Growing By Leaps And Bounds
From a start-up with a negative bank balance to a turnover of more than Rs. 20 crores, life has truly been a roller-coaster ride for Shreyansh Jain. Eldest son of the family and the child of academicians Professor Dr. B.C. Jain and mother Professor Dr. Sunita Jain, Shreyansh Jain did his schooling from Balaghat, which was great as far as extra-curricular activities were concerned but in terms of academics, the school was far from satisfactory.

As he puts it, "A small town has multiple disadvantages, but by the time people understand the shortcomings, it is too late." It is ironical that while his own education suffered in this small town, his father taught mechanical engineering to the students of Gondia Engineering College in Maharashtra.
Shreyansh spent his early childhood days with his grandparents in Kurud, who happened to be agriculturists.

The Turnaround
Shreyansh says going to Kota for coaching proved to be the best decision of his life. It taught him the value of discipline and motivated him to plunge headlong into fierce competition. The taste of success was heady and had him hooked for good. He says, "I just wanted to keep moving and creating new milestones in my journey." Soon, he walked through the hallowed aisles of IIT-Mumbai to become a scientist.
The Grim Reality
The students and the environment at IIT-Mumbai were very different from what he had imagined it would be. No one depended on the system to realize their dream. Shreyansh, too, decided to take the matters in his own hands and changed his career course within four months of joining IIT.
The thought of tens of thousands of students wasting their time at schools, without the right mentoring and quality education compelled him to take steps to correct the situation.
