The Problem We Saw
A Rigid System with No Control 🎓
From 2012 to 2014, our founder mentored aspirants for one of the toughest entrance exams in the world—the IIT-JEE—which grants admission to the coveted IITs, where only 2% of nearly 1 million students secure a seat.
Even Toppers Had No Say 🎯
Most students couldn’t choose their preferred college or major—their All India Rank dictated their fate.
The 98% Left Behind 🚪
The vast majority settled for misaligned options, unaware of alternative career paths and the opportunities that studying abroad entailed.
The Big Realization
A massive awareness gap existed—students and parents didn’t realize:
Admissions Abroad Are Holistic, Not Just Rank-Based 🌍
Unlike rigid rank-based admissions, top global universities consider extracurriculars, essays, and personal achievements alongside academics.
Lack of Guidance Costs Students Opportunities 📑
Many capable students miss out on global opportunities that align better with their career aspirations simply because they don’t know how to apply, when to take tests, or where to find scholarships.
Studying Abroad Can Open Better Career Pathways 🎓
Education at a top university abroad could be the key to better job prospects and stronger professional networks.

Moving Beyond IIT-JEE 🚀
In 2014, our founder pivoted from IIT-JEE coaching to international admissions consulting, recognizing the lack of awareness and the need for structured guidance.
Building Expertise in the Field 🏆
He joined a reputed organization in the international admissions consulting space and quickly became one of the most highly rated teachers and mentors in his city.
Trust That Sparked a Movement 💡
With students, parents, and school leaders valuing his guidance and placing their trust in him, his expertise became the foundation for something bigger—Epiphy Academy.
The Birth and Rise of Epiphy Academy
Built on the Foundation of Goodwill and Trust 🌍
In 2018, Epiphy Academy was born, fueled by the goodwill and trust our founder had built over the years.
Bridging the Gap for Underserved Students 🎯
Our mission is to empower students from small towns and lesser-known schools across India with access to world-class education abroad.
Global Success Stories, Life-Changing Scholarships 🎓💰
Since then, hundreds of Epiphy’s students have secured spots at top universities like Stanford, Dartmouth, Berklee College of Music, University of Toronto, Imperial College London, Nanyang Technological University, and more—often with up to 100% scholarships.
Epiphy Shines at Harvard
Harvard Admits Our Founder! 🎓

Our Mission & Vision
At Epiphy Academy, we are on a mission to break barriers and empower students—especially from underrepresented regions—to access world-class education through structured, personalized mentorship.
Our vision is to reshape the landscape of global college admissions, ensuring that every deserving student, regardless of background, has the knowledge, guidance, and confidence to thrive at top universities worldwide.
Our Impact
At Epiphy Academy, impact isn’t just about numbers it’s about the REAL lives transformed through high-quality, affordable mentorship.
Take, for instance, our very first success story a gifted student from a simple school. His father ran an electrical supplies shop, and affording the typical cost of a US undergrad education seemed a huge barrier. Yet, we saw his potential, believed in his dreams, and mentored him all the way to Stanford on a full-ride!
We’re not fixated on numbers, but the scale of our reach is undeniable. Having mentored hundreds of students so far, we know that when scaled effectively, our model has the potential to impact over 10 million students across India every year.
Expanding Access to World-Class Guidance
From a single city in 2018 (Jaipur, Rajasthan), we now support students across 15+ cities in India—including those from underserved small towns and remote regions who often lack access to expert guidance.
Our students come from places as far as Dibrugarh in Assam, proving that ambition knows no boundaries. Beyond India, our reach has grown internationally, with students from the United States, Thailand, and Qatar choosing Epiphy Academy, drawn by the raving reviews of our students and parents.
With our fully online model, we provide profile building, admissions support, and test prep to students regardless of location, ensuring that where you come from never limits where you can go.

Our Brand Name & Logo
The word ‘Epiphy’ results from our founder's fascination for Mathematics and is made up of three irrational numbers having very rational meanings: e, pi, and phi.
-
The number 'pi' spans the globe, representing the various universities where our students end up.
-
The number 'e' represents exponential growth, which wish for our students to experience in their careers.
-
The number 'phi,' the golden ratio, which is magically present everywhere, from our DNA to our galaxy, serves to remind us of our place in the universe.
The same three numbers also intricately constitute our logo, do you see?
