I was 19 and working as a chess instructor for a company in April 2023 when I learned that the company was going bankrupt. This would leave me without an income source, making it difficult to cover my expenses in Delhi while pursuing my graduation. Disappointed and suffering from an illness, I became deeply depressed and returned home from Delhi. Not wanting to burden my parents and not being ready to ask them for money, I decided to complete my graduation from my hometown and leave the course.
A few weeks later, I received a message from one of the parents of a child who wanted to learn chess with me. This was my first student and a small source of income. I believed in myself and thought I could do wonders. In May, I started my own chess academy, Chessholic Chess Academy. I returned to Delhi and rejoined college. However, within a month, I realized I wanted to do something bigger than just teaching chess. I envisioned a company that could offer a variety of courses.
From this idea, Braud Gauge was born. I started promoting my services on social media, offering discounts to parents, and working tirelessly. With the support of a few parents who referred me to their friends, I gradually gained more students. On November 2nd, we officially registered Braud Gauge as a private limited company. At that time, I was the sole manager of all operations. I hired a friend to create a website and design graphics for our Instagram page.
I continued to promote the website, seek referrals, and dedicate myself to learning and growing. In April, we launched five additional courses. By May 2024, we had a team of five employees. Unfortunately, I made several mistakes during this period and faced financial difficulties. I took a two-month break to regroup and collect funds to restart operations.
After returning, I assembled a marketing team and began to grow again. We hired new employees, launched new courses, and invested in research and development. Now, almost a year later, we have a team of 5-7 employees and 20+ instructors. We are ready to launch a student portal, an instructor portal, a new website, and collaborate with new peoples worldwide to reach new heights in the industry. Braud Gauge has already educated over 1000 students in various courses, and our goal is to provide education to everyone worldwide.
As we embark on this new chapter, I am filled with optimism and anticipation. With a dedicated team, a growing student base, and a commitment to excellence, we are poised to revolutionize the education industry. Our vision is to create a world where learning is accessible to all, regardless of their background or location. By leveraging technology and innovative teaching methodologies, we aim to empower students to reach their full potential.
To everyone who has supported me on this incredible journey, I extend my deepest gratitude. Your belief in me, your encouragement, and your unwavering support have been instrumental in shaping Braud Gauge. From my family and friends to my dear students who have trusted me as their instructor, your contributions have been invaluable. Together, we’ve built something truly special, and I’m excited to see what the future holds.
Best Regards,
Aditya Tiwari
