Anjali is the Research Manager for Learning Collider’s Education portfolio. Her journey to the education sector began as a Teach for India Fellow, where she developed a passion for driving meaningful impact. She then worked with organizations such as Mantra4Change and Global School Leaders, contributing to large-scale education and research initiatives across India and the Global South.

One of the pivotal projects in her career was her work on India’s national EdTech platform, Diksha, supporting the State Education Departments in implementing education policies across various states. This experience and her astute observations of the education challenges during the COVID pandemic underscored the transformative power of technology in education, motivating her to pursue a Master’s in Public Affairs focusing on the intersection of education and technology.

Most recently, Anjali worked at MIT’s Responsible AI and Social Empowerment and Education (RAISE) lab, supporting research projects focused on the safe and thoughtful integration of AI into classrooms. She also served as an EdTech Fellow with the International Education Funder’s Group, providing insights and supporting philanthropic organizations investing in EdTech initiatives.
