I want to empower Bharat with quality education.”
— Alakh Pandey, Founder, PhysicsWallah
This powerful vision from Alakh Pandey, the founder of PhysicsWallah, is the heartbeat of one of India’s most inspiring edtech success stories. What began as a YouTube channel to make physics simpler and more accessible for students has now become a full-fledged education platform impacting millions across the country.
PhysicsWallah was founded on the belief that no student should be held back by their financial background or lack of access to coaching hubs in big cities. With affordable pricing, vernacular content, and a strong focus on conceptual clarity, PhysicsWallah has become a lifeline for students preparing for competitive exams like JEE, NEET, and more.
PhysicsWallah’s mission is clear: to democratize education for every corner of Bharat, not just India’s metros. Their hybrid model, combining online learning with offline centers, ensures that high-quality teaching reaches even Tier 2 and 3 cities. With over 10 million app downloads, successful course launches, and now even government exam prep, PhysicsWallah has grown from a single educator’s dream to a movement.
Today the company continues to scale responsibly, investing in technology, teacher training, and student experience- staying rooted in its original goal: empowering students with affordable, accessible, and effective education.
