We believe that our education should have been focused on developing creativity and productivity in all students as per their preferences and capabilities, and must not be forcing the students to mug up purposeless stuffs to gather certificates.

Surely a very few percentage of these people, who get this formal education for years, and then they become Govt employees or secure some other limited good jobs with the help of these certificates and their merits also. But most of the people are left back with bundles of certificates and no skills, creativity or any entrepreneurial spirit! Some survive by quickly adopting some skills in management, design, or coding but all are not so lucky. A big number of them keep doing unorganised businesses or  jobs where they are dispensable. Robotics and AI were real thing by then, but not so  prominently visible and very identifiable as it is a threat to human workforce around us, like today. 

When the computer came into the workforce, back in 80’s, everyone was worried about potential job lost, and yet it has been creating more opportunity for us ever since. To master the upcoming era with Robotics and AI we must start adopting relevant skills, creativity and various problem solving capacity in all aspects of life. Sustainable livelihood is yet another way, so you can ditch all this pain and chill till eternity, but that’s another story.

As the problem was already identified in all stages by others also, various initiatives were being taken by some of the greatest educators and masterminds across the India and World. Khan Academy had already paved the way by then, Arvind Gupta ji’s work with educational videos was also a great source of inspiration for us. Manish Jain is also exploring new dimension in hands on science! We actually imagined back in 2012 that someday sooner; education would be more productive, free, accessible and based over internet, and we should be a part of the game. But never imagined a global pandemic will bring us in a situation where the students, teachers and education system would get into it with so less preparation, all of a sudden.

Creativity and real skills in every sector will be the key way to survive in forth coming days, all the repetitive desk jobs will be replaced by AI, now or tomorrow. It takes lots of patience, wide field for trials and errors, creative and productive teachers with inspiring spirits to cultivate it among the students. Being in a private school it was impossible to invest time and patience for children as it is a business at the end of the day. So the founders gave up school jobs and started making educational videos for our YouTube channel (rosehubTV) so they could share some part of the skill and information we have, for free and make it accessible for everyone. We also started doing ‘scientific curiosity’ and ‘creativity’- boosting workshops at schools to reach more students and make our early revenue. 

Over time we learn and fine tune the skill of visual storytelling in convenient ways with very limited resources. YouTube was still in its early stage in India, Internet was expensive and very limited. But we believed that informative videos are the best way to pass on any information effectively. Eventually some of our videos got recognised on YouTube Platform and we got noticed by the organiser of Start-Up fest from IIT(BHU), Varanasi back in 2016, and got the chance to get incubation at MCIIE, IIT(BHU) in Varanasi. Under the kind mentorship and guidance of Prof. Pradeep Kumar Mishra and Prof Pradeep Kumar Shrivastava we started our journey to shape our idea into a business.

But we also believe that the education need not to have much business involve in it. At least the end user; say it the learner or a participant of a workshop need not to be asked for money just before they want to learn anything. In some way, our YouTube channel was solving some purpose but was earning a little. Though we have done and keep doing paid workshops with school children to university educators; we distinctively noticed that the workshop participants get most benefited when the workshop is funded by the institute or some other party. In short  we were trying to find way to create and broadcast entertaining educational material which would be free for end user and we also have sufficient funds to keep working on it.

Focusing the goal; we have found opportunities to keep creating beautiful and informative documentaries and video series for various clients, investors, funders and ourselves. 

Namely; ‘Departments of IIT (BHU)’ which is a video series, funded by ‘Project Varanasi’- that explore the history, the courses and facilities it offers. It also share various other informations about all the departments from this esteemed Institution. In the other hand;- ‘Institute Lecture Series’ is one of the most educational lecture series where we have documented extraordinary lectures on behalf of IIT (BHU). ‘GAP-SAP Series’ is one of our most wonderful collection of interviews that explore some of the most influential educators and elevated personalities we managed to encounter in last 5 years. It was a memorable opportunity given by Up Tourism to be able to creates an unique set of 8 walking maps for the guests of Pravasi Bhartiya Diwas. ‘Varanasi Videos Series are some of many video series are now available on YouTube.

While we are keep making videos and contents for some of the top PSUs around, that includes NCL & MCL of Coal INDIA, UP Tourism, MSME, NABARD and many more; our goal, towards keep creating and sharing more entertaining educational content, is about to get bigger and better! 

We are currently working on a Community Radio Development project with NCL which could be an effective media to keep the education and public communication alive during this global pandemic around the distinct  region of Singrauli Madhya Pradesh. We are working on an independently managed Science Centre with ‘hands on workshop’ and Museum development in Singrauli. We are also planning to actively work with communities through our upcoming projects of tourism and sustainable rural development in order to create sustainable livelihood development. And yes, if we can put together all pieces  nicely; most of the end user may not need to pay to be benefited from all these! In all that we do we are looking forward to meeting more amazing lives.

We are truly grateful to the people who have been with us in this journey for all these time. Thanks to everyone whom we have met over the journey; especially those people who showed faith in us in our initial days. I take great pride in stating that Rosehub has completed its journey of 5 years and in this journey we’ve added a few amazing gems of people who have guided, served and believed in us and our services at different points of time and continue to do so.
