Meritnation.com is an online education portal that provides interactive study material for students.
Applect Learning Systems, funded by Info Edge (India) Ltd. (the parent company of Naukri.com) was founded by Pavan Chauhan and Ritesh Hemrajani who are IIM-B alumni and have been in the education content space for more than 13 years. The organization has a state-of-the-art content development centre in Delhi and has worked for prestigious institutions globally.
After passing out from IIM-Bangalore, Chauhan turned entrepreneur after three years in a regular corporate job. He wanted to get into the school segment and had a business model. But had no idea about how to create a Web portal. That is when a chance meeting with Bikhchandani, whom he had met quite often earlier, got the Info Edge founder interested in Chauhan’s business plan – Meritnation. Info Edge that owns the job search engine naukri.com, had invested in Meritnation. Meritnation provides multimedia tutorials, interactive exercises, assessment tools, exam help and expert support for students across India and Gulf.
