About LessonLeap

LessonLeap came out of a very ordinary parental worry. Anusha Mahalingam wanted better extracurricular learning for her daughters, so in 2020 she teamed up with Deepti Sahi to build a Mumbai-based platform offering live online courses in public speaking, writing and other skills for children from kindergarten through sixth grade. It focuses on the soft skills that school timetables tend to squeeze out, taught in small live batches rather than pre-recorded video.
