Rangeet, an Indian social enterprise working to equip children with the human skills essential to thrive, promoting student-to-student interaction in the classroom, concluded a week of high-impact participation at Davos 2026. Rangeet contributed on-ground education insights to global conversations shaping the future of learning.
Rangeet’s leadership team engaged in panel discussions, closed-door roundtables, and collaborative conversations with organisations such as Human Change, Global Citizen, American Psychological Association (APA), Center for Humane Technology and Brookings Institution alongside global policymakers, educators and researchers. The discussions centred around some of the most pressing issues facing education today: smartphone use in childhood, responsible technology in classrooms, and the need to keep learning systems deeply human.
Speakers at the Human Change House, founded by global business and social impact leader Margarita Louis Dreyfus, focused on the trends and impact of technology over the last decade; social media divided us, and now, artificial intelligence is beginning to replace us, eroding social and family bonds. Rangeet’s presence at Davos showcased a practical and grounded perspective, drawn from real classrooms in India, Bangladesh and Nigeria, including large public-school systems such as Mumbai’s Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) schools, where Rangeet’s Social Emotional & Ecological Knowledge (SEEK)© curriculum is already being taught.
Indian Insights, Global Conversations
Simran Mulchandani, CEO & Co-Founder, Rangeet, spoke at the session “The Detox Crusade; How Parents, Young People, and Community Advocates Are Promoting Screen-Free Childhood,” contributing insights from real, on-ground experiences, protecting children from unlimited digital exposure while preparing them with skills they need for the future. “Injecting human-to-human interaction in classrooms is critical. We must not lose the qualities that make us human: empathy, resilience and creativity,” Simran concluded at the panel.
Anir Chowdhury, Head – Teacher Community & Tech, Rangeet, spoke at the session “Tech as a Tool, Not the Teacher; Putting Humanity Back in the Classroom,” where discussions focused on how education systems can harness technology without compromising compassion, critical thinking and human connection. He reminded the audience about the purpose of school as a social learning ecosystem where human bonds matter; the purpose of the teacher as a facilitator of that learning with the student as an agent of change using that learning to solve societal problems. Concluding, he said, “AI can contribute to the learning process without replacing human creativity, agency and responsibility.”
Across sessions, Rangeet’s voice stood out for bridging global theory with on-ground practice and evidence of impact, showing how concepts like digital responsibility, social-emotional learning, and ecological awareness are being translated into everyday learning experiences for children.
Beyond the Panels
In addition to formal sessions, Rangeet participated in a series of informal and closed-door conversations that often shape long-term collaborations and policy thinking at Davos.
Reflecting on the experience, Simran Mulchandani, CEO & Co-Founder, Rangeet, said,
“Being at the World Economic Forum, and particularly at Human Change House, was a privilege and provided great validation for the work we are doing at Rangeet. What stood out was how strongly global conversations around education are focussing on experiential learning, wellbeing, digital citizenship and humanity. India has a vital role to play, not just as a market for education solutions considering the 250 millions students here, but as a breeding ground for real learning solutions built on deep conversations with all stakeholders: parents, teachers, policy makers and children.”
India’s Education Story on a Global Platform
Rangeet’s participation at Davos 2026 reinforces the growing presence of Indian organisations on the global stage, those that are not only scaling solutions at home, but also contributing thoughtfully to international discourse. The conversations at Davos echoed what Rangeet has long believed: that the future of education must balance technology with what it means to be human.
