Pune (Maharashtra) [India], September 5: upEducators, a leading EdTech company, proudly announces that it has successfully empowered over 10,000 educators with cutting-edge technology and modern teaching practices. This achievement emphasizes upEducators' commitment to revolutionizing teacher upskilling in India and shaping the future of education.
Ankush Bhandari, the founder of upEducators, embarked on this extraordinary journey that began with a tiffin service in Pune. Today, he stands at the helm of an EdTech company that empowers educators to deliver exceptional education to countless students through comprehensive training programs and innovative pedagogy.
The startup today provides live-interactive courses related to STEM Robotics, Coding, Artificial Intelligence, IoT, Google Certified Educators, Microsoft Certified Educators Course, Digital Marketing, Online Teaching and Innovative Teaching Practices for Educators at affordable prices.
An Unconventional Journey: From Tiffinwala to EdTech Trailblazer
Born and raised in Bhanpura in Madhya Pradesh, Ankush moved to Pune for higher education. After completing his post graduation in Arts, he launched 'Indian Flavors', a tiffin service center in 2009. Within six months, he delivered over 300 tiffins daily, demonstrating his entrepreneurial acumen.
However, unforeseen circumstances led to the closure of this venture, leading a career shift into the education industry. Driven by his relentless thirst for knowledge, Ankush swiftly progressed from a sales role to a leadership position, eventually becoming the head of the company's primary division.
Observing the educational landscape closely, Ankush recognized the need for transformation in the Indian education system. This realization led him on an enriching journey to Finland, where he studied the world-renowned Finnish education system at Helsinki University. Among the standout elements was the highly regarded Teachers Training System, emphasizing the development of exceptional educators.
Upon his return, he initiated Teachers' Training workshops in Pune. The pivotal turning point arrived with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, eventually propelling him to establish upEducators in Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh.
In Bhandari's own words, he transitioned from "nourishing stomachs through his tiffin service to nourishing the intellects of educators through upskilling."
Empowering Educators with upEducators
In April 2021, Ankush left his consultancy job to dedicate himself fully to the startup, which he initially managed alongside his wife Malvika, which has now grown to a 35+ member team.
In just two years, upEducators was recognized as a Google for Education Partner company, transforming over 10,000 educators from 18 countries. This includes educators from prestigious institutions like Mayo College, Symbiosis School, and Doon School, that have become Google Certified Educators or Microsoft Certified Educators.

The company firmly believes in the potential of quality teacher training within the Indian Education System, where every educator, when empowered with high-quality training, becomes a catalyst for positive change.
