Loosely inspired by the seventeen United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals; the mission of the platform is to educate and promote knowledge, ideas, and enable sustainable change through synergistic themes on finance & economics, science & technology, art & culture, fitness, and well-being. The startup works under the revolving umbrella theme of equitable education as the central tenet across all facets of its work. The Startup Pill ranked The middle Road among the top 15 Global Civic Tech startup’s in 2020.

Nishant wants to make his startup a global leader in Media and EdTech; working on the confluence between the two forms of channels for furthering educative and emotive wellbeing. His startup also offers consulting, advisory, and other business services. The middle Road site shares scholarly research-focused e-publications, articles, videos, and podcasts with leading social change enablers with creatively melted online learning courses. The applied learning videos are offered across diverse topics that range from finance & economics, sustainable finance, statistics, impact evaluation, and much more. To date, all content is free on the startup’s site. These online tutorials impart skills and theoretical knowledge on the subject matter covered, designed to catalyse a practical and problem-solving mindset for surpassing complexities around us. If change is constant, then The middle Road is facilitating this change through its structured thoughtful learnings, a win-win tool for civic societies. As a one-person company and employee, Nishant single-handedly built his company from scratch through a rigorous pedagogy and flair of interweaving Media and EdTech for a synergistic outcome.
