Gyan Academy

Gyan Academy, operating as GyanLive, is an educational technology platform based in Gandhinagar, India, specializing in preparation for government examinations in Gujarat. Founded in 2019 by Mahesh Ahjoliya, Taral Patel, and Chetan Patel, the company provides a suite of digital learning tools for aspiring government employees. GyanLive has been profitable since its inception and is legally incorporated as Gyanlive Education Private Limited as of April 2022.

The company's business model is centered on providing online courses, live classes, recorded lectures, study materials, and extensive test series through its mobile application. It caters to a wide range of state-level competitive exams including GPSC, DySo, Talati, and various police and clerk positions. Revenue is generated through fees for its courses and subscriptions to its content. The platform targets students across Gujarat, with a particular focus on those in rural areas and from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, aiming to make quality education more accessible.

GyanLive's platform features include daily live classes with doubt-clearing sessions, unlimited mock tests, downloadable video lectures for offline access, e-books, and revision materials. In May 2024, the company received an undisclosed amount of seed funding from B2B edtech platform Classplus. This investment is intended to help GyanLive expand its offerings to include central government exam preparation in regional languages and to leverage Classplus's technology to enhance its platform.
