Nari Shakti Spotlight: Vedavalli Rangarajan – Empowering the Future Through Education and Technology

In a world that constantly seeks leaders who can balance empathy with innovation, Vedavalli Rangarajan stands out as a beacon of inspiration. A woman of determination, intellect, and heart, Vedavalli's journey from the boardrooms of corporate India to the classrooms of transformative education reflects the very essence of Nari Shakti—the power of a woman who leads with both vision and purpose.

Early Life Rooted in Values and Learning

Vedavalli’s formative years were steeped in the values of discipline, learning, and global exposure. A proud alumna of Rishi Valley School, founded by the legendary philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti, she was nurtured in an environment that celebrated curiosity, compassion, and holistic growth.

With a mother who was a teacher and a father who served as a chemical engineer across the Middle East and South Asia, Vedavalli grew up amidst both academic rigor and cultural diversity. These roots sowed the seeds of her passion for education and service early on.

From Engineering to Education – A Leap of Purpose

After completing her B.Tech from the prestigious RV College of Engineering, Vedavalli began her career in the tech industry, securing a campus placement with Dell India and later working at TCS Mumbai. However, something deeper called out to her—a desire to create meaningful impact beyond numbers and screens.

Guided by this inner calling, she chose to leave behind a promising corporate career to pursue her true passion: education. She completed her Diploma in Early Childhood Education and B.Ed, and began teaching in Navy Children Schools and Army Public Schools across India.

Her teaching journey not only brought her joy, but also revealed the pressing need for systemic change in how education is delivered—especially in remote or under-resourced areas.

Harnessing the Power of EdTech

A strong believer in the power of technology to remove barriers of time, space, and access, Vedavalli forayed into the EdTech sector, working with some of the most recognized platforms.

She played key leadership roles including:

• Curriculum Director at Byju’s

• Program Manager at 98thPercentile (a leading US-based EdTech company)

• Delivery Head at K12ActivityAcademy

These experiences gave her a panoramic view of global education trends, content design, learner psychology, and the critical role of educators in the digital age.

The Birth of Avinya Edutech Pvt. Ltd.

With years of insight and experience under her belt, Vedavalli launched Avinya Edutech Pvt. Ltd. — a venture aimed at empowering schools through skill development programs, not just for students but also for teachers, who are often overlooked in the edtech revolution.

“Empowering students begins with empowering teachers. If educators are confident, skilled, and supported, the ripple effect will transform generations,” she believes.

Avinya Edutech started with just two schools, growing solely through word-of-mouth and results. Today, it partners with seven institutions, including the reputed DAV group of schools, who have been instrumental in encouraging Avinya’s vision.

A Personal Life Anchored in Values Behind every strong woman is a supportive home. Vedavalli is married to Capt. Rangarajan, a respected officer in the Indian Navy. Their son, Krishay, is a bright young chess prodigy, representing at the national level in the under-11 category. Despite a demanding professional life, Vedavalli maintains a beautiful balance between her roles as an entrepreneur, mother, and mentor. Leading with Heart and Purpose What truly sets Vedavalli apart is her compassionate leadership. Her LinkedIn network, full of glowing recommendations, speaks of her empathetic approach, strategic thinking, and tireless dedication to innovation in education.
