Anil Nagar, Founder and CEO of Adda247 Explains His ‘Why’

Kabhi socha hai… un students ka kya hota hai jo system mein fit hi nahi hote?

The ones who can’t afford big coaching centres.
The ones who don’t speak fluent English.
The ones who fight a hundred battles – just to stay in the race.

When I started Adda247, we didn’t start with a business plan or a fancy pitch deck. We started with one simple thought:

There are millions of students in this country who are not weak.
They’re just being left out.

This blog is about three students who made us pause and remember why we do what we do. They didn’t come from privilege. They came with perseverance.

Aditya – The Boy Who Couldn’t See, But Never Stopped Looking Ahead

Aditya lost 90% of his vision.

His own family’s coaching centre refused to teach him — afraid his failure would ruin their “result rate.”

But Aditya didn’t stop. He attended our live classes at Adda247. He used screen readers to watch recorded sessions again and again. He did everything his own way.

And the result? 88% in 12th boards. 93% in Economics. 92% in Psychology.

And now, Aditya wants to come back — not as a student, but as a teacher. That’s what full-circle looks like.

“I never thought he would pass 12th, let alone top.
Thank you, Adda247.” — Aditya’s mother

Prachi – The Girl Who Topped, So She Could Change Her Village

Prachi comes from a remote village in Firozabad district — where roads are broken and schools barely function.

She had no coaching. No internet. No exposure.

What she had — was intent.

She studied using Adda247 resources, stayed consistent — and scored 453/500 in UP Board, securing the 2nd rank in her entire district.

Her dream is to become an IAS officer. Not for a government job. But to fix the very village that tried to hold her back.

We’re now sponsoring her full UPSC prep through StudyIQ. Because students like Prachi don’t just need applause — they need real support.

Anushka – The Girl Who Refused Help, and Still Topped

Anushka is differently abled. She can’t walk without support. One of her hands is stiff — writing even a line takes effort.

During her board exams, she had the option to use a scribe. She refused. She said, “I will write my own paper.”

She attended live sessions on Adda247. Revised from recorded videos. Prepared quietly — with consistency. And when the results came? 100/100 in Geography.

She didn’t want special treatment. She just wanted a fair chance. Her dream is simple — to be independent. And we’re here to walk with her.

Closing Thoughts

These students didn’t ask for sympathy. They didn’t need “motivation”. They just needed access. And someone to believe in them.

That’s why we built Adda247. Not to chase toppers — but to find the forgotten. To reach the ones no one’s betting on.

Education can change lives. But only when it reaches the ones who need it the most.

Aditya. Prachi. Anushka. In their stories — I found mine again. Zindagi badalne ka pehla kadam.
