Our Story

The Spark

One quiet evening, as we sat together reflecting on our journeys in publishing and education, we found ourselves asking a question that wouldn't leave us: **Why do so many bright, passionate students struggle with research?**

We had seen it countless times. Early-career researchers brimming with ideas, yet stumbling because they didn't know how to write a research paper. Their confidence dimmed, their voices often unheard.

That was the moment we realized—the gap doesn't begin at the university level. It begins much earlier.

The Realization

What if we could start sooner?

What if students, while still in school, could learn how to research, write, and publish? Imagine the confidence they would carry into college, postgraduate studies, or even a PhD. Imagine the contribution they could make to India’s growing intellectual capital if they began this journey earlier.

That was the seed of **iNextResearcher**.

The Mission

We envisioned a platform that acts as a bridge—closing the gap between school and higher education, between curiosity and publication, between a student’s first spark of an idea and the confidence of seeing their name in print.

With iNextResearcher, we want to ensure that every child knows:

They are not too young to research.
They are not too young to publish.
Their ideas matter, here and now.

The Journey Ahead

iNextResearcher is more than just a platform. It is a movement. A movement to empower schools, nurture students, reassure parents, and strengthen India’s academic ecosystem.

For us, this is not just a project. It is a promise — to create a future where no idea is too small, and no student is too young to make an impact.

From the Founders

Dr. Vivek Mehra

"For decades, I have worked in publishing and witnessed how research shapes nations. But I have also seen too many students stumble simply because they never learned how to write or share their ideas.
With iNextResearcher, I wanted to give young minds that opportunity much earlier—to build a fearless, confident generation of researchers."

Shafina Segon

"As an educator and mentor, I've always believed that children rise to the level of expectations we set for them. Watching students lose confidence because they were never taught how to express their ideas in writing moved me deeply. iNextResearcher is my way of telling every student: your voice matters, your ideas count, and the world is ready to hear them."
