About Learner Circle
Learner Circle is a Chennai edtech platform that Anuradha Venkatachalam Shankar co-founded in 2020 to teach children the skills schools tend to skip. It runs live online courses in areas like public speaking, coding and creative skills, delivered in small interactive batches rather than one-way video. She built it alongside her husband and a colleague, aiming at parents who want structured extracurricular learning without shuttling their kids across the city.
