Chennai, India – September 11, 2025 – Chrysalis, a pioneering educational research organisation with over 20 years of expertise in pedagogy, learning design, and classroom innovation, today launched Chrysalis AI, a next-generation AI-powered Co-Thinker designed to empower schools, teachers, students, and parents. The launch event, themed “From Corrections to Connections,” highlighted the urgent need for schools to shift from traditional performance tracking to holistic, personalised learning journeys that truly understand each child’s potential.

Founded in 2001 by Chitra Ravi, Chrysalis has collaborated with over 2,000 schools in India and expanded its footprint to eight countries, including Singapore and several African nations. Its vision—to awaken the human potential in every child—now takes a transformative leap with Chrysalis AI, which translates classroom data into actionable insights, enabling teachers to personalise learning, support student growth, and strengthen home-school relationships.

“Assessments are often reduced to report cards, missing the richness of a child’s learning journey. Chrysalis AI goes beyond numbers to uncover misconceptions, thought processes, and emotional growth. It empowers teachers and parents to see each child as a whole learner, capable of growth in cognitive, social, and meta-cognitive dimensions, our goal is not to replace teachers but to amplify their impact. With research, AI-driven insights, and a community of educators, we are committed to building a future where learning is personalised, meaningful, and accessible to every child.” said Chitra Ravi, Founder & CEO of Chrysalis, during the launch event.

India’s education sector is one of the largest and fastest growing in the world. With over 1.5 million schools, approximately 260 million students enrolled from Class 1 to 12, and nearly 25 million students graduating annually, the system faces the dual challenge of scale and diversity. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), along with state boards, serves a significant portion of this population, with CBSE-affiliated schools numbering over 28,000 nationwide.

The Indian education industry is projected to reach USD 225 billion by 2025, driven by digital learning, infrastructure development, and pedagogical reforms. However, access, quality, and personalised learning remain key concerns, especially in government and affordable private schools serving underprivileged communities.

Against this backdrop, Chrysalis AI offers a scalable, empathetic, and research-backed solution to bridge learning gaps, improve academic outcomes, and promote inclusive education.

AI Literacy for All – Introducing AI Samarth
