Every student deserves transparent, personalised guidance — not sales pitches. Since 2021, we've built Shiksha Nerd on the principle that the right information at the right time can change someone's entire trajectory. Today, we've guided 60,000+ students.
Shiksha Nerd bridges the gap between ambitious students and the right educational opportunities. We offer authentic guidance, transparent counselling, and personalised support across MBA, PGDM, and undergraduate programs.
Neha Awana didn't inherit Shiksha Nerd — she built it from zero. Driven by an unshakeable conviction that ambitious students deserve better than commission-driven advice, she turned that belief into India's most trusted education guidance platform.
Her edge is rare: an unusually deep command of the Indian and global admissions landscape — MBA, PGDM, undergraduate, and study-abroad — combined with the relentless drive to keep mastering it as the system shifts every year. She has personally counselled thousands of students through high-stakes decisions, dissected hundreds of B-school cohorts, profiles, ROI patterns, and placement curves, and translated all of it into guidance that actually changes outcomes. What started as one woman with a laptop is now a movement of 60,000+ students guided and 1.33 lakh+ YouTube subscribers — built one honest conversation at a time.
Varun Vidhudi is the operator who turned a counselling practice into a platform. He brings the rare combination of admissions strategy and builder's instinct — the kind of thinking that lets a single insight reach lakhs of students without losing its sharpness.
Varun has spent years immersed in the Indian B-school and UG admissions landscape — visiting campuses, dissecting placement reports, sitting across from students at the most decisive moment of their academic lives. He leads strategy, content, and the systems that let Shiksha Nerd scale guidance without diluting it: structured profile audits, B-school shortlisting frameworks, and interview prep methods refined across hundreds of successful conversions. His content reach now spans lakhs of students who treat his college reviews and admission breakdowns as essential viewing during decision season.
