History

Welcome to our website, where you can explore our inspiring journey that began in 1999. During my third year of undergraduate studies, I was also the guardian of my younger brother, then in the 9th standard. He was preparing for the prestigious Homi Bhabha Balvaidnyanik exam and was determined to succeed. However, at that time, there were no reference materials or classes available to support students preparing for this exam.

To help my brother and his friends, I decided to write a comprehensive guidebook for the Homi Bhabha exam. After completing the book, I sought feedback from my teachers and mentors. To my surprise, they praised it highly, noting that there was no other reference material of such quality available. Motivated by their encouragement, some of them advised me to publish the book. Although I faced several rejections from publishers, I stayed persistent.

Eventually, Mr. Shyam Halbe, owner of Shraddha Publications in Dombivli, agreed to publish it. Following the grand launch of the book, parents started requesting me to begin classes for their children. That marked the beginning of our coaching center. Just eight days after the book’s release, we conducted our very first class at my home with around 40 students. Armed with just a blackboard and a deep passion for teaching, we introduced engaging and innovative teaching methods.

We used common kitchen items to demonstrate experiments, held biology sessions outdoors, and made the learning process interactive and enjoyable. This hands-on approach helped students understand complex topics easily and sparked a genuine interest in science. Our methods quickly became popular, and in that very first batch, we proudly celebrated two gold medals and several silver medal wins. As word spread, more and more parents enrolled their children, prompting us to expand our facilities. We established our own laboratory, library, and other infrastructure to meet the needs of our growing student base. Gradually, we added courses for other competitive exams like scholarships, MAT-JMO, and more.

By 2008, we had moved into our own premises equipped with a dedicated lab. We began developing our own course materials to ensure that students had access to the best reference books for the Homi Bhabha Exam and other competitive exams. Our emphasis on high-quality content became one of the pillars of our success.

Today, our teachers and I have authored over 20 books, widely available in the market. Over the past 24 years, our success has been fueled purely by word-of-mouth referrals. Our consistent results are a testament to the commitment of our expert faculty, the support of trusting parents, and the hard work of our dedicated students. We see ourselves as one big family working together toward success. Students from all over Maharashtra join us for Homi Bhabha exam preparation and also seek our help with projects and interviews. The demand for our books, question sets, practical handbooks, and smart kits continues to grow, and our reference materials remain highly valued.

To meet this increasing demand, we ensure students have access to top-quality study aids. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we launched online coaching and made our materials available as e-books. We now offer both online and offline coaching, helping students prepare effectively from anywhere. With a legacy built on trust, results, and innovation, we are proud to be recognized as a Top coaching institute for science Olympiads.
