New educational era
While others upgraded curriculums, we reimagined the blueprint of learning itself: how the brain absorbs, how emotion drives, how curiosity sustains.
Now, we partner with visionary founders ready to build schools that think, feel, and adapt as fast as the world around them. Together, let’s shape a future where parents know their children are leading with compassion, adaptability, and mastery of mind.
Every major industry has evolved. Finance went digital, retail went global, and communication went instant. But education still runs on a design perfected in the 1800s: factory bells, fixed subjects, and standardised testing. Learners are moulded into one shape while the world outside changes faster than any textbook can keep up. We’re raising achievers, not whole humans. Behind the grades and medals lie anxiety, burnout, and a quiet loss of self-worth. Machines will soon outpace those trained only to memorise and perform. Parents see it too. They’re no longer asking which school can manage their child best, but which one awakens their true potential. The schools that will thrive in the next decade are the ones brave enough to evolve, now.

The Mind Behind Dreamtime —
Lina Ashar
“When a child learns the right way, they don’t just change their own future — they change the future of humanity and the planet.”
It began with a radical question in 1993, when Lina Ashar asked,
“Why must learning feel like stress when it could feel like wonder?”
That question sparked a revolution. Kangaroo Kids and Billabong High turned classrooms into places of joy, curiosity, and emotional connection.
Three decades of neuroscience, behavioural science, and psychology refined that vision into Dreamtime Learning, a system built on human consciousness.
Powered by Dreamtime Learning carries this model forward, installed under your brand, adapted to your context, and measured by transformation families can feel.
Join Lina Ashar’s next revolution in education, where science meets spirit, learning meets purpose, and schools become catalysts for a more conscious world.

How One Parent Sparked a Movement – A Note from Our Growth Steward
How One Parent Sparked a Movement – A Note from Our Growth Steward
Lina’s question in 1993 lit the spark for Dreamtime Learning, but it was parents like Ruchika who turned that spark into a movement. Inspired by Lina’s vision, she brought Kangaroo Kids to Delhi and reimagined how learning could feel for children and families.
Chandrika’s child attended Ruchika’s school, and then she, together with Ahmed, carried this philosophy to Hyderabad and opened Kangaroo Kids. Trust comes full circle, and Ahmed’s daughter now learns at our Dreamtime Learning Hub in Hyderabad.
Ruchika’s continued faith from franchisee to now an investor in Dreamtime Learning, echoed by other visionary investors like Nikhil Kamath, reflects a shared conviction that the future of learning begins here. Ruchika and Chandrika also now have Powered by Dreamtime schools.
Here’s to carrying this ripple forward together, as believers, builders, and torchbearers of a future where learning begins from the inside out.
