LeapForWord was started in 2006 by a group of management graduates who had entered the corporate world to fulfill their dreams, only to realize there is a larger world out there that probably doesn’t even know how to spell “DREAM”.

Knowing that an immediate positive change could happen only through the maximum leverage of our limited resources, we decided to concentrate on a single area that would yield optimum results with minimum effort. In today’s economy, English proficiency has become the biggest differentiator between the educated haves & have-nots.

Thus, a Mumbai-based registered non-profit organization dedicated to the sole purpose of enhancing the English language skills of children in under-served communities in India was born.

The genesis of our name ‘LeapForWord’ can be traced to this single-minded resolve.
