Operating now
Learnastra brings together products that are being built, tested, and refined: KRKB for young readers, Word Genie for vocabulary learners, Academy for applied AI training, and newer work in reasoning and memory.
Pilot-ready
A reader-first platform where kids turn finished books into reviews, quizzes, shelves, challenges, and safer peer recommendations.
25k+ installs
Vocabulary practice built around spaced repetition, speech, and sharper feedback for students preparing for high-stakes exams.
Oct 2026
Applied AI sessions covering agent workflows, RAG, evaluation, and practical engineering review.
View curriculum
Two product edges: one for logic-first games, one for personal memory. Both extend Learnastra into new behavior loops.
Business relationships
We are focused on relationships tied to pilots, distribution, implementation, and responsible product growth.
KRKB pilots, family rollout materials, reading challenges, review culture, and reporting that supports adults without taking the center away from kids.
Tutoring, test prep, libraries, youth programs, and learning communities that can put Word Genie or KRKB in front of the right users.
Investment conversations tied to product traction, operating discipline, and founder-led engineering depth.

Founder and operator
Anup Rai, Founder & Principal
After leaving Goldman Sachs in 2025, Anup began building Learnastra around products that connect learning, reading, memory, and applied AI. The work combines enterprise-grade platform judgment with hands-on product building across KRKB, Word Genie, Learnastra Academy, Agency, and Memvoy.

Leadership background
Learnastra is shaped by the kind of engineering work where trust, uptime, governance, migration paths, security, and product experience all have to hold together.
2025-present
Learnastra
Building a product company across KRKB, Word Genie, Academy, Agency, and Memvoy, with active focus on pilots, distribution, partnerships, and responsible AI implementation.
Through 2025
Goldman Sachs
Led engineering work for high-visibility public web modernization, cloud-native delivery, headless CMS architecture, and platform systems serving a global financial brand.
15 years
Consumer Reports
Guided platform evolution for a trusted consumer institution, including editorial systems, subscription experiences, data products, and large-scale digital operations.
Why it matters
KRKB requires safety, moderation, family context, reporting, and privacy judgment because it works with children and reading communities.
Word Genie has crossed 25,000 organic installs. The next work is partner-led growth, retention analysis, and deeper student learning loops.
Academy, Agency, and Memvoy extend the same operating base into AI training, reasoning products, and memory experiences.
