A small academy that teaches three things and measures all of them.

Why we started

Most children who join us are not weak at maths. They are quick in class and slow at home, because nothing brings them back to the work between one class and the next. Worksheets get forgotten by the third week, and the parent turns into the reminder.

So we built the two halves together. A live class where a teacher watches your child work on the abacus and corrects the finger movement on camera, and a practice app your child opens on their own because there is a dragon in it that only grows when they practise.

The app was not built to replace the teacher. It exists so the teacher is not the only reason your child practises.

Ten minutes a day beats one hour on Sunday

Mental arithmetic is built by repetition that is short enough to survive a school week. The app keeps the daily set small on purpose.

One familiar teacher, not a big faculty

At this age a child works harder for a teacher who remembers what they got wrong last week. Batches keep the same teacher for the whole level.

Progress you can check, not opinions

Every report carries practice minutes, accuracy, average speed and attendance. If the numbers are flat, we say so and change the plan.

Before that

College maths lecturer

Based in

Pune, Maharashtra

A physics degree, then a postgraduate degree in Environmental Science from Pune University (2008). Diploma as an Early Childhood Education specialist. Certified in Abacus and Vedic Maths.

I did not set out to do this. I finished a physics degree, took a corporate job at Eaton India, and stayed there until it was obvious to me that I would rather be explaining something to somebody all day.

So I went and taught maths at Varka College in Ahilyanagar. Two things happened in those couple of years. I loved the work, and I kept meeting eighteen year olds who were still counting on their fingers. What was missing was not anything I could fix in a lecture hall. It was something they were supposed to have picked up at six.

So I went back to where it starts. I took a diploma as an Early Childhood Education specialist, and then I did the part people usually skip: I joined a preschool and taught three to six year olds for four years, because reading about how a small child learns and sitting next to one are not the same thing.

Then I got certified in Abacus and Vedic Maths and taught at a franchise institute, which is where I found out which parts of the standard method children actually respond to and which parts they only put up with. I kept what worked, rebuilt the rest, and started BrainoMate.

I still take classes myself, and I train every teacher who takes one.

Physics first, and a job she left

A physics degree and a corporate role at Eaton India. Steady work, and not the work she wanted, so she went looking for a classroom instead.

Teaching maths at Varka College, Ahilyanagar

A couple of years with college students, and the last teaching job she took with adults.

Back to the beginning, deliberately

If the gap opens in the early years, that is where the work belongs. She qualified as an Early Childhood Education specialist instead of staying in the lecture hall.

Four years with three to six year olds

Smart Kidz preschool, 2017 to 2021. Phonics, early numeracy and play-based sessions, taken so the diploma was tested on real children rather than left as theory.

Certified, then put to the test

Certification in Abacus and Vedic Maths, and from 2020 teaching at a franchise abacus institute. Running somebody else's syllabus with real batches, before writing one of her own.

Founded BrainoMate in 2024

The level plans are hers. So is the practice app, which exists because the method has to hold up on the five days a week she is not on the call.

BrainoMate is an online skill academy for children aged 6 to 14. It teaches Abacus, Vedic Maths and Handwriting through two live classes a week on Google Meet, with daily practice in the BrainoMate app between classes.

Trained abacus and Vedic Maths teachers, including early childhood education specialists, take the classes in small batches. Each batch keeps the same teacher for the whole level, so the teacher knows where every child got stuck last week.

BrainoMate was founded in 2024 by Lalita Ghawate, who is its founder and CEO and is known to most BrainoMate parents as Asmita. She has a physics degree and a postgraduate degree in Environmental Science from Pune University, and worked in a corporate role at Eaton India before moving into teaching. She taught maths at Varka College in Ahilyanagar, then qualified as an Early Childhood Education specialist and spent four years teaching at Smart Kidz preschool from 2017. She was certified in Abacus and Vedic Maths and taught at a franchise abacus institute from 2020 before starting BrainoMate. She still takes classes herself and trains every teacher who takes a BrainoMate batch.

No. BrainoMate teaches skills, not the school syllabus. Abacus and Vedic Maths build calculation speed and attention, and Handwriting fixes grip, letter shape and spacing. These support school work but do not replace tuition.

Classes are online. Children join from all over India, and from countries where the day overlaps with Indian time, including the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Vietnam and Australia. Classes are in English, and teachers explain in Hindi and Marathi.
