AI-powered eLearning app

Overview

Next Toppers, founded in 2023, is an innovative educational app designed for students in grades 9 to 12, focused on delivering structured, high-quality learning aligned with the CBSE curriculum. The platform was created by three passionate educators, Prashant Kirad, Shobhit Nirwan, and Digraj Singh Rajput, who wanted to make education more accessible, effective, and engaging for students across India.

Their journey began on YouTube, where they shared easy-to-understand, relatable videos on complex topics. Their clear teaching methods and exam-oriented strategies quickly attracted millions of students and helped build a massive student following. However, YouTube’s limitations, such as lack of structured courses, limited interaction, and branding restrictions, became barriers to their vision. After experimenting with several platforms, the team partnered with EduCrypt, a trusted AWS Cloud Partner, to build a dedicated app that could handle scale and deliver a complete student-first experience. Today, the Next Toppers app effortlessly hosts 1 to 1.5 lakh students live at a time, offering curated lectures, interactive tools, real-time doubt-solving, performance analytics, and a seamless learning experience, marking a new era in digital education.
