Career Guidance Platform

Continuous Career Guidance for India's Youth

Eklavya helps students build an evolving profile of their interests, skills, and achievements from age 12 through professional life, and uses that to surface scholarships, colleges, internships, and career opportunities that actually fit them. Built directly into a real learning platform, so course activity, quiz performance, and practice sessions strengthen your profile automatically — not just what you type into a form.

The Challenge

India's Career Guidance Crisis

India's education system produces millions of skilled graduates annually, yet the majority make life-defining career decisions in information vacuums. Students lack continuous, personalized guidance to understand their own potential or discover opportunities that align with their unique strengths.

The current career counseling model is fundamentally broken. Students typically receive guidance only at critical junctures (class 10, 12, or university entry), often from counselors who lack deep knowledge of individual students' evolving capabilities, interests, and learning patterns.

This fragmented approach results in mismatches: students choosing wrong streams, missing relevant opportunities, and pursuing paths misaligned with their actual potential. The consequence is wasted talent, high stress, and suboptimal outcomes for both individuals and society.

Our Answer

A Longitudinal Approach to Career Guidance

Rather than one-time assessments, Eklavya builds a continuous, evolving profile of each student from age 12 through professional life — capturing academic records, skills, interests, and achievements — and uses it to surface opportunities uniquely suited to each individual.

Continuous Profile Evolution
Students log academic records, skills, interests, and achievements over time. Their profile grows with them instead of resetting at every milestone.
Personalized Opportunity Matching
Every student's profile is matched against a growing database of scholarships, colleges, internships, and jobs to surface the opportunities most relevant to them.
Learns From What You're Already Doing
Course completions, quiz scores, and mock-interview performance on the learning platform Eklavya is built on feed your profile automatically — every fact tagged with where it came from, so nothing you enter yourself is ever silently overwritten.
Conversational Onboarding
A simple, conversational onboarding flow makes building a profile easy and low-friction, even for students who've never had access to career guidance before.
Who It's For

About Eklavya

Venture Overview

Eklavya is incubated under Shoonya Origins, a venture studio building solutions for India's most pressing challenges. Named after the legendary student who achieved mastery through dedication and self-guidance, Eklavya represents that same principle: personalized, continuous, intelligent career guidance.

The platform is designed for India's reality. Most students don't have access to high-quality career counseling, and those who do receive it only at critical junctures. Eklavya changes that by being continuously available, deeply personalized, and grounded in actual student data rather than assumptions.

The approach is pragmatic: start with longitudinal data from age 12, build a clearer picture over the years, and compound better decision-making at each life stage — leading to more efficient talent discovery across India's economy.
