Splashgain Technology Solutions Pvt.

We intend to build a virtual market place for all our innovative technology products with a focus on using latest technologies to bridge the digital divide and to bring in much needed reforms in the Indian education sector.
We are the creators of an innovative online platform for education. At all levels of education from pre-school to post graduation, student & parents apply to at least 5 to 10 institutes simultaneously to seek admission in one institute of their choice. The students and parents go through various levels such as admission form submission; documents attestation/photocopy, and subsequent communication with the educational institute which becomes a highly tedious process with many levels repetitive in nature.
Kindly give us a brief description about yourself (it should include your brief educational or entrepreneurial background and list some of your major achievements).

What ignited the spark in you to (start a new business venture) or (to make significant changes in an existing business)? How did the idea for your business come about?
During 2006-07, Swapnil was applying to various MBA Entrance examinations and submitting forms of multiple B Schools across India. Swapnil found that process of applying to multiple institutes is tedious and lot of time is wasted by the students after the various processes such as getting demand draft from the bank, purchasing the prospectus by standing in the long queue of bank/post office, sending the application form along with required documents etc. Through this experiences and hearing similar experiences from his friends a colleagues, Swapnil decided to build a platform to not only help students but institutes as well. ePravesh® was born.
