Leadership comments

Maneesh Dhooper, Co-founder of PlanetSpark, said, “We at PlanetSpark strive to ensure that our students get holistic exposure and thus are on a constant look–out for innovative ways to make communication skills learning more engaging and impactful.

"Through this partnership with Vobble, our students will not only refine their public speaking abilities but also witness how their skills translate into a professional setting, reaching audiences worldwide.”

Vobble’s CEO/Co-founder Neha Sharma added, “Vobble is dedicated to enabling kids’ voices by making audio for kids, by kids. We are excited to partner with PlanetSpark in this vision, and are looking forward to recognising and showcasing the talent of their extraordinary students in various Vobble stories, music and podcasts.”

The partnership comes as a unique Children’s Day initiative, wherein select PlanetSpark students will record their voiceovers with Vobble in a state-of-the-art studio in Bengaluru.

The recording sessions will continue throughout the year, with students lending their voices to various podcasts, series, and shows. 

PlanetSpark and Vobble plan to hold a selection process twice a year, ensuring a steady stream of talent and opportunities for students to participate.
