After several months of teaching and seeing growth in his initial students, Aadit visited Rishi World school to introduce the program to more students. He shared what he had been doing in class and explained how students could benefit from joining. He answered their questions, listened to their ideas, and tried to show them that learning could be exciting and meaningful. About twenty students decided to join, and seeing their enthusiasm made him realize the program could grow beyond what it was, inspiring him to build a network of teachers around the world supporting even more students. This eventually grew into what is now Aadit Verma's Classes.
