“Every role I play teacher, mother, founder is bound by one mission: to empower others. I
believe learning is an ongoing process, parenthood is the purest kind of leadership, and building is
about leaving a legacy to the world. My journey is not flawless, but it is real and one of
constant growth, empathy, and courage.”

The Beginning
The Teacher Who Dreamed Big
Before she was called a founder, she was simply called “Ma’am.”
Divya Gokulnath began her journey in a small classroom, not as an entrepreneur but as an educator who believed that curiosity could be a superpower. Her lessons were simple: learning should never feel like pressure; it should feel like play.
In a country where education often meant memorisation, Divya brought meaning back to the classroom.
The Builder
From Classroom To “Smart Phone”
What began with a few students and a whiteboard grew into BYJU’S, a learning revolution that reached more than 250 million learners across 120 countries.
Divya’s vision was clear: to make quality learning accessible, engaging, and empowering, no matter where a child lives. As entrepreneur of BYJU’S, she built more than a company; she built a bridge between technology and human potential.
Her work continues to evolve, from Education for All, which has given millions of underprivileged children free access to learning, to AI-driven tools that make education smarter and more inclusive.
The Believer
Leadership With Heart
Leadership, for Divya, has never been about titles. It is about showing up with strength when things fall apart and with softness when people need it most.
In boardrooms and classrooms alike, she leads with the same conviction: resilience is built in chaos, not comfort.
As a mother of three and a co-founder, her days move between Lego towers and strategy calls, but her compass remains steady. She believes that empathy is not a weakness in leadership; it is the foundation of it.
