Gyankriti, is an education group which is operating a senior secondary school in Indore, India, since 2013. The organization is founded and managed by two IIT Bombay alumni Akshay Gupta and Yograj Patel right after they opted-out of placements. Gyankriti School is affiliated with CISCE, commonly known as ICSE board.

Gyankriti is mentored directly by Mr. Sunil Handa. He is a profressor at Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad and founder of Eklavya School, Ahmedabad.

The name is self-explanatory, it is a confluence of knowledge (gyan) and creation (kriti). The logo symbolizes it with a half brush representing creativity and half pen representing logic. This also forms the basis of their registered tagline "Where logic meets creativ!ty"
