Recently UNESCO held a worldwide competition by the name ‘UNESCO Youth Multimedia competition’ for students from age 10 to 24. The winner for age group 10 to 14 is from Mumbai, India. After the results were declared team MotaChashma got an email from the parent of the winner to notify that they had come across the news of the competition from MotaChashma.com. It was indeed a moment of pride for the entire team. Established as an initiative of two alumni of Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar, MotaChashma is an online portal for students, parents, schools, and colleges which offer information on scholarships, competition, fellowships, entrance exams, admissions, auditions and other beneficial educational news and information.

A first of its kind portal in the country which provides all such exhaustive information free of cost at one place, MotaChashma is an outcome of the first company Paathshala to Profession (P2P) which was incepted in 2009 to offer information to students about varied career options apart from the known Medical and Engineering.

The company had conducted an Education Megafest in Roorkee, which was attended by over 5000 students from in and around Roorkee and was appreciated by Ministry of Education, Govt. of Uttarakhand. The P2P model was completely into the offline domain and required a one on one interaction and could reach a few thousand people.

MotaChashma came into being as an online platform to provide details about opportunities across the globe to create a significant impact and reach a wider audience. Today, MotaChashma serves as a ‘Youth Opportunity Portal’ that provides authentic information about opportunities where youth can participate & showcase their talent which can be in academics, music, dance, sports, and others. “We help them by providing timely information regarding the opportunities available for them i.e. scholarships, competitions, entrance exams, and other such news. We provide timely updates on email & SMS round the year which are useful for the visitors,” speaks Lokesh Sabharwal, Founder.

MotaChashma’s mantra for content creation is authenticity, creativity, and quality. All the content published on the website is checked through a stringent process to ensure authenticity and appeals to the target audience.
