Kips Learning appoints Biju Thomas as COO to strengthen STEM innovation and educator engagement

Kips Learning — the education arm of the ABP Group and a leader in STEM publishing — has appointed Biju Thomas as Chief Operating Officer, marking a significant leadership shift as the company accelerates its national expansion.

The appointment is designed to strengthen Kips’ educator engagement frameworks, product innovation systems, and large-scale teacher training programs — three pillars central to its mission of improving learning outcomes across Indian schools.

Yash Mehta, CEO – ABP Education, said Kips is committed to shaping meaningful learning experiences for students nationwide. “Biju’s leadership, strategic clarity, and passion for education will be instrumental as we scale our STEM initiatives and deepen our impact,” he noted.

President of Kips Learning, Venugopal Bhaskaran, highlighted that Biju joins at a transformative moment. “Schools increasingly expect partners who can deliver future-skills education, train teachers at scale, and innovate content for hybrid learning environments. Biju brings the right blend of experience and vision to elevate our national outreach.”

Thomas sees the role as both a responsibility and an opportunity. “STEM is more than a subject — it’s a mindset that shapes curiosity, confidence, and problem-solving in every child,” he said. “I’m excited to work alongside our teams and school partners to build learning experiences that inspire and empower students.”

His mandate spans product modernization, curriculum depth, nationwide educator training sessions, and strategic partnerships with school networks. As the NEP accelerates demand for skills-based learning and digital literacy, Kips is positioning itself as the foundational STEM partner for institutions across Tier 1, 2, and 3 markets.

The company’s growing footprint and investment in future-skills publishing signal a long-term strategy: build a scalable ecosystem where schools receive not just books, but training, tools, and continuous support.
