Our Team
Built by educators, designers, and dreamers. Each founder brings a unique lens to how curiosity becomes action.
Hritu Saha
Women in STEM Ambassador, creative educator, and storyteller shaping product vision, community, and brand.
Entrepreneurship Story
Entrepreneurship has always been part of my life.
I designed and sold books on Amazon KDP, ran a tutoring agency, helped my dad run his Gumtree side hustle, explored content creation through creative projects, and even worked in a legal startup.
Each venture, big or small, taught me how to spot opportunities, build community, and solve problems creatively. These experiences are what fuel my work today with curiosiBEE.
To me, education is power. My parents always taught me that education brings freedom; freedom to grow, to change one’s life, and to contribute meaningfully to society. Education uplifts economies, opens career opportunities, and empowers those in difficult situations to rewrite their futures. I went to a regular public school and succeeded relying on hard work, resilience, and curiosity. That experience shapes my vision: I want education to be accessible to everyone, especially minority and underrepresented groups. Knowledge should never be a luxury, it should be a right.
With curiosiBEE, I want to build more than just another EdTech tool. I want it to:
- Empower students by making them feel confident, motivated, and excited to learn.
- Nurture curiosity and passion, the heart of lifelong learning.
- Be a humanised platform; not only about study content, but also about life skills, personal growth, and strong learning habits.
- Create a space where students feel supported, celebrated, and inspired, just as much as teachers feel empowered to engage them.
My dream is that curiosiBEE becomes a platform people are genuinely excited to use, a place where education is reimagined as joyful, powerful, and deeply human.
Saswat Pati
Founder of a tutoring network serving 3,000+ students; business strategy & GTM.
Entrepreneurship Story
Hey there! I’m Saswat and I’m a robotics/mechatronics engineer at UNSW who just happens to have immense entrepreneurial sprit.
Ever since I was in school, I’ve always had strong interest for starting side hustles from reselling shoes, to starting off that drop-shipping gig we’ve all probably have started before 😆.
Currently I’m learning lot more about business and investing. I’m currently building a tutoring agency in Canberra, and have helped more than 20 students.
As I continue my pursuits in tutoring and education, I’ve seen firsthand through personal experiences and from my students, of the current issues in the Aussie education.
So what’s better than creating curiosiBEE with my 3 other amazing co-founders to combine our passion in helping the future of Aussie education.
Unlike the fluff in other edtech startups, we aim to make a true difference to education in Australia. Stay tuned, exciting stuff is to come!
Cing Hoih
Neuroscience researcher & UNICEF collaborator shaping child-safe digital policy.
Entrepreneurship Story
Hey everyone, I'm Cing and I am studying Neuroscience and Computing.
If you check out my embarrassing GitHub bio from 2020/2021, I actually wrote that I was conflicted between doing something in the medical field, tech, or heading the entrepreneurial route. I am kind of doing all three things right now, so that is rather exciting!
I'm very passionate about education because I am both an educator and a student. As a student, I always yap about how the education system sucks, how some teachers suck, and how educational policies suck. As an educator, I am mindful of the issues in education but feel a bit stuck that I can't do much about it and just have to focus on teaching. As an entrepreneur, I am excited about EdTech innovation.
I am excited about how my team and I are going to build curiosiBEE. We changed our ideas a couple of times, and won't be surprised if we change some more. But one thing is certain: I hope we can disrupt traditional education.
Kevin Wang
PhD in AI, university lecturer, and technical architect building scalable AR learning.
Entrepreneurship Story
My name is Kevin Wang. I am a PhD student in Engineering at Swinburne University and a sessional lecturer at Victoria University, specializing in AI-driven applications, web, and mobile development.
I founded Ask Smart (https://asksmart.com.au/en/), providing software development services across e-commerce, logistics, workforce management, social networking, and EdTech. I focus on transforming ideas into real products, combining technical expertise with practical business solutions.
I believe education is the foundation of innovation and long-term social impact. With my combined academic and entrepreneurial background, I see EdTech as the perfect bridge to empower learners and create scalable, impactful solutions.
I hope to see curiosiBEE evolve into a platform that inspires students through personalized learning and gamified motivation, making education both effective and enjoyable.
