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. While coaching classes are mushrooming in every nook and corner of every town and city, when it comes to choosing one, it is not an easy task. 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. You can filter options to find an institution that is easily accessible to you and works best to your advantage. StartupTalky interviewed Edviseme founder Suraj Punjabi to understand more about the startup.

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 - 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.
