Education and career related decisions can have a huge impact on our lives. But, many of us find it challenging to decide upon the kind of education we want to pursue. Be it picking the avenue of choice i.e. Arts, Commerce, Science or finding the best institutes, and coaching classes, we often get confused and can't narrow down on.

Edviseme, a Mumbai based Ed-tech startup has come forward to simplify this process.
Edviseme is an education aggregating platform that connects students to the best coaching institute in the vicinity by bringing together the best educational and coaching classes on one platform.

The Idea Behind Starting Edviseme
Finding a good coaching institute is not an easy task, and as a student Suraj Punjabi realized this issue very well.
When I was pursuing my Post Graduation and looking for coaching classes that were highly rated, I realized how difficult it was to narrow down and finalize on a good tutor or institute. There was no platform that I could go to, that would help me find the learning institute I was looking for considering everything from budget to convenience - Suraj quotes
Thus, he built the platform Edviseme with an idea to create a marketplace where students can easily find and connect with good coaching centers. The platform helps students make the right decision by quickly connecting them with matching coaching institutes in their locality or online, across a range of categories.
Edviseme - Name & Logo
The name Edviseme is a combination of Education-Advise.
Edviseme - Revenue Model
Classes and tutors can showcase their skills by creating their profile and get hired. Edviseme doesn’t has any pre-lead or subscription base model. The company charges commission from the classes after the student has registered. The commission can be anything between 5% to 30%. The listing of the classes is completely free
Edviseme - Customer Acquisition Strategy
Edviseme has built a strong network of professionals across Mumbai and is soon going to penetrate into tier 2 cities like Surat, Pune and Bhopal. The team focuses on generating a new lead every day. Besides, the company has a strong presence on social media, engages in PR activities and also promotes the platform in schools and colleges.
We are a marketing-oriented company and the marketing team does not follow the box-in-box-out approach. They believe in launching unique marketable concepts and back them up with 360-degree marketing efforts. On top of this, we have built a business with strong unit level economics, which is hard to find these days - Suraj Punjabi says explaining the company's marketing techniques.
Edviseme - Funding
Edviseme till date (as on Septmeber 2020) is a self-funded startup
Edviseme - Challenges
The challenges were more about building the product than taking it to the market. The portal is designed in a way that revolutionizes the way students search for coaching institutes, and building such a two way market place was obviously challenging for the Edviseme team. The company was formed after 9 months of doing a proper R&D and after planning each and everything.
Edviseme - Future Plans
Edviseme will list over additional 1500 prime non educational classes. The company which is currently operational in Mumbai, will soon expand listing of classes in Pune and Surat. Within the next 2 years, Edviseme aims to reach out to all metro cities PAN India and start listing of Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities.
