At Trio World Academy, every student’s journey reflects the heart of who we are: curious, compassionate, courageous, and committed to making a difference. Inquirers, thinkers, communicators, and principled young people grow together in global awareness. These core dispositions, alongside our foundational values of leadership, academics, empathy, discipline and service shape the way our students explore ideas, face challenges and care for others.

This collection of Stories celebrates the remarkable young minds who embody these values every day. From entrepreneurial twins launching their own venture and gifted mathematicians achieving beyond their years, to artists, innovators and student leaders who serve their community with heart, each story is a testament to resilience and character. We are proud of these students and are excited to share their triumphs as inspiration for all who visit this page.

Twin Bytes (Mira Krishna and Tara Krishna)

Young entrepreneurs harness technology to take their business idea online

Twins Mira Krishna and Tara Krishna of Grade 7 of TRIO World Academy are the founders of a soap making business. Their entrepreneurial journey started off during a dinner table discussion about setting up a stall for “Festival of Love”, a Valentine’s day event at the school. Mira and Tara came up with the idea of making handcrafted natural soaps and accessories.

Their stall on Valentine’s day was a huge hit with the students and teachers alike. They realised that they could take their soaps to a wider market.

The sisters came up with the brand name Twin Bytes. Kalapana Anne, the twins’ mother, has supported them along the process. They have worked on diligently selecting and sourcing the raw materials for the soaps, picking soap recipes, mixing the materials, pouring, curing and marketing the soaps.

They are planning on launching a website and an Instagram page to market their products.

Aarav Nallur

Some children stand out, they have talents, skills, inspirational stories that have us all watching and surprised.

Aarav Nallur was one such student. In 2019 at the age of 9 while still in Grade 4 at Trio World Academy he took the IGCSE Mathematics examination getting an A+ (88% in Advanced Mathematics). 

This would be an outstanding result from a student from Grade 10, so his exceptional marks are doubly special.

Sharing stories is one of the activities that fundamentally makes us human.

In this section, we dig a little deeper into the worlds, backgrounds, trials, and triumphs of the wonderful people who make up our school.TRIO is, after all, made up of amazing human beings, like you. We hope that you find inspiration, life lessons and reassurance from what you read here (More to come soon!)

The following year now aged 10 he was awarded the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY) Grand Honors for being amongst the highest scoring participants in their 2019-2020 CTY Talent Search when he received 99% in his Mathematics examination.

We watch his future achievements with great interest.

Sanjana Chinnan

When we write we give something of ourselves to our audience, a small gift of knowledge, imagination, a window into who we are in the world.

For this reason, our students who write with the intention that their work will be read by others are in an incredibly special category. Here at Trio World Academy, we have several published authors amongst our student body, Our Grade 6 student Sanjana Chinnan aged 11 years old at the time of writing, is one of them. Writing for her age group she has contributed to and been recognised by Read Bloom Books Liferarian Association for writing and inspiring children to share their eStories.

With our young writers we look to a future where they will further express themselves as they get older. The written word is a is a window to our humanity and a powerful weapon against ignorance, arrogance, and disinformation.

Shaurya Shenoy

Shaurya Shenoy of Grade 3B is a young man of many talents. In 2017 at the age of 6 he took part in Junior Master Chef, creating recipes and food that was both pleasant to eat but also visually appealing. An interest in cooking is a skill that will be useful throughout his life. 

“But Wait There’s More” he has built a computer on his own, using some parts available at home and some from online purchases.

At the age of 9 his curiosity prompted him to research and build a computer, his parents encouraged him by taking him to one of the labs where he had hands on experience, and he gave them a list of parts to purchase. Surprisingly within a few hours he had assembled the whole unit and connected it to an old television to convert it into a desktop.

With this computer any household TV can be converted into a computer. His parents say that this could be helpful to replace expensive laptops and tablets for the under privileged.

His inquisitive nature, the ability to take knowledge and give it a practical outcome are skills which as he grows will enable him to make an impact far beyond his immediate surroundings.

Virat Karan

Trio World Academy is always very excited to host events which involve our student and this was the case on Saturday 27th November. In this case it was two of our young student artists, the Duo Virat Karan (aged 7) and Chanvitha Sundari (aged 2 years)  who achieved a World Record under the auspices of UNICO.  They used their talent in Abstract Art Expressionism to paint a 1000 sq ft area. Their unique talents were on full display as they expressed themselves through their art.

The event was intended to raise awareness about the use of Art and Art Therapy in everyday life. These young artists were able to cover the large canvas in a record time and we are pleased to be part of the support for their talent. Congratulations and well done.

Jithen Arun

Music has been a part of the family since Jithen’s childhood, with Mom being a trained classical singer, listening to various genres across the globe, being exposed to various instruments, listening to his mother humming all the time always gave him a jolt from within and encouraged him to try his hands on anything that is around, being it banging the table or boxes/containers or walls or anything that helped him create a rhythm out of it. That’s how it led Jithen to take up drums as his passion. He has always been fascinated with the thump being played by the drummer in a music band and always wanted to do it. So, he got his first drum set at the age of 7 and there has been no stopping him after that. Music is like a therapy for him all day. He tries to practice playing drums whenever he gets time however there is no limit, it is like his daily breather.

He has performed in several social and cultural events and appeared in various radio talk shows – Club FM 94.3, Fever 104 and has been featured on television – Asianet News, Mazhavil Manorama. He even hosted the music show for an entire day on 94.3 Radio One playing music to the city of Bangalore. Jithen has also walked the ramp for international brands like Paul Smith Junior & Timberland.

Karun D Balachandar

Karun D Balachandar was a student at Trio World Academy and graduated in 2018, during this time he became an author of a popular book on Amazon and Kindle. The book, titled The Teenagers Guide to the Universe is an easy-to-read guide on everything a young mind may want to know about our universe and outer space in an understandable way. Born in the USA but raised all over the world, he is currently a 2nd year Medical student at the prestigious MS Ramaiah Medical College.

Amongst his many talents, Karun regularly won awards for his oratorial skills and academics throughout his school years. As a trained Carnatic singer and accomplished Tabla player, he enjoys dabbling in all kinds of music styles. When he has free time, he coaches young minds on the various stories from Indian and Western mythology. He enjoys writing fiction stories on websites like FanFiction and ArchiveOfOurOwn while also browsing Reddit, however due to the paucity of time due to his current university education, he has put a hold on his passions as they require more dedication.

When Karun completes his medical degree, he wishes to volunteer with Médecins Sans Frontières, (Doctors Without Borders in English) and work in areas and nations that are in dire need of doctors before he continues with further specialisation.

Karun has taken everything he was taught at Trio and has added this to his amazing abilities and talents. We are incredibly proud of Karun and we all look forward to seeing what happens in his future.
