Building strong academic foundations since 2003

Prasad Tutor Group began with just one student — Alpa Chadva.

At the time, Krunal was unsure about taking up a conventional job. His father encouraged him to consider teaching and build something of his own. What started as home tuition for one student soon grew through word of mouth. A few more students joined, and with every student, Krunal’s interest in teaching became stronger.

A major turning point came when a tuition class in the neighbourhood closed. Around 17 of their students joined Krunal, who was already teaching approximately 18 students. His small group quickly grew to around 35 students.

As the number of students increased, Krunal rented his first classroom. Some of his senior students were given opportunities to help teach younger learners, and gradually a small teaching team began to take shape.

Krunal then focused strongly on Standards 9 and 10, particularly supporting students who lacked confidence or were struggling academically. His approach was to understand each student’s difficulties, strengthen the basics, practise consistently and provide personal attention. At the time, he became known locally for his bold “pass or fees back” commitment.

The name “Prasad Sir” also became familiar among students and parents. “Prasad” was the name associated with the family home, and over time that identity grew into Prasad Tutor Group — PTG.

Krunal’s father remained an important source of support during the early journey. After his father passed away, teaching and his students became an even bigger part of Krunal’s life. He spent his days surrounded by students, teaching and building a learning community that went far beyond a conventional tuition class.

Pooja joined Krunal in the journey of PTG and became an important part of building the group together.

As PTG continued to grow, Pooja took responsibility for sections including Standards 9 and 10, while Krunal expanded his focus to the college section. Another classroom was added, more teachers joined, and PTG continued to grow through student and parent recommendations.

At its peak, PTG was teaching approximately 350–400 students in a year.

But growth was never only about numbers.

From students who struggled with the basics to high-achieving students aiming for stronger percentages, the philosophy remained the same: meet every learner at their level and help them move forward.
