What KaviRISE Technologies does

KaviRISE Technologies, operating as Urjeevi Labs with the flagship Urjeevi SPARK initiative, is an India-based early-stage education company founded in 2023 at SINE, IIT Bombay. The company delivers hands-on STEM learning to children in Grades 4-7 (ages 9-13) through weekly printed science mission kits shipped to families' doorsteps, supplemented by live mentorship sessions and a community platform (the SPARK Community, Wall of Fame, and Science Club). The curriculum is built on an inquiry-driven "Roots to Rockets" pedagogical framework, designed by IIT alumni, scientists, and educators, and aligned with India's NEP 2020 and NCF-FS standards. Activities use simple household materials to keep costs low and emphasize screen-lite, experiential learning.

The company monetizes through a direct-to-consumer subscription model with monthly, quarterly, and annual tiers, plus one-time bundle purchases. A secondary revenue stream targets schools and educators with curriculum-aligned classroom resources, and a third stream addresses CSR, NGO, and corporate partnerships for scalable inquiry-driven learning ecosystems. Discovery and acquisition rely heavily on WhatsApp (primary enrollment channel for the 2026 Cohort), YouTube (@UrjeeviSpark), Instagram, LinkedIn, and X/Twitter, supplemented by community-driven word-of-mouth via the SPARK Science Club and Wall of Fame recognition. Operations are domestic-only (India), headquartered in Maharashtra, with logistics outsourced to third-party courier partners for physical kit delivery.

The company originated from prior work in cleantech and AI/ML-enabled IoT systems before pivoting to STEM education. It has been bootstrapped apart from an Institute of Eminence (IOE) Grant from IIT Bombay in 2023, with cumulative reach of 5,000+ children and 20+ live sessions, and recognition including Boeing BUILD Top 4 (Maharashtra-Goa) and National-Level Finalist, Mahindra RISE Program selection, and DPIIT recognition. Founder and curator Dr. Kavita Kiran Prasad leads a team of scientists, educators, and IIT alumni.
