"We are on target to reach more than 1 lakh students in the next 3-4
months. When a rocket is launched, everyone is curious as to the process.

Antony Navis Amarnath, Executive Director, Propel.study.
This platform is an extension of the work already being done by the STEM
curriculum based edutech company Propeller technologies. Propeller was
started in 2015 by two engineers fresh out of college, Aashik Rahman and
"We noticed that many edutech companies offer robotics courses, by just
giving kits. Children don't really explore or solve problems with that. We
(salman and me) did research, designed a curriculum, where we worked on
what a child is going to use in real life. We developed unique tools for
problem solving," says Aashik Rahman, Founder & CEO, Propeller
Technologies.
Aashik is the CEO, Salman is Co-founder & COO, Mubeen Rahman is CTO,
and Antony is the CODS.
They have worked with 350+ schools, and provided 3.5 lakh training
programs so far. Through them, children have worked on 93 research
projects. They have also created budding entrepreneurs, who have started
6 start-ups.
Propeller also created the Zafi robot, which was used during Covid in 2020
at Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital (MGMGH) to deliver
food and medicines to Covid patients. Several other hospitals and
organizations are using this robot today.
The Made in Tiruchy company employs about 30 people, all from Tiruchy.
