GuruQ, a New Delhi based one-of-its-kind digital platform that connects tutors and students was founded with the core objective of creating a conducive for quality education. The inception dates back to a time when Minal Anand got an opportunity to compare the Indian education system with its American counterpart during her studies in the U.S. The impact of schooling and extra schooling(tuitions)was clearly evident from the excellent performance of Indian students there.

Minal realized that all Indian students need is the right guidance, and they can competently use it for their benefit. Evidently, the best way to create an impact in the education sector was that of helping students get this valuable guidance easily by putting them in touch with the right tutors. The impetus was provided by a KPMG study Minal commissioned, which clearly indicated the potential of the private tuition industry both offline and online. This marked the beginning of GuruQ.

GuruQ provides multiple ways to search and choose the tutors. The first approach is do-it-your self(DIY)where by the platform

allows students to use various filters to narrow down their search, compare tutors on key parameters and choose the right one. The second approach allows students to provide their requirement specifications and let the GuruQ Engine generate the best fit options to choose from. And lastly, the simplest approach allows a student to broadcast their detailed learning requirement to all the relevant tutors and let the interested ones to respond. "We use a highly effective online class interface called WizIQ which makes learning online interesting and impactful," informs Minal.
