Founded in July 2023 by Vimal Singh Rathore and Aseem Gupta, SuperKalam is set to revolutionize education by leveraging Artificial Intelligence to provide personalized guidance and support for competitive exams.

Cofounder & CEO, Vimal Singh Rathore at SuperKalam expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We are excited to have iconic investors join us in our mission to rethink learning in an AI-first world. At SuperKalam, we are committed to leading this change by transitioning from unilateral content broadcasts to delivering personalized learning that adapts to each student’s unique needs.”
