A life to each person cannot be limited to only two sides of a theory. It cannot be compared to systemic rules with zeros and ones or with black and white. Apples and oranges are extremely opposite in their characteristics, yet the colloquial proverb compels us to consider them non-distinctive. The upliftment of society comes from knowledge sharing, accessibility to resources and information, collaboration and guidance from brilliant visionaries. Business Outreach Magazine regards entrepreneurship as a key factor for national economic growth. With its effective policy-making, it turned out to be the third-largest startup ecosystem in the world. But this ecosystem is built over the hard work and resilience of entrepreneurs, who believe in impact over short-term gains, who believe in proactive efforts for bridging industry gaps over quick fixes to a deep-rooted concern.
In 2023, CA Dr. Mahesh Gour founded Eduveda Edtech Private Limited with the goal of transforming learning from traditional, closed-access techniques and rote memorization to science-backed, inclusive methods of memorization for optimum knowledge consumption and appreciation. Mahesh Gour is a beacon of leadership, where he learned from the path he himself walked on, with years of self-doubt and self-discovery. Although CA Dr. Mahesh Gour considers himself to be a lifelong learner, he recalls his student days of the 90s. Back then, technology was at a primitive stage and educational systems were considered to be a one-size-fits-all approach. Mahesh reflects on his journey, when he was overwhelmed by the vast syllabi and inclined towards rote memorization.
Under the leadership of Mahesh Gour, Eduveda Edtech, understands that every student is different and has their own personalized system of knowledge consumption and memorization.
Mahesh believes that education is an empowerment and not a burden that students have to get through in terms of marks and exams. Eduveda Edtech is moving towards a direction where learning should resonate more with humans and not just caged in rigid educational structures.
Throughout the process of completing studies, it is quite evident that students to get into depression, anxiety and acquire unnecessary learning methods. Mahesh Gour comes with experience as a student himself. Rather than being not assumed to be a scholarly student, CA Dr. Mahesh Gour was driven with mischievous pursuits and uninspired education. He points out that back then if someone had told that Mahesh will achieve two doctorates and become a Chartered Accountant, he would have clearly passed that discussion with unquestionable humor.
Eduveda Edtech is something more uplifting than an edtech company. It is a community that supports students in their academic journey and understands that these students need not shine in their careers all by themselves, alone. CA Dr. Mahesh Gour is an entrepreneur who believes in the process of adaptability. For him, educational methods should be mind lifting, personalized and not at all be repetitive and rigid. When Mahesh started identifying the purpose of education, his life took a major shift. Education did not knock his insightful mind with a compulsion, but motivated him to pursue knowledge excellence. During his career growth, Mahesh Gour relocated to Mumbai, the financial capital of India, to prepare for his Chartered Accountancy goal. There, he came across a huge gap between him and his peers, who were all preparing for the exams.
Mahesh Gour learned that language barrier is a real thing and he started working on his communication skills. With rather a considerable amount of sentiment, Mahesh Gour’s expression was analyzed with the fact that he had to work twice to be at the position he is now. And he gets the societal pressure of students these days. He has walked exactly on the same thorn-filled path. A pivotal aspect of Mahesh Gour’s goal is to transform the perspective that students, irrespective of their background and financial situation will get the right resources for a top-tier education at Eduveda Edtech. A student’s inaccessibility should not limit their borders and deprive them of career-growth and success in life.
Looking into the educational background of CA Dr.Mahesh Gour, he is Chartered Accountant (CA), which was the turning point that taught him discipline, problem-solving and the power of persistence. He has a Doctorate in Management of Taxation to satisfy his curiosity to deep dive into the system that shapes our economy. Furthermore, he also has a Doctorate in Memory Techniques which is rooted from a personal struggle and evolved into a mission to help others learn smarter and not harder. Additionally, Mahesh Gour has Qualifications in Business Auditing – to stay sharp and relevant in a fast changing business world and a B.Com which is the first stepping stone that started it all.
Currently, Eduveda Edtech is digitally expanding to reach every corner of the country, especially to the rural most regions with low-income families. They are collaborating with schools and institutions to bring meaningful changes to classrooms. Eduveda Edtech and CA Dr.Mahesh Gour are building a mentor network that supports students beyond textbooks— into skills, careers, and self-belief. Ultimately, they’re creating AI-based tools to personalize every student’s learning path, because no two minds are the same. Some of the awards won by Mahesh are Padma Shri Samman Award – for excellence in memory techniques and motivational education, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Bharatiya Ratna Award – for contributions to education and GST training and many more. When we asked CA Dr.Mahesh Gour on his take on success and resilience, he said, “इस कर्मभूमि में कर्म तो सभी को करना पड़ता है , ऊपरवाले ने तो दी हैं बस हाथों में चंद लकीरें, पर उन लकीरों में रंग तो हमें ही भरना पड़ता हैं।”
