Avanti (www.avanti.in) is among Indias fastest growing and best funded education start-ups (over $7M in funding raised till date). Our Smart Gurukul combine the best teaching methods in the world with classroom technology to deliver an effective Science and Mathematics education to over 4,000 students in over 25 cities across India. Our programs focus on competitive exam preparation (IIT JEE, CET, NEET). As a social enterprise our mission is to deliver this high-quality education in every district in India.
Avanti is also the only education institute to play a major role in developing education policy at the national level with major work with the governments of Haryana, Delhi and the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti. Avanti is also the trusted partner for coaching in major PSU and corporate townships including Gujarat Ambuja, JSW Steel, National Fertilizers Limited, GAIL, Narora Atomic Power Corporation among others.
Unlike many coaching institutes we do not use a one-size-fits-all approach. Our specialized programs for students are based on their aspirations, academic level and needs. Thus we have the highest selection rates in the JEE Mains in some locations, and exemplary results in the JEE Advanced. Our boards programs in 9th and 10th std have produced several state-toppers. Our CET programs in Karnataka and Maharashtra continue to outperform our competitors.
Our excellent work has been recognized by national and international organizations and featured in the news media including awards by Ashoka, Echoing Green, Forbes 30 under 30 and Pan IIT Alumni. Our investors include the Pearson Affordable Learning Fund and The Michael and Susan Dell Foundation. Our academic board is chaired by Prof. Eric Mazur, Dean of Applied Physics at Harvard. At present, we have over 200 full-time employees and support over 2500 students in over 25 locations across India.
