Message from the Founder

Vivaan Kumar is a student of Delhi Public School, Sushant Lok, and the founder of Pento. What began as late-evening tinkering in his school's Atal Tinkering Lab grew — over many weeks on campus — into a full learning community for students, teachers and parents. Pento was initiated, prepared and launched from the DPS Sushant Lok campus itself, shaped by real classrooms, real students and honest feedback from the people who would end up using it.

None of it would exist without the people who backed the idea from day one. Mr. Piyush Kumar, the ATL Teacher at DPS Sushant Lok and Innovation Engineer at STEMRobo, mentored the project from the very first prototype — giving lab time, pedagogical guidance, and the kind of patient, day-after-day support that turns an idea into a product. His belief in student-led building is stitched into every part of Pento.

Vivaan is a strong subscriber to the belief that learning must feel like a community — not a subscription. Education, in his view, must be flexible, curious and generous, meeting every learner where they are and inviting them one step further. Pento exists to make that easier: to give students structure, to give teachers time back, and to give parents a genuine window into their child's growth.

Beyond academics, Pento fosters exploration, discovery, and innovation, and blends pedagogy with the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence to help every learner move forward today. We nurture learners into confident, curious individuals with well-rounded personalities — respectful of their roots and ready for a global world. We let every learner discover their uniqueness so that they rise and shine — and let us all rise with them.

Mr. Vivaan Kumar
