkaar (government), Samaaj (civil society), Bazaar (markets) and Sanchar(media) can enable collective action to build a movement towards education equity.

Innovation for Education Equity (I4EE)

Hackathon at InvokED 5.0

The I4EE Hackathon at InvokED 5.0 challenged participating teams to build open-source, technology-powered solutions that address real, urgent problems faced by teachers and education systems in India. Three teams stood out for solutions that went beyond prototypes: each demonstrated a working product, a grounded understanding of teacher needs, and a clear path to deployment.

Sahayak AI by Code Crushers is a coaching & monitoring platform that generates instant, localised playbooks as per classroom challenges

Chanakya by Mirage is a multilingual AI coaching engine combining a smart chatbot, lesson module generator, active listening mode, and personalised Q&A generator into a single platform.

Gurushikshan by The Byte Hub bridges the gap between teacher-reported classroom problems and structured professional development with a DIET administrator dashboard.
