Takshashila was the world's first university — founded in 700 BC, it taught students from across Asia regardless of their birth or background.
We're building Aitakshila on that same belief: great education belongs to everyone, not just those who can afford ₹80,000 coaching institutes.
Aitakshila = AI + Takshashila. Takshashila was the world's first university, founded in 700 BC. Students from every corner of Asia — rich, poor, royalty, farmers — came to learn from the greatest minds of the ancient world. We're bringing that same spirit of accessible, excellent, no-excuses education into the AI age. Every feature we build, every rupee we spend, every decision we make is in service of one student: the one preparing at 1am on a ₹5,000 phone, trying to change their family's life.
Help Indian exam aspirants from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities clear government and professional exams at prices that don't exploit their desperation.
Every decision is measured against one question: does this help students clear their exam? Time-on-app, DAU, and feature count are noise. Exam pass rates are signal.
We publish our errors publicly within 48 hours. We show real student counts. We never claim 100% human-reviewed content if it isn't. Transparency is our competitive advantage.
Products get deprecated. Institutions endure. We build Aitakshila the way IIT Bombay and RBI were built — decision by decision, with an eye on the next 50 years.
A student in Patna with a ₹5,000 Android on 2G is our primary user, not a secondary consideration. Every design decision is validated on that device first.
We never use dark patterns, predatory EMI traps, or fake urgency. We never sell your data. Our pricing never rises faster than Indian wage growth. Period.
