About EduRev

EduRev is building the Netflix for Education with a layer of social networking. We aim to make the process of education and learning so effortless and engaging that you don’t feel the need to go to a school or coaching center anymore. EduRev essentially stands for Education Revolution and we are looking to achieve nothing less.

EduRev has over 9 million students and adds around 10 new users each minute. We are backed by Y Combinator, Artiman Ventures, and prolific angel investors like Anand Chandrashekaran (Ex-Director at Facebook Messenger, Ex-CPO at Airtel & Snapdeal), Martin Basiri (CEO, Apply Board), to name a few.

We have won the Best App award (for learning) by Google, the Startup of the Year Award by TieCon, and the mBillionth Award for Learning & Education in South Asia by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. 

Our Journey and the plan ahead

We started our entrepreneurial journey 🚀right after college to solve two critical problems in the education system:

• Even though each child is unique, there is no personalisation in the way we are taught 👩🏻‍💻
• The average teacher-student ratio in India is ~ 1:50, which creates a high dependency on good teachers
• A product designed with a student-first approach

Since our inception we have 👇🏻:

• Managed to create a product that our users have loved: In the NPS survey, 87% of activated users are selecting 9 or 10 out of 10.
• Sold 70k+ subscriptions organically across 30 countries including India
• Collectively solved more than 2Mn doubts organically (our user to answer metric is 10x that of Quora)

We are looking for young and smart sales enthusiasts who will become the face of EduRev and communicate with our end users.
