About Avanti 

Avanti's  mission  is  to  develop  curriculum,  teaching  and  mentorship  practices  that  equip  students  for  financially 
secure  careers  and  instil  a  culture  of  responsibility  and  lifelong  learning.  In  the  longer  term  we  envision  school 
systems in India adopt this philosophy. 
At Avanti, we implement a unique pedagogy called “Peer Instruction“ a pedagogical framework developed by 
Prof. Eric Mazur at Harvard University that reduces teacher dependence and enables collaborative learning. 
Students consume lecture content in the form of recorded videos and reading material before attending class. In 
place of conventional lectures, classroom time is used to get students to work collaboratively on problem sets and 
clarify doubts by interacting with our program associates. Till date, we have helped over 400+ students go to 
college. Of these over 125 have secured admission to top tier colleges such as the Indian Institutes of Technology 
(IITs) and National Institutes of Technology (NITs). 
We currently work with 3000+ students in 3 public school systems across India and helping students from IXth to 
XIIth standard, focused on pursuing careers in science and engineering.
