Hi, I’m Akhil Tripathi, and alongside my co-founder Vivek Dwivedi, we’ve build SciAstra- India’s first platform for career in science.Here’s a glimpse of my journey:👉 Growing up in a small village in Uttar Pradesh, I faced many challenges with limited resources and exposure to education. As an average student, I worked hard to make my parents proud, eventually cracking NEET and NEST and choose National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER).👉 At NISER, my co-founder Vivek and I started SciAstra from our hostel room in March 2021. Balancing hectic academics with building a startup was tough, but our determination turned challenges into achievements help us win Global Student Entrepreneurship Award and recognised as best student startup in Odisha.👉 Now a graduate, I’ve completed research in Molecular Genetics and Epigenetics. I was also part of Avanti’s National Mentorship Program for Odisha and mentored students from Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in my college days.Over time we have achieved:✅ 1000+ Selections in IISERs✅ 200+ Selections in NISER and CEBS,✅ 19 Selections in India's premier mathematics research institutes ISI and CMI.✅ AIR 1 in IAT, AIR 12 in NEST, AIR 13 in KVPY✅ 20,000+ Students mentored from our courses.✅ 200000+ active community of dedicated students receiving career guidance and supportI’m proud to work with a team that feels like family, dedicated to guiding students in their science journey.Reach out at akhil@sciastra.com —whether you’re passionate about science or just curious, Let's talk about something exciting!
