Childhood friends Mahesh Tharani and Arun Jagannathan spent their early days in Vadodara, Gujarat, and realised the importance of language early on. Seeing the advantage of knowing English in the corporate sector, they started English For India in 2017. The startup runs offline training sessions for companies to upskill their workforce.
