Our Role

As the official representative for Micke Hermansson and Grej of the Day across India, the Middle East and new markets, every enquiry in the region, whether a keynote, a school programme, a publishing deal or a platform licence, is handled by our team in Delhi NCR, India. We manage the brief, the commercials, the scheduling and the follow-through, so you have one point of contact rather than a distant calendar.

Micke has already spoken twice in India. This is the next chapter of that work, and we are building it partner by partner.

  • Speaking Summits, conferences, education conclaves, leadership events and in-house sessions, live or from his studio.
  • Training Teacher training, school programmes and hands-on workshops for schools, groups and teacher-training institutes.
  • Publishing Translation and territory rights for 18 titles, and new editions built for regional readers.
  • Licensing Content and platform licensing for edtech, media, games and broadcast.
  • Partnerships Programme partnerships with boards, foundations, CSR initiatives and cultural institutions.

The Curiosity Architect

Thirty years as a teacher. Now a system-level voice in education.

Micke Hermansson taught in northern Sweden from 1987 to 2016. In 2010 he created Grej of the Day for a class of ten-year-olds. The concept has since reached classrooms, corporates, parliaments, publishers and research labs across continents, and now reached Indian shores.

From One Classroom to the World

Grej means “thing” in Swedish. Grej of the Day is a seven-minute micro-lesson that starts the day before, with a clue. It adds nothing to the syllabus and fits into any timetable, which makes it straightforward to adopt at scale. It is a proven, portable curiosity-led learning format that can be adapted across learning and corporate environments, books, media, edtech, entertainment and multimedia formats. Choose your sector and we’ll show you what a partnership could look like.

  1. The clue

    A clue goes home. Families start guessing over dinner, and the class arrives already arguing about the answer.

    The day before
  2. The micro-lesson

    A true story told with images only, ending on a fact surprising enough to be worth repeating.

    Morning, 7–8 minutes
  3. The retelling

    Students retell the story at home, from memory. One of the most reliable ways to make knowledge stick.

    That evening
  • 130k members in Grej of the Day communities worldwide
  • 16 countries covered in an ongoing research study at University of Southern Queensland
  • 2025 responses from educators on the positive impact of GOTD
  • 2026 end is when the peer-reviewed analysis of the research will be formally presented at the Australian Association for Research in Education (AARE) Conference
When curiosity arrives first, learning follows.

Why India, why now

The National Education Policy asks for exactly what this method was built to do.

NEP 2020 calls for teaching that is experiential, inquiry-driven and discovery-oriented, and names storytelling as part of standard practice in every subject. Then it adds four words: “and, of course, enjoyable”.

Grej of the Day needs little more than a teacher, a story and a few minutes a day, which makes it one of the most cost-effective ways to bring that ambition into a classroom, whether in a private school network or a state programme.

experiential holistic integrated inquiry-driven discovery-oriented learner-centred flexible and, of course, enjoyable
