The academy, which runs flagship programs like SIP Abacus, Globalart, MiKids, and CriCo English, marked the anniversary with a grand celebration at Grand Chennai by GRT Hotels. The event saw participation from top franchisees, alumni, educators, and partners — all part of a journey that has impacted over 14 lakh children across India.

Adding serious spark to the celebrations, SIP Academy announced three big initiatives that blend education, excitement, and environmental action:

1. National-Level Math Contest with an ISRO Rocket Launch as Grand Prize

The 10th edition of SIP’s flagship Arithmetic Genius Contest (AGC) isn’t just a competition — it’s a front-row seat to India’s future. National winners this year will be rewarded with the unforgettable experience of watching a live ISRO rocket launch at Sriharikota, bringing them face-to-face with India’s boldest achievements in science and space.

By giving children this direct exposure to India’s space frontier, SIP Academy is doing more than rewarding academic excellence — it is igniting imagination, fueling STEM dreams, and placing young Indians at the heart of the nation’s scientific aspirations.

2. Three New Miyawaki Forests to Turn Students into Eco-Champions

As conversations around climate change grow louder, SIP Academy is taking action by bringing nature into the heart of learning. To mark its 22nd year, the brand will plant three new Miyawaki forests in Kolkata, Thanjavur, and Sivakasi — dense, native green spaces created using the fast-growing Japanese technique.

3. New National TV Campaign to Spotlight India’s Brainpower

The new SIP Abacus television commercial, unveiled during the event, focuses on the real-life transformation of students to sharp, confident, and focused learners. With a nationwide roll-out, the campaign positions SIP Abacus as the go-to brand for parents seeking holistic development.

“In a world chasing shortcuts, we’ve stayed committed to building real skills, brick by brick, child by child. This milestone belongs to every student, teacher, franchisee, and parent who believed in our mission. Our next chapter is all about scaling impact — through innovation, sustainability, and a whole lot of heart,” said Dinesh Victor, Managing Director of SIP Academy

As it enters its 23rd year, SIP Academy is not just growing — it is reshaping the after-school learning ecosystem in India. With franchising success, social good, and scalable learning tools in its arsenal, the brand continues to prove that real education starts after the school bell rings.

The mega event brought together 1615 SIP Abacus students from 38 centers of Pune, PCMC, Ahmednagar & Western Maharashtra. In the competition, children solved around 300 mathematical problems in 11 minutes covering Abacus, multiplication, and visual arithmetic sums.

Children also attempted a Concentration Round of 100 sums in 3 minutes in which they exhibited their computing skills in loud music in the background. The competition is a platform for the SIP Abacus students to demonstrate their exceptional arithmetic ability, memory, and concentration skills, which they acquired through the SIP Abacus program.

The regional prodigy is part of the SIP National Prodigy competition, scheduled to happen in a few months. SIP Abacus has in earlier years achieved 5 LIMCA books of records for the size and pattern of the competitions held in India and internationally.

In the Trivandrum Regional Prodigy, the parents of 1615 students were present to witness this massive competition along with SIP Abacus India franchisee partners and employees. A total of over 4500 people attended the function.

Addressing the students, Chief Guest Shree. Chandrakant Patil said, “I have seen many miracles in my social and political career in the last 45 years but I have never seen such a miracle so far which is exceptional. SIP Academy by conducting abacus training is implementing national Education Policy in reality. Children of this age rather than just learning subjects need to build long-term skills like SIP Academy’s children. I am delighted to see the concentration level and calculation speed of the students. This program will fully sponsor 100 underprivileged students in the Kothrud constituency in the next three years.“

Addressing the students Sibi Sekhar – Director, of SIP abacus sai, “We are aiming to touch 1 million minds in the coming future and we are growing our network in every city now. SIP abacus train students with high-level learning skills in the future will surely succeed in every spear of life.  In this contest students participated in 16 categories different categories. And the champions of each category are announced.“
