New Delhi: GyanDhan, an education financing platform, has officially elevated Aman Jain to the role of Co-founder, acknowledging his long-standing commitment and critical contributions to the company’s journey since its inception. Aman now joins Ankit Mehra and Jainesh Sinha as the third co-founder of GyanDhan.
An alumnus of IIT Kanpur, Aman Jain joined GyanDhan at a time when the platform had yet to disburse its first loan. Inspired by a shared mission to make higher education more accessible through innovative financial solutions, Aman played a pivotal role in shaping the company’s brand, voice, and outreach. His efforts in transforming the student loan process into a transparent, tech-enabled, and student-first experience have helped GyanDhan become a trusted name in the education financing ecosystem.
Over the years, Aman has taken on expanded responsibilities, spearheading strategic partnerships, B2B ecosystem growth across 30+ cities, and launching a SaaS+ platform that empowers study abroad consultants to efficiently manage loan processes for students.
“Aman has been an integral part of GyanDhan since its inception. His contributions span brand, growth, and strategic execution — but more importantly, he has consistently demonstrated deep ownership of our mission and culture. Elevating him to the role of Co-founder is a formal recognition of the leadership and commitment he has shown over the years,” said Ankit Mehra, Co-founder and CEO of GyanDhan.
“Aman has played a pivotal role in scaling and optimizing our marketing, operations, and partnerships—bringing intent, dedication, and consistency to every part of the business. His ability to balance execution with empathy has shaped how GyanDhan works, both internally and externally. This title just makes official what everyone at GyanDhan already knows—he’s been a co-founder in spirit all along,” said Jainesh Sinha, Co-founder and COO of GyanDhan.
“Being named Co-founder is a deeply meaningful recognition of a journey I’ve been grateful to be part of since the very beginning. Building GyanDhan alongside Ankit and Jainesh has been both fulfilling and inspiring—grounded in trust, shared purpose, and genuine friendship. I’m thankful for their support over the years and look forward to continuing this mission together,” said Aman Jain, Co-founder, GyanDhan.
This announcement follows GyanDhan’s recent INR 50 crore fundraise led by Classplus and Pravega Ventures, which will fuel the company’s next phase of growth. With this capital infusion, GyanDhan plans to:
- Scale its consultant partnership network and further invest in technology to streamline the student financing experience
- Expand physical operations to over 50 Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities
- Double its roster of partnered banks and NBFCs from 15 to 30
- Strengthen its team across technology, credit, and sales
- Invest in community outreach through seminars, student workshops, and financial literacy initiatives
Aman’s elevation reflects not just individual achievement, but GyanDhan’s evolving leadership philosophy as it enters a transformative growth phase—one that remains rooted in purpose, collaboration, and inclusive impact.
