“The problem with the industry is that it is highly fragmented, unorganized, and unregulated and yet it is growing at a CAGR of 35% and valued at $40 Billion. 35% of Indian Students are dependent on this industry but not everyone is satisfied. We believe if all the stakeholders are equally satisfied then all the problems will fade away slowly. So we set out with a simple aim, to ensure satisfaction of students and institutes. The solution consists of two parts, first, getting students to the institute who serves their needs and second, for institutes to adjust themselves such that they can provide best service to students while being lucrative,” says Ankush.
The founder comes from a Tier 3 city and faced this issue of finding the right training institute, being a finance profession he therefore decided to build a startup that would organize an unorganized sector.
“Our Vision is to make sure that no student joins a coaching institute that is not fit for him. To continuously innovate, fill the gaps and provide a transparent flow of information between a student and the coaching institute,” says Ankush.
