From space inspiration to green action — the after-school giant rolls out big initiatives for its milestone year

8 August 2025, New Delhi

India’s homegrown kids skill development giant, SIP Academy, has just crossed a major milestone — clocking 22 years of operations and expanding to over 1250 franchise centres across the country, making it one of the largest after-school learning networks in India.

The academy, which runs flagship programs like SIP Abacus, Globalart, MiKids, and CriCo English, marked the anniversary with a grand celebration at Grand Chennai by GRT Hotels. The event saw participation from top franchisees, alumni, educators, and partners — all part of a journey that has impacted over 14 lakh children across India.

Adding serious spark to the celebrations, SIP Academy announced three big initiatives that blend education, excitement, and environmental action:

1.National-Level Math Contest with an ISRO Rocket Launch as Grand Prize

The 10th edition of SIP’s flagship Arithmetic Genius Contest (AGC) isn’t just a competition — it’s a front-row seat to India’s future. National winners this year will be rewarded with the unforgettable experience of watching a live ISRO rocket launch at Sriharikota, bringing them face-to-face with India’s boldest achievements in science and space.

By giving children this direct exposure to India’s space frontier, SIP Academy is doing more than rewarding academic excellence — it is igniting imagination, fueling STEM dreams, and placing young Indians at the heart of the nation’s scientific aspirations.

2.Three New Miyawaki Forests to Turn Students into Eco-Champions

As conversations around climate change grow louder, SIP Academy is taking action by bringing nature into the heart of learning. To mark its 22nd year, the brand will plant three new Miyawaki forests in Kolkata, Thanjavur, and Sivakasi — dense, native green spaces created using the fast-growing Japanese technique.

3.New National TV Campaign to Spotlight India’s Brainpower

The new SIP Abacus television commercial, unveiled during the event, focuses on the real-life transformation of students to sharp, confident, and focused learners. With a nationwide roll-out, the campaign positions SIP Abacus as the go-to brand for parents seeking holistic development.

“In a world chasing shortcuts, we’ve stayed committed to building real skills, brick by brick, child by child. This milestone belongs to every student, teacher, franchisee, and parent who believed in our mission. Our next chapter is all about scaling impact — through innovation, sustainability, and a whole lot of heart,” said Mr. Dinesh Victor, Managing Director of SIP Academy

As it enters its 23rd year, SIP Academy is not just growing — it is reshaping the after-school learning ecosystem in India. With franchising success, social good, and scalable learning tools in its arsenal, the brand continues to prove that real education starts after the school bell rings.
