Our Story

We started as a Facebook group called Bangalore Schools in 2012. Over the last ten years, this group has become one of the largest and most active online communities on education and parenting with 66000+ members. We evolved to BSEI ( Bengaluru Schools Education Initiatives), which focused on outreach programs on education. We conducted 4 education expos with over 11000+ registrations and 125+ patrons. We also organized 75+ panel discussions on various topics on education. Our realization that education is an individualistic choice and one shoe does not fit all, led to the idea of EdDeeD. A search and discovery platform, based on parameter and relevance based searches, that will give the power of search back in your hands. Search for the right school, right tuition or activity for your child, or the right career for yourself. We will have all these and more under one platform. And remember, we are just starting !!
