About Us

Over the years, IPA has emerged as a leader in abacus maths training, brain development, and mental arithmetic programs, reaching thousands of young learners in India and across the globe.
What began as a single initiative to promote abacus-based learning has today grown into one of the most trusted and respected names in the education sector. With more than 1500+ centers across India, 2000+ trained teachers, and 3,00,000+ students, IPA has consistently proven its dedication to making abacus training accessible to children everywhere. Our international presence extends to countries like the USA, UAE, Australia, and South Africa, making IPA a truly global name in abacus education.
