Designing reforms that improve learning
- Kruti Bharucha

What does it take to design education reforms that actually work, especially at the scale of millions? And how do leaders stay focused when the system is crowded with competing priorities and complexity?

In this episode of the EdVance podcast, Kruti Bharucha, Founder and CEO of Peepul, shares why every effective intervention begins with clarity. She reflects on the simple discipline of knowing what you want to change, why it matters, and how to keep decisions anchored in the classroom.

From improving student engagement to working closely with government, Kruti shares what she has learnt about strengthening public education systems, supporting teachers, and building trust at scale. She also speaks about the challenges, the lessons, and the mindset needed to move a system forward.

This is an honest conversation for people who care about public education and understand that real change requires focus, patience, and clarity of purpose.
