What The Innovation Story does

The Innovation Story (TIS), legally Edunnovate Technologies Pvt. Ltd., is a Mumbai-headquartered ed-tech company founded in 2021 that delivers project-based STEM, robotics, and AI education to students aged 6-18 across India. The company operates a multi-product learning ecosystem built around three core pillars — TIS Foundations (skill-building courses across programming, electronics, 3D CAD, and robotics), TIS Nurturing Innovators (custom project-driven curricula), and TIS Compete (FTC, FRC, VEX, and WRO competition preparation) — extended through seasonal summer bootcamps, a National Robotics League franchise, an Educators program for school STEM labs, and a premium 2-week AI Fellowship Workshop held in Cambridge, MA, with mentorship drawn from MIT, Stanford, Harvard, IIT Bombay, and IIT Delhi. Technology delivery runs through BuildYourStory, a custom Moodle-based LMS hosting 50+ courses and integrating tools such as Arduino, Micro:bit, Python, Flutter, Unity, Onshape, SolidWorks, PictoBlox, TensorFlow, Keras, and Hugging Face.

TIS generates revenue from four streams: paid course fees across TIS Foundations, Nurturing Innovators, and TIS Compete programs priced INR 15,000 to INR 5,00,000 per enrollment (one-time licenses, plus monthly/semester subscriptions on the LMS); premium AI Fellowship seats at Cambridge priced at the top of the range with optional ancillary AI Essentials prep; professional services to schools, housing societies, and educators for customized STEM experiences, maker labs, and train-the-trainer contracts; and CSR/grant-funded social impact delivery through Amazon Future Engineer and partner NGOs reaching underserved students. Go-to-market combines community-led acquisition via 50+ partner schools and NGO channels with event-driven enrollment through bootcamps and competitions, supported by self-serve website and LMS registration in six Indian cities (Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, Pune, Ahmedabad) plus selective admission for the international Cambridge fellowship.

Direct peers

• Avishkaar: India-based STEM and robotics education company offering DIY kits, curriculum, and competitions (including FIRST-affiliated programs) for K-12 students. Direct comparable to TIS in target customer (K-12 India), product (STEM kits + curriculum), and competition-led GTM.
• STEMROBO Technologies: Indian STEM/robotics education provider delivering AI, coding, and robotics curriculum to schools and students across India. Closely comparable to TIS in offering mix (courses, school partnerships, robotics competitions) and customer base (Indian K-12).
• Robotix Learning Solutions: India-based STEM and robotics education company operating school programs, kits, and after-school courses for K-12 students. Directly comparable to TIS on robotics curriculum, school partnerships, and India-centric delivery.
• OBotz: Franchise-based AI, robotics, and coding education provider for K-12 students, primarily in India and the Middle East. Comparable to TIS in target audience, AI/robotics curriculum, and reliance on school and center-based delivery models.
• Young Tinker: India-based maker education and STEM learning platform providing hands-on curriculum, makerspaces, and educator training for K-12. Comparable to TIS in project-based learning emphasis, makerspace infrastructure, and educator partnerships.
• WhiteHat Jr: India-focused 1:1 coding and AI education platform for kids, now part of BYJU'S. Directly comparable to TIS in K-12 coding/AI focus and India GTM, though with a live-class model and far larger marketing budget.

Broad incumbents

• Tynker: Global self-serve coding education platform for K-12 with a broad library of coding, game development, and robotics courses. Comparable to TIS's coding and AI curriculum but operates at much larger global scale and serves schools and consumers worldwide.
• Code.org: Non-profit provider of free K-12 computer science curriculum and global advocacy for CS education. Thematically comparable to TIS's mission and AI/coding curriculum, and a potential distribution or content partner rather than direct paid competitor.
• Cuemath: India-focused K-12 math and coding EdTech platform with global reach. Adjacent comparable to TIS in K-12 India customer, online+offline delivery model, and premium pricing; less direct in robotics and competition focus.

Others

• FIRST Inspires: Global organizer of FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC, FTC, FLL) used by TIS teams and the AI Fellowship ecosystem. Not a competitor; rather an ecosystem enabler whose competition framework underpins a significant share of TIS's TIS Compete revenue.
