Ankit Batra built Batraa Numerology into a profitable ed-tech brand with 20,000+ students and a global community.

No venture capital. No co-founders. No category playbook to follow. Just a former IT analyst, a Zoom account, and an idea that turned into one of India's most distinctive ed-tech brands.
If you were designing the ideal profile for an ed-tech founder, you probably wouldn't start with numerology. The category sits at an awkward intersection - too spiritual for mainstream education platforms, too structured for the astrology-and-tarot crowd. And yet, in that gap, Ankit Batra has quietly constructed a business that most conventionally positioned ed-tech founders would respect: a layered revenue model, a global student base, and a community of trained practitioners who have gone on to build their own practices.
