Enlighten us on various courses offered by Careerwill with key emphasis on flagship offering.
Careerwill’s mission to democratize education emphasized the test prep vertical. The initial courses offered were for the government recruitment exams like SSC, UPSC, Railway, Banking, and all other one-day exams. Our flagship courses are Maths Offered by Rakesh Yadav, Co-Founder, and UPSC Foundation Course. With the success rate of our initial courses, we have launched Careerwill Online School to fulfill our mission of imparting education till the last mile.
We operate on a freemium model so that the student pays us after complete satisfaction after watching demo classes. We offer courses at very pocket-friendly prices as most of our students are from the rural segment of the nation. For an easy comparison, we offer test prep courses including quant, reasoning, English, and GS at just 999 each, the original cost of which is around 10-15k.
Also, where the private tutoring charges are around 2k for a month per subject, we offer all subjects for the whole year at just 2.5k for grades 9th and 10th. The quality of courses is best as all our educators have decades of teaching experience in the hub of ed¬ucation i.e., Mukherjee Nagar.

How have you expanded your understanding of eLearning principles and technologies and what factors do you consider when
assessing the effectiveness and efficiency?
Our pedagogy is matched with and aligned to the appropriate curriculum through clear objectives and relevance. We highly focus on learner engagement and make the session interactive and keep motivating them during the classes. We also have a very innovative approach to make students learn when it comes to the test prep segment.
For making E-learning effective and efficient we create LIVE interactive sessions, support 24*7 doubt solving mechanism, easy navigation for students, coherence, consistency, and transparency is the key to our motto that is “School Scholar Se Sarkari Officer Tak”
What kind of innovation/up-gradation is currently happening in your organization that can be reflected in your solutions?
We cater to teaching discounts, coupon codes, and referral programs for students. Community-based idea generation involves that we come with the most required course when the course requests reach 10000. We also offer free-of-cost content at times. Also, every week we give Free webinars so that the student gets knowledge from Indian and International experts.
Since its inception, how has the company nurtured itself? Illustrate the growth of the company in terms of revenue, clients, and geographical presence?
Careerwill started from an idea to educate students sitting away in far remote areas who have very lim¬ited access to resources. During our initial years, it was extremely difficult for me and Rakesh to onboard experienced faculties and make them ready to offer courses at 1/10th of their original prices.
Gaining their trust and making them believe in our passion was a very hefty task. Fortunately, we gained their trust by creating an impact in the lives of students from the far remote areas and at the same time being profitable within the first year of launching the app in 2018. We started with two employees and expanded into a team of 200+ people in just three years.
