One Generation,
Changes Everything

What if every bright young mind had the same shot at success?

Today, Avanti is more than just an education initiative — it’s a movement. From major cities to the most remote villages across India, our teachers and mentors go where they are needed the most — ensuring that every student receives the support they need to reach their full potential.

low-income high school graduates make it to the most prestigious colleges in India

It’s not a lack of talent-it’s a lack of access.

At Avanti, we identify talent in low-income rural communities and bridge this gap by offering free, high-quality tutoring, college counselling and access to scholarships.

Our programs are sought after by a large number of students who come from backgrounds that have traditionally been overlooked and underserved, and offer them tools to determine their own futures.

WhatWe Do

Our model allows students to prepare for the most competitive entrance exams, qualify for India’s best colleges, and thrive in their chosen careers.

Identifying Potential

We work with government school systems across the country to identify bright, driven students from underserved communities — young people with the potential to transform their futures if given the chance. 

Enabling Access

Whether it is through in-person classes in residential and public schools or online sessions that reach remote villages, our free, high-quality academic support ensures that no student is held back by geography or income.

Empowering for Success

Our support doesn’t stop at academics. From navigating career choices to building confidence, our teachers and mentors help equip our students with critical skills for their professional lives.

Education Beyond Exams

We support students through life-changing exams like JEE and NEET — but our work doesn’t stop there. We help them build the confidence, vision, and tools to step into the world as nation builders and future leaders.
