THE VISION BEHIND CRYPTICS

about

Cryptics was founded on the belief that technology education must go beyond textbooks and empower students to engage with the ideas shaping the future.


Envisioned by Mr. Harjeet Kakkar, CEO of Vydehi School of Excellence, this School Technology Quiz Championship for students was created to inspire young learners to explore technology, think critically, and embrace innovation from an early age.


What began as an initiative to nurture technological curiosity has evolved into a nationally recognised platform that brings together students from across India to compete, collaborate, and showcase their knowledge on a national stage.


Today, Cryptics continues to reflect this vision by encouraging future-ready learning and celebrating the next generation of innovators, problem-solvers, and technology leaders.

Vydehi School of Excellence founded by the late Dr. D. K. Audikesavulu Naidu, with the aim to provide holistic education at par with international standards. The motto of our school “ Knowledge is Supreme Power” caters our vision of lighting a lamp of knowledge that illuminates the world with its wisdom, while creating a knowledge pool that will never dry.

Principal's Desk

At Vydehi School of Excellence, we believe that preparing students for the future requires more than academic excellence. It calls for curiosity, critical thinking, digital literacy, and the confidence to embrace a rapidly evolving world shaped by technology.


It is this vision that inspired Cryptics, India's Premier School Technology Quiz Championship. Designed for students in Grades 6-8, Cryptics provides a national platform where young learners explore emerging technologies, strengthen their problem-solving abilities, and develop the future-ready skills needed to thrive in the digital age.


Over the years, Cryptics has grown into one of India's leading inter-school technology competitions, bringing together schools from across the country to celebrate innovation, collaboration, and technological excellence. More than a technology quiz, it is an opportunity for students to challenge themselves, think beyond textbooks, and discover the limitless possibilities of technology.


As educators, we believe every child should have the opportunity to explore, question, innovate, and lead. Through Cryptics, we remain committed to nurturing the next generation of innovators, responsible digital citizens, and technology leaders.


We warmly invite schools across India to join us in this inspiring journey of learning, discovery, and innovation.


Warm Regards,

Principal
