It was when Akkshay Chugh was trying to clear the GMAT exam, for the second time, while he was an investment banker that the idea to start StudyPal.co struck him. “The second time around, I decided to approach my test prep more strategically and study with a partner from work. Turns out he was the person I needed to clear my doubts.

Studying post a long day’s work was difficult but knowing that I had someone else in the same boat as me kept me going. It made me more disciplined and motivated me to stick to the schedule as we met up three times a week to keep a tab on each other’s progress. I found these attributes to be crucial in preparing for the GMAT,” explains Chugh.
