History

Edvizo was founded by Ravi Nishant to address inefficiencies in India’s coaching institute ecosystem, enabling students to compare institutes based on faculty, fees, and success rates. Launched as an app-based solution, it expanded into online tutoring in 2019, offering virtual classrooms and exam preparation tools.[4] During the COVID-19 pandemic, Edvizo saw a 200% user base growth by 2021 due to the shift to online learning.[5] The company targets Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, where access to quality coaching is limited.[6] Edvizo also offers scholarships and organizes visits to institutions like NASA and IITs for top students.[7]
