THE HARVEST
Namaste! Over the years, KnowYourStar has evolved very quickly, but very surely. You’ve been updated about it every week, but at times it’s good to give the big picture in one take instead of playing a game of connect the dots, right? đ So we […]
I have a friend and mentor (let’s call him Mr. ABC) who runs a social enterprise with close to three digit employees and India-wide presence. They have touched millions of life and transacted crores of rupees for over double digit years now! In my recent […]
Namaste! The past two weeks have been a very exciting and enriching experience for us! Our co-founder, Jaideep, represented KnowYourStar at TFIx 2018 Cohort, which was hosted at Flame University in Pune by Teach For India.  We are proud to announce that we are one […]
I have known Smita Vats for a couple of years now and every time I meet her she has an interesting story to share. Right from why South and North-Indian style of writing differ to why Wuzu is performed in a certain manner. She is […]

Harshita, one of our beloved volunteers, shares her Volunesia experience! Bangalore was in a good mood that day. The weather was at its best; gloomy but blissful. I was on my way to meet the little wonders at Brindavan Tent School after quite a long […]

Namaste! The onset of hot summers have been not-so-gently reminding us that the new academic year is fast approaching, and we have so many butterflies in our stomachs! All the projects we took up last year seemed like Herculean Tasks when they were ideated, especially […]
