Shrinik Mahendra — Partnerships Manager

Most EdTech and education programs struggle after the partnership is signed. Not because the product lacks value — but because the program never integrates into how schools actually operate. I specialise in institutional partnerships and adoption frameworks that help education programs become part of the school ecosystem, rather than remaining external add-ons. Over the past 17+ years working across school partnerships and education programs, I’ve focused on helping organisations move from contracts to real institutional adoption and long-term renewals. My work typically involves: • Mapping decision makers and influencers across school management, principals, academic leadership, teachers, and parent communities • Designing operational integration so programs align with academic calendars, facilities, and teaching workflows • Activating multiple stakeholders through structured engagement models and workshops • Tracking institutional engagement metrics that influence renewal decisions Currently, as State Head – Tamil Nadu at Beyond Mentor, I lead institutional partnerships to establish career counselling labs within schools, integrating structured career guidance into the academic ecosystem. I also advise education organisations and EdTech companies on: • Institutional partnership strategy • School ecosystem go-to-market frameworks • Implementation and adoption models for education programs • Stakeholder engagement systems across school communities My core belief: Institutional revenue in education is driven by operational adoption — not just contracts. If you're building education programs for schools and want to improve institutional engagement, implementation, and renewals, I’m always open to connecting and exchanging ideas.
