who has attended these Certified 4 day Boot
Camps shared, “I was not a fan of Cricket and I
love Math, but once I enrolled in the program, I
got to know about the game, and for me, it was
taking some calculative permutations to work

Captain. Going forward I may not play the
physical game, but I am a fan now because the
game is a lot of fun when I hear Ajit talk about it!”

Each month, Cricket-Math™ hosts e Boot Camps,
that are 4 certified flexible-timed gaming
sessions where students ‘solve’ problems and
‘play’ the game. Shradha Nair, a parent keen to
enrol her boys in Grade 4 and 8 in the June Boot
Camp mentioned, “I have grown up watching Ajit
as a kid so for me personally, it was kind of a fan
moment, and my boys are semi interested in the
game, but after watching the videos, they are
super excited because the format is different,
and they like that someone will mentor them
and that they can connect with a child who is in
another part of the country!”
