Hindi USA

What Hindi USA does

HindiUSA is a non-profit volunteer organization founded in 2001 in Edison, New Jersey, that provides structured Hindi language and Indian cultural education to children of Indian origin living in the United States. Its core product is a proprietary 9-level curriculum (S1-A2) covering ages 5-16, delivered through 29 affiliated schools across 10 U.S. states plus a global Online Hindi School. Supporting products include the self-published Karmbhoomi and Indradhanush annual Hindi magazines, and the annual Hindi Mahotsav cultural event. The curriculum is supported by a Learning Management System for student registration, profile management, and vocabulary flashcards.

The organization holds Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) Supplementary Education Program accreditation valid through June 30, 2029 — a distinction shared by only a very select group of Hindi-language supplementary schools in the U.S. — enabling students at many partner schools to earn high school foreign language credits. Teaching is delivered by a volunteer teacher base of more than 350 individuals, coordinated by approximately 40 branch coordinators across the network.

HindiUSA's revenue model is multi-stream: (1) annual student tuition ranging from $35 (St. Louis local fee) to $260 (Edison), with early-bird and sibling discounts; (2) website banner advertising (Gold $1,000/year, Silver $500/6 months, Bronze $250/3 months); and (3) event booth rentals at Hindi Mahotsav at $200 per table. Go-to-market is community-led via word-of-mouth within Indian-American communities and direct-to-consumer registration through the HindiUSA website. The organization has grown from 2 students in 2001 to over 4,000 students across 29 branches, with 685+ cumulative graduates since program inception.
