You finally get to be the author of your own novel. Deep! Isn’t it? It must be and that is because Business Outreach Magazine has someone remarkable behind the curtains. We are just as thrilled as you are when we introduce CA Sripal Jain to our readers and motivators.
A Brief Background :
The man is a form of life itself which is defined as an educationist, a leader believing in equity and an entrepreneur who knows what ‘hustle’ has under its sleeves. We as a business magazine always look out for visionaries who have walked their feet on the fire of challenges. Sripal Jain after successfully qualifying to pursue a professional career as a Chartered Accountant got driven towards the path of teaching and entrepreneurship.
Well! It is true when they say that teachers are the ones shaping the future of a nation. It was the moment of realization when Sripal started his journey to guide his first batch of 3 students for their CA examinations, he found himself more than just excited to know about their success. And still over a decade later, Sripal continues to ponder, “Have I done enough for my students?”
After claiming victory over the feat to prefix “CA” before his name, Sripal back in the day was also offered impressive salary packages from some of the top companies in India. But had he chosen that path, he could have missed out on the legacy that he created for himself, and possibly thousands of students would have been in the dark about their successful career possibilities.
As a student with below average academic prowess and denied an issue of Hall Ticket to appear for his class 12, he was given a choice to either ace his CA exam or lead a life of financial hardships. Now, he recollects that period of his time, and has reasons to believe that tough times make one stronger and better. Difficult times teaches one the best lessons of life.
Struggles and Success Story :
Dominating the table of success does not equate to the fact that there hasn’t been any ups and downs. Sripal has had multiple roadblocks in his life before reaching every milestone of success. When he started his small tuition center with the help of his “godfather” – whom he addressed as “Agarwal uncle” with love, it was heartbreaking to see it shut down owing to major accidents and some personal financial crunches. Sripal still remembers what his Agarwal uncle told him, “All profits are yours; losses are mine”. It was overwhelming to receive such faith from someone. When a person devotes their trust upon you, you are accountable to their support. Bouncing back to action shortly soon, Sripal was about to restore the business and win the trust of his well-wishers and his “godfather”.

Ever since, the free workshop has mentored about 7.5 lakhs students in India and UAE.
Acknowledging the fact that teachers are the backbone of a strong education system, Sripal launched – TEGS or The Education Growth Summit as a networking conference for educators and management representatives to discuss the success paths of students and deliberate the evolving trends in the industry of education.
Held first in September 2019, the event was attended by more than 900 attendees at The Lalit Ashok, Bangalore and more than 100 educators attended TEGS at Sharjah, UAE in January of 2020. Sripal also introduced STEPS which is a scholarship program that offers up to Rs. 5,00,000 worth benefits to selected students who are having goals for further studies in professional streams.
Every parent always looks out for the best for their child and often stresses about their future.
Sripal over his decade of experience has come in conversation with numerable such parents who are worried about their child struggling to adapt to various syllabus, teaching methodologies, change in study locations, overlapping time schedules, exams and most importantly bringing out time for recreational activities for personal growth and picturing some beautiful childhood memories.
This compelled Sripal to establish ‘The Academic City’ which is an educational cocoon that shares diversity, inclusion, and a beacon of academic and personality development. He has sculpted ‘The Academic City’ keeping his own childhood experiences in mind and knowing that every child is unique and innovative in their own ways.
The Academic City is that safe space for those parents and students who want to eradicate commuting time to reach places for learning or for recreation activities. With a 9-acre campus built with fully residential state of the art infrastructure aimed towards academic growth coupled with sports and recreational facilities, students are whole-heartedly welcomed.
All under one roof, The Academic City undoubtedly provides the best teachers, best education, best schools, and the best learning environment. The school also prepares students for competitive exams like NATA, CLAT, CA Foundation, JEE, NEET, SAT and IELTS under the guidance of expert leadership.
