‼️Untold Story of Viral Maths Teacher | Pikun Lenka |

In this Telugu podcast of Backbenching with Vivek, we sit down with Pikun Lenka, the viral maths teacher and founder of ‪@learnfromlenka‬ to understand how he's transforming the way India learns math and science through real-life examples.

An NIT Bhopal graduate and former senior faculty at Aakash Institute, Pikun has trained hundreds of teachers and reached millions of students through his unique educational content. With over a decade of teaching experience, he breaks down how traditional coaching systems fail, why emotional connection matters in teaching, and how India’s obsession with JEE can negatively affect students mental health and career choices.

In this episode, we cover:
Why he quit Aakash Institute despite a stable career
What went wrong with Byju’s and the edtech wave
How teachers deeply influence students beyond academics
The truth behind India’s one-track JEE focus
How to balance parent and student expectations

If you're a student, teacher, parent, or just curious about how learning in India is evolving this telugu podcast is for you.
