Community Powered Career
Coaching for India's Underserved Youth

Hero

We combine technology and community to expand access, build awareness, and deliver mentorship, thereby unlocking 10x better career outcomes after school.

The Problem

Nearly 3 out of 4 students aged 18-23 do not enter higher education after school.
It is not due to lack of potential, but because the system is unfair.

Entrance Exams Decide Outcomes

Schools Don't Teach Exam Syllabi

Low Career Awareness

Weak Govt. School Foundations

Coaching is Expensive & Opaque
