Real Stories: How We Helped Education Startups in Tamil Nadu Grow Big!

We believe in practical advice. Here are some real examples from our work in Tamil Nadu that show how our advice helped education startups succeed.

Story 1: Boosting Admissions for BrightFuture Academy

BrightFuture Academy is an online learning platform based in Coimbatore. They had great teachers but fewer students joining their courses. They wanted to reach more students, especially in smaller towns.

What We Did:

  • We launched special online ads on Facebook and Google that showed up only to parents in towns like Madurai, Tiruchirappalli, and Salem.
  • We helped them create simple videos and messages in Tamil that showed how good their classes were.
  • We also helped them offer special “free demo classes” to attract new students.

The Amazing Result: BrightFuture Academy saw a 50% jump in student admissions in just three months! They were super happy and could now teach many more students.

Story 2: Helping VidyaGyan Institute Expand Everywhere

VidyaGyan Institute in Chennai was a very popular coaching center for government exams. But they could only teach a limited number of students in their physical center. They wanted to grow and reach students all over Tamil Nadu.

What We Did:

  • We helped them set up an online portal where students could take tests and attend live classes from anywhere.
  • We suggested they offer a ‘hybrid model’ – some classes online, some in person.
  • We also helped them partner with small coaching centers in other cities to use their study materials.

The Amazing Result: VidyaGyan Institute could now teach three times more students! They even opened new study centers in places like Vellore and Erode, becoming a big name in exam coaching.

Story 3: Making Learning Fun at InnovateLearn Hub

InnovateLearn Hub in Tirunelveli teaches school students extra skills like coding and robotics. Their old lessons were a bit boring, and students were not always excited. They wanted to make learning super fun and practical.

What We Did:

  • We worked with local teachers and experts to create new lessons that focused on “doing things” instead of just “reading books.”
  • For example, instead of just reading about robots, students actually built small robots using simple kits.
  • We added stories and examples from Tamil Nadu’s local industries, like how farming uses technology or how textiles are made.

The Amazing Result: Students at InnovateLearn Hub became much more engaged. Their parents also saw the difference, and the number of students joining their programs grew by 40% because of the exciting new way of teaching.
