Speech and Debate India was founded by Mr Rajiv Kacholia, alumnus of Stanford University and Goldman Sachs. We have taught 500+ grade 1-12 students online across India and abroad, exclusively by U.S. instructors. We help empower students to develop their unique voice and engage in fun regional, national, and international tournaments including at Stanford University and Harvard University.

U.S. Debate is research-backed, engaging students in a thrilling learning experience and proven to boost grades, critical thinking, and balanced leadership. Debate can pay back in productivity gains, making school easier, with debaters typically in the top 10% of their class. Moreover, a recent study found U.S. debate students were 7 times more likely to attend top 10 and top 25 colleges. U.S. Debate Alumni include Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Jack Dorsey (Twitter), Ted Turner (CNN), Oprah Winfrey; U.S. Presidents John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton.

Mr. Kacholia founded Speech and Debate India as a social impact initiative to help India's brightest students develop their voice. We have been featured by groups such as Indian Express, Forbes India, and Mr. Kacholia has authored articles on education and preparing students for the leadership challenges of tomorrow, published in Education World, Higher Education Digest, Business World, The Daily Hunt, Skill Outlook, Tribune India, and others.
