In a country where education is both a dream and a dilemma for millions, a quiet revolution is reshaping how students and parents engage with it—led by two names committed to genuine change: Sumit Varma and his son, Shiven Varma. Together, they are the driving force behind Schoolyatra and Collegeyatra, two platforms that are transforming access, awareness, and decision-making in Bharat’s evolving educational landscape.
A Mission Rooted in Empathy
Born on 1st April 1975, Sumit Varma has long been a changemaker, driven by one simple belief: every student deserves clarity and guidance. With over 30 years of experience across education, outreach, and technology, he witnessed a recurring problem—parents unsure about choosing the right preschool or school, students feeling lost in the maze of colleges, and educational institutions struggling to engage meaningfully with their audience.
Instead of staying on the sidelines, he decided to become the solution.
Schoolyatra: Empowering Parents to Choose Confidently
Schoolyatra was born out of a pressing need: the lack of a transparent, accessible, and parent-friendly platform for preschools and schools. With scattered information and unverified recommendations creating anxiety, Sumit envisioned a platform that empowers, not overwhelms.
Today, Schoolyatra has evolved into Bharat’s leading school engagement and discovery platform—a trusted companion for parents navigating early and formal education. It offers verified insights, educator-led content, and personalized support, ensuring that parents feel confident and informed every step of the way.
But the journey doesn’t stop with parents. Schoolyatra also fuels a vibrant B2B ecosystem—helping preschools, schools, activity centers, parenting experts, and educators grow their visibility, strengthen their offerings, and foster genuine connections through digital outreach, curated events, and educator-parent programs.
Collegeyatra: Helping Every Student Discover the Right Path
For students transitioning into the world of higher education, Collegeyatra serves as a compass. In a landscape where choices are many but clarity is rare, the platform provides end-to-end guidance—from stream selection and expert-led counseling to verified college data and career roadmaps.
What makes Collegeyatra stand apart isn’t just its features—it’s the mission behind it. Sumit created it to ensure that no student in Bharat is left behind due to misinformation, pressure, or a lack of access to mentorship.
Whether it’s a child in a metro city or a first-generation learner in a Tier 3 district, Collegeyatra is spreading its wings across Bharat, making authentic educational support accessible to all.
A Dynamic Duo Powering the Change
While Sumit brings depth, experience, and a legacy of trust, it’s his 22-year-old son, Shiven Varma, who brings fresh energy and a digital vision to the platforms. A believer in inclusive innovation, Shiven is focused on tech-enabled solutions, data-driven decision-making, and scalable impact models, all aligned with the national vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
His youth brings agility. His approach brings relevance. Together, this father-son duo blends legacy with innovation—making Schoolyatra and Collegeyatra future-ready pillars of Bharat’s education journey.
Silently Impacting Lives, Boldly Reshaping Education
What began as a mission to help a few families has now become a nationwide movement. From Delhi NCR to now spreading its wings across Bharat, the platforms are trusted by lakhs of parents, students, and educators seeking real solutions.
While others compete on metrics, Sumit and Shiven Varma compete on meaning. They’re not just building platforms—they’re building trust, community, and long-term value—quietly rewriting how Bharat learns, dreams, and grows.
