Growing up in Indore, Ritesh Singh Chandel and Rushabh Kothari saw coaching centres at every street corner, yet access to quality teaching remained out of reach. So they set out to build what didn't exist: An infinitely scalable AI tutor that could teach any student, in any town, in their own language, at the cost of a monthly phone recharge.

"I grew up in a tier 2 city and struggled to find a great teacher who could teach at my pace, in my language, and at a cost my family could afford," Chandel says. "A 'good teacher' often meant high fees, long travel, or settling for whatever was available. For my JEE preparation, my dad and sisters put in all their savings, and only then could I join a good coaching institute." Years later, whenever the two visited home, they would see the same reality.
