Awal Sir
If you've ever dreamed of speaking fluent English, you must have heard the name Awal Sir. Known to millions as a trusted mentor, Awal Madaan, the founder of AwalEnglish.com, has helped transform the lives of millions of English students across India. But how did his journey begin? Let's dive deep into his incredible story, one that starts with struggle, perseverance, and a deep desire to make a difference.
When Awal Sir began his corporate career, he quickly realized that fluent English wasn't just a skill, it was a superpower. The polished English used in professional settings felt completely different from the textbook English he learned in school back in Amritsar. And back then, there was no YouTube or Instagram to learn from.
So, what did he do? He created his learning techniques, carved his own path, and it worked wonders. His confidence grew, his skills sharpened, and soon, he was receiving awards at work and being chosen to lead global projects, including those in the United States of America.
But Awal's story doesn't stop there.
Awal Sir's father, the legendary TS Madaan, was already a renowned life coach with a powerful presence on YouTube. He encouraged Awal to share his hard-earned knowledge with the world. Why not give back and teach the language that changed his life?
That advice hit home.
And so, Awal Sir decided to become the mentor he never had, helping students from small towns and villages turn their dreams into reality, just like he did.
Language should never be a barrier to learning.
English can feel intimidating. But when it's taught in your mother tongue, in this case, Hindi, it becomes approachable, relatable, and fun. Awal Sir chose Hindi to reach learners in every corner of India, ensuring no dream gets lost in translation.
Let's be honest. Most English lessons are either boring or overly complicated. That's where Awal Sir flips the script.
From "could, would, should" to "has, have, had" - his reels and lessons make learning English a joy, not a chore.
Born in 1982 in Amritsar, Punjab, Awal Madaan comes from a humble, middle-class family. His father, Mr. TS Madaan, went from working at LIC to becoming one of India's most loved motivational speakers, even setting a record by selling insurance to nearly 900 police officers in a day!
His mother, Mrs. Satinder Kaur, is a digital creator herself, making popular videos on home remedies, cooking, and styling. His wife, Sakshi Khattar Madaan, is a fitness influencer who has transformed the lives of thousands of women through personalized wellness programs. His younger brother, Himeesh Madaan, is a top motivational speaker with over 10 million followers.
With such a powerhouse family, Awal Sir had the right environment to dream big, and he did.
Before launching AwalEnglish.com in 2016, Awal Sir spent nearly 16 years working in top multinational companies. His job took him to the United States, and his communication skills opened doors he never imagined.
But leaving a high-paying job with perks and prestige wasn't easy. He risked it all to pursue a bigger mission to make English simple, fun, and accessible for everyone, especially those who couldn't afford expensive coaching classes.
It didn't take long for the world to notice.
His short-form videos on common English topics became viral hits. By the time TikTok was banned in India, Awal Sir had over 9 million followers, making him one of the most followed Indian educators on the platform.
In 2020, he launched his affordable Spoken English course on the Entri App for just â¹999. Today, over 2.5 lakh students have completed the course, many of them speaking fluent English with newfound confidence.
His course is now recognized by the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and even Cambridge University, offering students dual certification that boosts job and university applications both in India and abroad.
Awal Sir's dedication hasn't gone unnoticed. His trophy shelf includes:
What makes Awal Sir different isn't just his teaching style, it's his heart. His mission is rooted in empathy, humility, and the desire to uplift others.
