What LifeSkillsBharat does

LifeSkillsBharat is an India-based EdTech company, founded in 2023 and headquartered in Bangalore, that operates SpeakChamp — described as India's first AI-powered Speaking Olympiad for school students in Grades 3 to 12. The platform delivers a 3-round online interschool competition evaluating listening, reasoning and comprehension, speaking, and writing skills, using Generative AI both for skill assessment (an "AI Judge") and for online proctoring. Each round carries a tiered per-student fee (₹99, ₹199, ₹299), with cash prizes of ₹15,000, ₹10,000, and ₹7,500 for the top three finalists; certificates and medals are awarded across rounds.

The company generates revenue primarily through these competition enrollment fees and through school training partnerships, with 20% of partnership fees reinvested into Public Speaking clubs at partner schools. Its go-to-market is B2B2C: schools are recruited as channel partners (six are named publicly — GD Birla, DPS Megacity, Adamas International, Vivekananda Mission, Modern High, and M.P. Birla), giving the company access to student bodies without direct consumer acquisition. A complementary free product, Career Clarity Sessions, pairs students with industry experts from Google, Microsoft, Meta, Flipkart, Zomato, Netflix, Disney, and Amazon Prime for 60-minute personalized guidance.

LifeSkillsBharat claims to have reached 50,000+ students, generated interest from 1,200+ schools, and achieved a footprint across 28 Indian states and union territories. The competition officially launched in September 2025. The company appears bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional funding, operates with a team of 18, and has no disclosed revenue figures, senior AI hires, patents, or third-party validation of its AI assessment accuracy.
