I apologize if I misunderstood. From this
We want to customize in such a way that our logo is added to inkscape and create different lessons for all section of students.
I thought all you wanted was a logo and instructional material.
Maybe you should say specifically what you want, rather than generalities? From my point of view, adding Inkscape to your products will enhance the value, even if it's not changed at all.
Although I think Martin's suggest was for you to make the changes that you need (with guidance from the Inkscape community); if developers were to provide you a quote, they would need to know every detail about what you want.
All best, brynn

Dear Brynn,
We want to add inkscape to our software so it may enhance the value of our software. Just creating the instruction material would be of no use to our business growth.
Thanks, Pavi

On the other hand, I was just thinking. As a community, I think we are aware that Inkscape is probably lacking in instructional material - especially from the beginner level on up.
If SunTech is offering to pay us to create such instructional material, and as long as we would be free to make it available to all Inkscape users as well, maybe it would be worth considering the offer?
All best, brynn

Actually the original was junked by gmail for me.
Dear Pavi,
I think the idea of an Inkscape for Kids is a really good idea. I would like to invite Sun Tech Group to consider developing such a modification in the public under a generic name without specific branding (which can be added in later for your own distribution). This I suggest because it would involve the greatest reduction in cost for maintaining such a fork for your business.
This is a project that we could help you develop in the right way. Let us know in reply.
In addition to compliance to the GPL (https://inkscape.org/en/about/lic ense/), you must also comply with the Inkscape trademark usage policy ( https://inkscape.org/en/about/branding/) in whatever production you end up doing. If you have any issues, let us know as soon as possible any questions or concerns and we can clarify the rules.
Good luck!
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hi. Currently all our developers are engaged in bug fixes, features, upgrades, etc. to Inkscape for our next major release. If you do not get a response here, it's probably because there is either no interest, or our developers do not have enough time to work with/for your company.
One note: Before you undertake modifications to Inkscape, please make sure that you comply with the license if Inkscape, and the way in which you want to use it is compatible with the software license. This is very important, because you are legally obligated to comply with all terms of the GPL in order to use Inkscape as part of you program.
For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/
Thanks for your interest in Inkscape.

Dear Aditya,
Thank you for your reply.
Is there any procedure to take it up forward? Like I would like to know point of contact for such queries on customizing or is it open for hundreds of developers and anyone would offer the quote and I chose the best one? Is there a team who manages and collect the status?
Also please give me any point of contact of the board of developers. I am also aware of the inkscape license and we just want a simplified version of inkscape to be added to our software as a plugin. We are looking to modify the content with SunTech's logo and preferences. We want to introduce inkscape to primary schools from level1 to high school in different stages so that students develop their creativity as they move to higher classes. Our XCLASS software is also developed using C++. Since we don’t have enough bandwidth from our developers to customize inkscape, we are looking forward to the help of your developers since they know about the source code inside out, it could be easier for them too and we can finish off the project sooner.
Eager to hear back from you.

Hey Pavithra,
Here is the liscense of Inkscape which you can refer in additional to feedback by the other developers
https://inkscape.org/en/about/license/
Please verify your use-case with other people in the community to avoid any legal issues, also I think the community will be happy if you could contribute to the project.
