Founded in 2019, Project Nomad is a collective initiative dedicated to documenting education across India using visual storytelling. Our mission is to highlight diverse educational practices and bring to light the stories of communities that often go unheard.

We are a community-driven, unstructured group of individuals from different backgrounds with a common goal of spreading stories and awareness about alternative and experimental education.

Founder's Note

Harshad Tathed, Founder, Project Nomad

When Project Nomad began in 2019, it started with a simple question: What if learning could look different?

Over the years, I have met countless individuals, educators, communities, and learners who have chosen to walk a path beyond conventional definitions of education. Their stories inspired the creation of Project Nomad, a community-driven, open platform where people from diverse backgrounds come together with a shared purpose: to explore, document, and celebrate alternative ways of learning and living.

One belief has always guided us:

"We learn more when we ask how to do it, instead of being told how not to do it."
– Harshad Tathed
Founder, Project Nomad
