Maatraa began with Alakta and her friend Lata Rao. And a strong friendship with a common goal to do something for the youth and women, turned the dream into a reality with Maatraa.
While working with my children during their formative school years, I realised that they mastered the art of learning. They took their struggles in their stride, and put in their very best.
My kids grew up feeling the satisfaction of diligent input while not worrying about the outcome on paper. The methodology turned out to be a success. To be able to put this in the Maatraa methodology was immensely gratifying.
At Maatraa, we believe that language is a muscle. The more one practices and uses it, the stronger it will get. Maatraa has been specially designed for the bilingual Indian audience with content specially created by Indian experts.
The course makes it very easy to recognise common mistakes and correct them. Short and focussed videos in the learning process at Maatraa have been greatly appreciated by students, teachers and HR departments. The opportunity for rigorous practice of the learning on the platform itself, ensures better and improved language skills.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
