What Ekal Shiksha does

Ekal Shiksha is an India-based, founder-led EdTech company headquartered in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, that delivers one-to-one online tutoring to K-12 students (Class 6 through Class 12) following the CBSE curriculum. Founded approximately in 2016 by Sanchit Singhal (Founder) and Bhavya Sharma (Co-Founder), the company focuses on personalized, individual attention as its core differentiator versus crowded classroom settings and traditional home tuitions. The platform supports three academic streams — Science, Commerce, and Humanities — with subject-specific teacher allocation across disciplines including Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Accountancy, Economics, and the humanities subjects, plus English.

The underlying technology stack centers on a live interactive video conferencing platform augmented with virtual whiteboard, screen sharing, and real-time doubt resolution. There is no proprietary AI/ML layer; the service is human-tutor-delivered. The core product is the One-to-One Online Classes service, supplemented by two add-on modules: 20-minute Doubt Class Sessions (priced at ₹125 per session) and Online Mock Tests for exam preparation, with a free demo class offered before commitment. The company has built a network of 200+ experienced tutors and claims to have delivered 30 million+ classes to ~3,000 currently enrolled students, with ~5,000 K-12 students served cumulatively over nine years of operation.

Ekal Shiksha operates a direct-to-consumer business model with no institutional customers. Revenue is generated through per-session hourly billing (₹349/hour for Class 6-8, ₹399 for Class 9-10, ₹499 for Class 11-12) and prepaid subscription bundles of 20 or 40 sessions at modest discounts. Acquisition is driven by a product-led funnel — website self-enrollment, phone/email contact, academic counseling, free demo, and conversion — supplemented by organic social media and content marketing across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and a company blog. The company is privately held, bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, and serves students across North India, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, and Gujarat.
