Why We Exist

We started GroBro because we believe that reading changes everything. A single book can ignite imagination, build empathy, and unlock a child’s future. But today, far too many children grow up without meaningful access to books, the confidence to read them, or the guidance to make sense of what they read.

Why We Exist

The Problem We’re Solving

According to the ASER Report, more
than 70% of children in Grade 5 across India
are unable to read even a Grade 2 level text.

More than half of children aged
6–17 read fewer than one book per month outside school textbooks, reveals a study by Scholastic India.

Since 2020, urban children in India
spend double the time on screens,
leaving much less time for reading,
thinking, and offline learning activities.

Although digital content is widely available,
curated and level-appropriate reading material is still limited for first-generation or
multilingual learners across India.

This is not just a literacy gap. It’s a confidence gap. A comprehension gap. A creativity gap. And it's growing every year.

Our Larger Vision: Education, The Holistic Way

Building Foundational Skills That AI Cannot Replace

At GroBro, our mission extends beyond reading alone. We aim to develop every learner into a confident, expressive, and well-rounded communicator.

Our approach nurtures all five pillars of education:

Reading

Listening

Speaking

Writing

Viewing

The foundation of true learning lies in five essential skills that also strengthens the ability to think critically, express clearly, and understand deeply.

Among them, reading stands at the core. It opens doors to knowledge, fuels imagination, and builds comprehension that supports every other skill. By nurturing strong reading habits, learners develop the confidence and curiosity needed to grow in all areas of life.

These timeless abilities go beyond technology. They are the human strengths that shape character, inspire creativity, and ensure learning lasts a lifetime.

The Transformative Power of Reading

Improves cognitive
development and memory
Strengthens vocabulary and communication
Builds empathy and emotional intelligence
Boosts academic
performance across subjects

But beyond all that, reading gives children a quiet place to dream, explore, and grow. It gives them a voice.
