WiseGuru’ – The only online platform where children learn and develop new-age skills through live interactive classes. We aim to nurture skills that are highly relevant and will be in demand at all steps of life. Children today should possess problem-solving and analytical skills, critical thinking, and communication skills. Wiseguru is built by alumni of NITs, IITs, IIMs, Stanford and Google. We are the first in India to provide Phygital (A combination of Physical and digital) Live and interactive classes. WiseGuru is an AI-enabled platform simplifying English, Personality Development and new-age skills learning for K-12 students across South Asia. Our audio-visual techniques combined with AI-enabled progress tracking, performance analysis and personalization make learning a fun and engaging process and help students achieve academic and competitive excellence.
We use games, step methodology, and powerful technology to teach as they have at least a 40% higher retention rate than traditional classroom learning through 1:1 live interactive classes. Skills developed at WiseGuru are as follows:
· Communication Skills
· Grammar
· Reading
· Personality Development
· Creative Writing
· Public speaking and Many more...

The ePlane Company is redefining urban air mobility with the e200X, Indias first electric air ambulance and taxi. Engineered around a compact 8 by 10 meter footprint , it utilizes existing city helipads and rooftops instead of requiring entirely new infrastructure. As a deep-tech "Make in India" breakthrough, its core subsystems—including the propellers, airframe, landing gear, and battery packs are developed entirely indigenously.
Current Stage & Capital
Backed by $21 million in total funding, including a $14 million Series B , and 7 years of subscale validation, ePlane has transitioned from simulation to hardware. Full-scale assembly of the first prototype, PT-01, is complete, integrating all core subsystems into a single physical structure. PT-01 is entering ground testing at IIT Madras to validate structural loads , moving directly into flight testing and DGCA Type Certification. Notably, ePlane holds Indias first Design Organisation Approval (DOA) for a private electric aircraft.
Leadership & Credibility
Incubated at IIT Madras and founded by Prof. Satya Chakravarthy , the company pairs top-tier aerospace expertise with capital-efficient engineering. Its deep-tech capability is validated globally, recently featured in NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huangs GTC Keynote and selected for the governments flagship Bharat Innovates 2026 showcase in France, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Emmanuel Macron.
The Future
The commercial rollout leads with the air ambulance to address the critical emergency "golden hour" , cutting urban transit times from hours to minutes. This same scalable airframe will later expand to serve passenger air taxi and urban cargo sectors , redefining city transit as a formal public unveil approaches in the coming weeks.
