Supernova was founded in 2021 by Anirudh, Nawin and Maharishi. Targeting children aged 4-12, the edtech company aims to redefine current passive forms of learning by making learning more engaging and fun.
Supernova creates live quizzes in interactive game formats on various CBSE topics for students from Grade 1 to Grade 8. Live quizzes, “Byte-Sized” lessons, and worksheets on CBSE topics are accessible on Supernova.
“Today’s children are born into a world of smartphones and highly engaging digital experiences, so they look for the same level of involvement in their learning experiences. As a result, education is undergoing a generational shift towards user-centricity,” said Maharishi RB, co-founder of Supernova.
Their live quizzes aim to cover topics through 30 minute interactive sessions.

“Traditional edtech models characterized by high customer acquisition costs, prohibitively expensive courses and poor learning outcomes are unsustainable,”
