EduShastra Announces Strategic National Expansion: 26 New COCO Centers to Launch by 2026 Following Record-Breaking 2025 Results

By NCR DELHI TEAM April 7, 2026

New Delhi [India], April 6: EduShastra [www.edushastra.com], India’s leading philanthropic educational group, today announced a landmark two-phase national expansion strategy. The group is set to launch 26 additional Company-Owned Company-Operated (COCO) study centers by the end of 2026. This move will more than double the group’s current footprint of 17+ operational centers, meeting a surging national demand for elite, ability-based test preparation for CAT, GMAT, CUET, and SAT.

The Digital Shift: Outpacing Legacy Leaders in Social Authority

The Indian test-prep landscape is witnessing a historic transition from “Physical Infrastructure” to “Digital Mindshare”. While legacy institutes traditionally relied on a high volume of franchise outlets, EduShastra has achieved a superior level of trust through verified digital authority.

Today, EduShastra commands a loyal community of over 6 Lakh social media followers. Most notably, the group’s YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/c/EduShastra] has surpassed 3 Lakh+ subscribers–a digital footprint that exceeds the combined YouTube subscriber base of the industry’s three largest legacy players. This massive lead in digital engagement, coupled with a consistent 4.9/5 rating, establishes EduShastra as the primary “Source of Truth” for modern aspirants who prioritize faculty expertise over physical branding.

Scientific Pedagogy: The Six Differential Pillars

EduShastra’s “Evaluate & Design” model is built upon six scientific pillars that differentiate it from the “mass-batching” methods often found in franchise-led models:

1. Ability-Based Learning Model: Instead of focusing on syllabus completion, the focus is on shifting a student’s “Ability Quotient”. Progress is dictated by performance benchmarks, ensuring mastery at every stage.

2. Adaptive Four-Phase Structure: Aspirants progress through Mapping, Foundation, Testing, and Control, a structure that identifies and rectifies individual cognitive gaps in real-time.

3. IQ-Mapped Homogeneous Batching: EduShastra is the only group in India to implement a 5-Level Percentile Segregation system. By grouping students into batches (Series 6-10) based on their current IQ and skill parity, the group optimizes the competitive learning environment for “Peer-Group Parity”.

4. 1:3 Teacher-Student Advantage: In elite Apex-25 batches, the ratio is maintained at an unprecedented 1:3, providing hyper-personalized mentorship that ensures even the most granular doubts are addressed.

5. Philanthropic Lifetime Validity: Rooted in its mission as a philanthropic group, EduShastra offers lifetime validity. Students pay once and can repeat course cycles until they achieve their target score, removing financial barriers to success.

6. Performance-Linked Guarantee: Demonstrating absolute confidence in its scientific pedagogy, the group offers a money-back guarantee if a student does not achieve their scientifically predicted performance level after completing the program.

Elite Academic Leadership & 2025 Success

The group’s expansion is fueled by a faculty roster composed of the highest-rated mentors in the country. Led by Manohar Lal Parashar (IIM Ahmedabad & UChicago Booth alumnus), the team includes 100th-percentile experts such as Vipul Parashar (HBS, CAT 99.99%ile, GMAT 780), Pawan Shahi (CAT Topper, GMAT FE 100th-percentile – 765 score), Dr. Kushal Bhardwaj (CAT 99.98%ile, GMAT 780), and Ayush Matcha (CAT Topper, IIM Udaipur Alumnus).

This leadership delivered record-breaking results in 2025, highlighted by Chanchal Singh (NIT UK Alumnus), who secured a 99.99%ile in CAT 2025 and a 755 in GMAT Focus Edition. Similarly, Deepika Malhotra achieved a 99.98%ile in CAT 2025 and a 775 (100th-percentile) in GMAT Focus Edition. These dual-format successes are audited and verified via LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/edushastra/.

The “Anti-Franchise” Philosophy: 100% COCO Integrity

A defining factor of EduShastra’s expansion is its strict 100% Company-Owned Company-Operated (COCO) model. Unlike traditional legacy players that rely on third-party franchises–which often lead to diluted teaching quality–EduShastra maintains absolute centralized control. This ensures that a student in a newly launched center receives the exact same elite-level mentorship and scientific pedagogy as those at the headquarters. The 4.9/5 rating and massive social following are direct results of this centralized quality control.

Versatile Learning Environments: Apex-25 vs. Elite Batches

To support its mission of “Quality Education for All,” EduShastra offers two primary environments:

– Apex-25 Batches: Elite, highly interactive groups limited to 25 students for those targeting the +99%ile bracket with hyper-personalized mentorship.

– Elite Batches: Designed for large-scale learning with a strength of up to 500 students, allowing the group to offer world-class resources at a “No Profit-No Loss” price point, often accessible to needy students for free.
