If you watch business case studies, podcasts, and documentaries on YouTube, then you might have sometimes watched a video from Think School. But do you know the person behind the channel?
Meet Ganeshprasad Sridharan, the co-founder and host of Think School, who has transformed education in India by building one of the country’s most popular business-focused YouTube channels.
Nowadays, Think School also make geopolitics content, but Ganesh started the channel to fix the gaps he found in the Indian education system and help young people learn practical skills for careers and business.
Ganesh’s journey began in Pune. After facing frustration with rote learning in his engineering college, he realised that most students were stuck doing memorisation, with little focus on useful skills. Dissatisfied, he set out to create an educational platform that would value critical thinking and real-life knowledge.
Partnering with Parsh Kothari, Ganesh launched Think School first as a classroom learning solution, but the pandemic forced him online.
On YouTube, Think School found a wider audience, especially among business students, entrepreneurs, and even professionals looking for simple but deep explanations of Indian business, success stories, and geopolitical analysis.
Ganesh’s view was simple: “If I’m going to take 10 minutes of someone’s time, I want those 10 minutes to be worth it.” This focus on quality made Think School stand out.
The channel became a hub for case studies, like Dhirubhai Ambani, Milky Mist, Old Monk, and Blinkit, using clear storytelling and easy language so viewers of all ages could understand business ideas and market trends.
Today, Think School has more than 4 million subscribers and has also started a Hindi channel (Think School Hindi by Zero1) in collaboration with Zerodha’s Zero1 media network.
Ganesh’s commitment brought him awards such as “Insightful Education Creator of the Year” and collaborations with leading educators and creators.
Ganesh Prasad’s success shows the power of combining purpose, storytelling, and practical skills. According to education features and interviews, Think School is trusted by students in top institutes, business leaders, and even professors for making tough subjects engaging and clear.
Think School continues to grow, offering online masterclasses and study materials, and inspiring learners to become confident speakers, leaders, and entrepreneurs. Ganesh’s story highlights that dedication and a clear mission can turn a small idea into something that changes lives across India.
