Student Turns Telegram Admission Queries Into Profitable ₹10 Lakh Startup
Hemkesh noticed that students had many questions about newer college admissions.
He and his team discussed these questions in a Telegram group.
They later turned the group into a company called Delta Education.
The company helps students prepare for unusual tests and personal interviews.
Its first program had more than 50 paying customers.
It earned over ₹2 lakh in its first year.
Later, the business recorded ₹10 lakh in revenue in one financial year.
Hemkesh built the company while continuing his studies and it now hires some students as paid interns.
Hemkesh transformed admission discussions in a Telegram community into Delta Education by February 2024.
Delta Education created tailored test series and preparation programs for non-standardized admissions and personal interviews.
Its first 2024 program attracted more than 50 paying customers and generated over ₹2 lakh in its initial year.

The bootstrapped startup recorded ₹10 lakh in revenue last financial year and hired three to four Scaler students as paid interns.
