Gyankriti, is a chain of preschools operating 6 branches in Indore and Dhar District, India, since 2013. The organization is founded and managed by two IIT Bombay alumni Akshay Gupta and Yograj Patel right after they opted-out of placements.
The name is self-explanatory, it is a confluence of knowledge (gyan) and creation (kriti). The logo symbolizes it with a half brush representing creativity and half pen representing logic. This also forms the basis of their registered tagline "Where logic meets creativ!ty"
