There were startups that were solving the tuition problems, whereas others were providing solutions to math problems. But above all, Ashutosh Kumar Burnwal’s Buddy4study won the hearts of investors.

With years of research into scholarship domain, we evolved from a simple scholarship listing website to a complete scholarship ecosystem. With right advisors on board and good team members on the execution side, we are continuously innovative scholarship product to solve awareness application issues of students,” said Ashutosh Kumar Burnwal, Founder $ CEO, Buddy4study.
The scholarship is a wonderful tool to curtail dropouts and promote merit/talent. Buddy4study is creating a transparent reliable ecosystem to enable anyone to join in their vision.
It is a unique startup for organization who want to run scholarship programs as their CSR, special or branding initiative. they are providing end to end solution as per their requirement in transparent and in a cost-effective manner.
” With scholarship as an alternative way of funding education to needy and deserving students, I am seeing a big market coming out in this space. The shift has started. Corporate CSR fund and individuals too are creating new scholarships to fund education to students.
We are in process of simplifying complete education funding with the involvement of CSR fund, individuals, institutions and banks. In next 3-4 years, we are focusing on increasing the supply side of scholarships and onboarding lakhs of students on another side,” informed Burnwal.
