Success Story of Edukhoj: Growing Educational Search Platform In India

In today’s fast-paced world, everyone is running a race to learn something new and be the top of their game.

In order to solve this problem, Abhishek Porwal launched Edukhoj to bridge the gap between students and educational institutes. 

In this article, we will tell you everything about Edukhoj and its founder. 

How Did It Begin?

The idea for launching an online educational platform – Edukhoj originated when Abhishek Porwal answered a pointed question from a biology student during a career counseling event at one of the renowned schools. “Sir, if not NEET, then what option do biology students have? And what if not IIT? Why is Science restricted to only B.Tech or IIT”? This thought-provoking question motivated Abhishek to launch an e-learning platform, redefining the educational possibilities in India.

As a result, he also left his job and started working on a bootstrapped startup – Edukhoj. This commendable move not only marked a change in Abhishek’s professional trajectory, but it also embodied his platform’s dedication to challenge traditional educational standards. Abhishek Porwal launched Edukhoj in 2020 during the COVID-induced lockdown period.
