The GUVI Effect: 3 Million Users, 3 Million Dreams Empowered

One of GUVI’s greatest strengths is the ability to serve learners from all walks of life, making education truly borderless. And what started once as a dream with a humble beginning as a YouTube channel, is now working as the launchpad for more than 3 million dreams. 

GUVI reaching 3 million learners is not just a number – it’s a testament to the transformative impact GUVI has had on students, professionals, and the entire EdTech landscape. 

Join us as we explore the incredible journey behind these 3 million users and discover how vision and determination turned dreams into success stories.

Why Is 3 Million Users More Than Just a Number?

Each user at GUVI represents each learner who saw technology as both a dawn and a tool to reshape their career and life.  More than just numbers, these users symbolize dreams fulfilled—3 million stories of individuals who gained new skills, entered new industries, or achieved personal and professional growth.

GUVI empowering 3 million users signifies much more than a growing user base – it is the start of a great revolution in education. And it is marking the beginning of a new era in tech education. Over the years, GUVI has empowered individuals to pursue careers in technology, irrespective of their backgrounds or languages.

From college students aspiring to enter the tech industry to professionals seeking to upskill in the fast-paced digital age, GUVI has touched lives and changed futures. What’s more special about this is that GUVI’s impact has extended far beyond learners in India. With learners joining from various parts of the world, the platform has evolved into a truly global player in the EdTech space, yet continuing to stay true to the foundational values: making education accessible, affordable, and achievable for all.

The Seed for 3 Million Dreams: 

It all started with a dream. In 2014, Arun Prakash and his team launched a YouTube channel that aimed to provide technical education by offering tutorials in vernacular languages. Because most tech education platforms were focused on English-speaking audiences, leaving behind a significant portion of learners.

Arun, his wife Sridevi, and their friend Balamurugan stayed committed to their vision, believing that everyone, no matter their language or background, should have access to top-notch tech education. This dedication laid the foundation for GUVI, a platform that today serves over 3 million learners.

Even after a decade of growth, GUVI’s vision remains the same: to empower learners through vernacular education.

Arun Prakash and the GUVI team have never wavered in their mission to break down language barriers and create a more inclusive learning environment. The focus has always been on the learner, ensuring that the platform evolves in response to their needs.

As GUVI looks ahead to its next milestone, the platform continues to be guided by the principles that have brought it this far: accessibility, inclusivity, and a commitment to making a positive impact on the world through education.

“From our first YouTube tutorial in regional languages, we believed that language should never be a barrier to learning. Our vision was simple yet powerful, make tech education accessible to all, no matter where they come from. That mission has stayed with us, guiding GUVI through every milestone, including this incredible moment of empowering 3 million learners.” – Balamurugan SP, Co-Founder, GUVI.

A Mission Rooted in Vernacular Education

For many, the challenge of mastering technical skills comes second—the first obstacle is often the language in which it’s delivered, which often feels like a nightmare.

GUVI’s mission was built on a simple yet revolutionary idea: offer technical education in regional languages. By providing courses in Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, and other local languages, GUVI opened doors for millions of learners who would have otherwise been left out of the tech revolution due to language barriers.

Support is often limited to students from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. While students from top engineering colleges and other streams get placed and graduate with hefty packages, students in the rural parts residing either in Tier 2, or Tier 3 look into placements in the campus as a dream, and entering into the job market in itself is a faraway land for them.

GUVI took on the challenge of changing this narrative. By providing high-quality tech education and hands-on learning in regional languages, GUVI has empowered these students to stack their skills, compete with the best, and turn their dreams into reality. Through GUVI’s platform, students from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities are no longer at a disadvantage; they are becoming the next generation of tech innovators, reshaping their futures with confidence and competence.

GUVI recognized that if learners could access educational content in their mother tongue, they would grasp concepts more effectively and build confidence in their skills. This is why vernacular education is at the heart of GUVI’s model. By removing the language barrier, GUVI not only made education more inclusive but also empowered learners from rural regions to access world-class tech education. CTA

GUVI – Empowering the learners of Next Generation

In education, community is key to fostering growth, collaboration, and support.

“Education has the power to not just transform lives but to create history!

The 3 million learners who have benefitted from GUVI are not just transforming their own careers; they’re creating a ripple effect that will influence their families, the next generation, and society as a whole.” – Arun Prakash

GUVI’s 3 million user achievement not only reflects its success in connecting with a diverse spectrum of learners but also marks the growth of a thriving community. This community, built through shared learning experiences and a commitment to upskilling, represents more than individual achievements—it’s a force for collective change. 

The impact of these learners extends far beyond the classroom. With newfound skills, they are positioned to uplift their families by introducing tech education to their communities and encouraging the next generation to embrace the opportunities available in the digital world. This is especially transformative for students from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, where access to quality tech education is often limited. 

GUVI is laying the foundation for a future where technology reaches every corner of society via the learners of GUVI. As these learners advance in their careers, they will contribute to economic growth, drive innovation, and inspire others to follow in their footsteps, creating a ripple effect that extends far beyond the individual—reshaping industries, communities, and generations to come.

What lies ahead for GUVI?

We are not just an educational platform; we are a catalyst for change. Every learner we empower has the potential to inspire their families, uplift their communities, and shape the next generation of innovators. By equipping individuals with valuable skills, we create a chain reaction that challenges the status quo and fosters a more inclusive future.

As we look ahead, GUVI aims to reach the ambitious goal of 5 million learners. To achieve this, we will expand our vernacular offerings, introduce innovative AI-driven learning tools, and forge partnerships that will amplify our reach and impact.

To support this mission, we recently celebrated significant achievements, including our record-setting SAWiT.AI Learnathon, which brought together over 45,000 women for the largest-ever online AI lesson. These milestones are not mere numbers, they represent our commitment to accessibility and inclusion in tech education. By breaking records, we aim to demonstrate the power of collective learning and the importance of community in education.

Our goal with these initiatives is simple: to empower as many learners as possible and demonstrate how education can transform lives, regardless of background or circumstance. Every milestone we achieve brings us closer to making tech education accessible to all, in line with GUVI’s core mission—’Grab UR Vernacular Imprint.’ We aim to inspire individuals to unlock their potential by learning the language they’re most comfortable with.

Together, we are building a future where barriers are dismantled, and opportunities are accessible to all.
