New Delhi: Shiksha Nation has appointed Nitish Bhardwaj as Chief Business Officer (CBO), adding experienced EdTech business leadership to its senior management team.
Nitish brings significant experience across EdTech business development, sales and growth. Before joining Shiksha Nation, he held senior leadership responsibilities at PlanetSpark, where he worked across business development and sales and was part of the organisation’s growth journey.
At Shiksha Nation, Nitish will lead the business function, with a mandate spanning growth strategy, business development, market opportunities and customer acquisition.
The appointment comes as Shiksha Nation continues to develop its learning proposition, bringing together technology, AI-enabled learning, live classes, assessments and academic support for students.
The K–12 education market today offers students and parents a wide range of learning platforms and choices. Shiksha Nation is looking to stand out with a proposition that combines quality education, technology and greater clarity for families.
A key example is UnlockX, the company’s scholarship test, which is built around a straightforward score-linked scholarship model. The proposition is designed to make it clear to students and parents what their performance translates into, without adding unnecessary complexity to the process.
This approach reflects a larger thinking at Shiksha Nation that the education experience should be as clear and accessible as the learning itself.
Commenting on Nitish’s appointment, Dr. Saurabh Kumar, Founder & CEO, Shiksha Nation, said: “Shiksha Nation is at an exciting stage in its journey. We have built the foundation, and the opportunity now is to build a much stronger education platform around the needs of students and parents. That requires strong business leadership, sharper execution and the ability to build teams and processes that can operate at scale. Nitish brings valuable experience in each of these areas, and we are pleased to have him join us at this stage.”
“Shiksha Nation has a strong opportunity ahead, particularly as students and parents are becoming more discerning about the education choices they make. What attracted me to the organisation is the ambition to build a meaningful, large-scale education business with a clear proposition. I am looking forward to working with the team to strengthen the growth engine, build high-performing teams and take Shiksha Nation to a much larger audience,” said Mr. Nitish Bhardwaj, Chief Business Officer, Shiksha Nation.
Shiksha Nation is developing its offering beyond individual courses or test-preparation products, bringing together AI-powered learning, live interactive classes, assessments, academic excellence and future-skills development within a unified learning ecosystem.
Its bilingual approach, with learning support in Hindi and English, is also central to its aim of making quality education accessible to a wider student base across India.
With Nitish taking charge of the business function, his focus will be on strengthening the organisation’s growth engine, developing new business opportunities, building strategic partnerships and expanding the reach of Shiksha Nation’s offerings.
The company’s larger proposition is built around bringing together strong academic delivery, technology and a simpler experience for students and parents.
