CEO @ IE Skool, Co-founder of Infinite Engineers, specializing in curriculum design and educational research | View Profile
Harish Srinivasan is an engineer turned education entrepreneur who believes that meaningful learning begins with curiosity and grows through experience.
Through Infinite Engineers and its school education vertical, IE Skool, he works with a team committed to helping children become confident creators and problem-solvers.
Over the past 12+ years, the team has worked with 250+ schools, supported 200+ Atal Tinkering Labs, and set up 110+ labs. Their work spans STEM and AI labs, teacher development, and Dexter Box—curriculum-aligned science kits that bring hands-on learning into everyday classrooms. In the last academic year alone, Dexter Box reached 15,800 students.
These collective experiences continue to shape Harish’s understanding of how children learn and the support teachers need to make learning meaningful.
As a facilitator, he creates space for participants to explore, experiment, reflect, and question assumptions. His workshops invite people to learn by doing and connect new ideas with their own experiences.
His interests include alternative education, project-based learning, and curriculum design. At the heart of his work is a simple aspiration: to build a world fit for children by rethinking how we teach and the environments we create for them.
