The Most Trusted Training & Certification Providers, 2021
Developing the Next Generation of Industry-ready Professionals
In 2013, Ms. Bakhtawar
Krishnan joined a Mumbai-based
international education test-prep
company as Partner. By 2017, she had
acquired the business and Inspirus
Education was born and shaped into
one of Mumbai’s premier centres for
international education counselling,
test-prep, and advisory.
With a clear vision to be a studentcentric
institution and not a
commission agent, Bakhtawar ensured
that Inspirus was founded on the strong
principles of making quality higher
education accessible to every deserving
child. It meant widening the horizon of
targeted universities, understanding
evolving industry needs and relevant
course curricula, working with schools,
parents and students to prepare for a
changing global workplace, and most
of all, planning the blueprint of an
inclusive institute. It also meant
building a team of like-minded
professionals, investing in training and
adapting to a tech-based outlook and
infrastructure.
In the last 8 years, Inspirus’ growth has
not just been defined by an exponential
increase in student placements across
international universities but also by its
evolution as one of India’s most trusted
higher education counselling institutes.
From a purely US-centric institute in
the early 2000s, today, Inspirus
students are excelling in universities
across Canada, Germany, Netherlands,
Ireland, UK, France, Singapore, Hong
Kong, Japan, Korea, New Zealand,
Australia and recently even India,
besides the length and breadth of the
United States.
Its reach has grown beyond the three
centres in Mumbai to centres across
three cities in India. Inspirus was the
first to create a footprint in Assam and
more recently a branch in Pune city is
making in-person counselling also a
possibility for students of this
education hub. Most recently, Inspirus
has just finalised opening a centre in
Indore.
With its vision clearly set on reaching
larger number of students and schools
across India, especially in tier II cities,
Inspirus had set course on a digital
transformation journey early. The
pandemic only accelerated the process
and ensured that Inspirus’ students did
not suffer due to the changed
circumstances.
“A unique digital student-classroom
management system, designed
exclusively by the Inspirus team was
ready for roll-out almost as soon as the
lockdown was announced,” said the
Founder-Director of Inspirus
Education – Bakhtawar Krishnan.
“Since it was designed by our team,
teacher training and student learning
challenges have not been roadblocks
and early adoption of the system has
kept our students a step ahead of the
rest,” she added.
Shareable digital documents, tests,
concept books and work books and
online quizzes are just some of the
tools the students at Inspirus work
with. The institution noticed a push
towards integrating audio-visual and
digital aid in teaching and learning on
platforms such as zoom and google
meet, and integrated the same into its
own ‘iSMS’ program.
The Central Idea
An organisation must have its heart
and soul in place, and that thought
must permeate across departments.
While value generation is the prime
responsibility of any organisation, for
an education-based company like
Inspirus, creating value through human
capital is a critical priority.
Vision:
“We focus on education as a medium
to inspire young minds to explore and
discover their best selves and achieve
amazing things. We are passionate
about our business, and work closely
