Chennai based BrainGroom's inception story is not amongst the one that is in common. It is the idea that generated out of life's personal experiences. Madhula Sathyamoorthy, an NIT Trichy & IIM Raipur graduate was always interested to set her footprints in the entrepreneurial world. But she waited for the right situation & the right idea. And, it came while she was working with large corporate across Indian metro cities over a period of five years. It was during weekends when Madhula tried to learn something new in terms of education & other instrumental stuff; she noticed that the materials were not readily available. Most of the things served on the internet were scattered whereby one has to go through hundreds of sources, classify them, do a profiling, shortlist them and if required, meet the people in-person. The process was tedious & cumbersome in nature. Once on a vacation to her brother's place in Singapore, she observed similar things in regards to his kid's education. Thus, identifying that as digitization was on the edge but access to education was still was a major issue across borders; Madhula plunged into the educational ecosystem space.

Madhula Sathya moorthy, Founder & CEO, Brain Groom says, "Experiences,right idea for a massive development and

entrepreneurial stints paved the path for all. Coming back to India,I started with business mapping & planning and when things were placed I left my comfort zone to set up my own venture, leading to the advent of BrainGroom."
