It started with a simple belief - that every young person deserves the freedom to choose a career they love.
Back in college, we didn’t have it all figured out. But we knew one thing: students across India were being forced into careers they didn’t resonate with. So we set out to change that - one course, one Captain, one learner at a time.
That was the beginning of MyCaptain.
Over the years, we built 60+ Programs across new-age careers from Entrepreneurship to Design, Marketing to Machine learning, Content Writing to Investment Banking. More than 500,000 students trusted us with their dreams.
We built with heart. We built with purpose. With a belief that students in India, no matter what background, college, or financial strata they came from, should have access to world-class education, meaningful networks, and career-defining opportunities, without barriers of cost or privilege
Today, I’m incredibly emotional as I share that MyCaptain has been acquired by Imarticus Learning.
With Imarticus’ scale and credibility, we’ll take our Kickstarter programs to 1 million students in the next 3 years, integrating them with universities and credit-aligned pathways.
We’ll bring our Pro Bootcamps in Digital Marketing, UI/UX, Brand Strategy, and more, offline to 20+ centres across 16 cities.
Most importantly, we’ll continue building the kind of education that transforms lives.
What made this partnership special wasn’t just the business fit - it was the shared DNA. From our first conversation with Nikhil and Sonya Hooja, we felt like we were already on the same team - aligned towards the same vision.
To my co-founders, Ruhan Naqash and Sameer Ramesh, and our anchor Sachin Roy, Thank You.
You’ve been more than just partners, you’ve been the closest of friends. We built this like a crew, figuring it out one step at a time, side by side.
To every Captain who supported us along the way.
To every well-wisher and mentor who guided us when it mattered.
To the team that stuck through the highest highs and the lowest lows.
To our investors, who backed our vision with conviction.
And to every learner who had ambitious dreams and dared to pursue them, thank you for trusting us with your journey.
Today, we celebrate the stories of all the students we’ve empowered, and look forward to shaping the lives of a million more.
