Hayagriva Academy (Opc) Private Limited

Down at No 7 on Kalaivanar Salai in Chitlapakkam, that’s where you’ll find our academy. It’s a one-person company, or OPC, so it’s a pretty tight operation. I started this because I wanted to create a place for learning that felt a bit more personal than the big institutions. It’s located in a regular neighborhood, so it’s not intimidating for people to come by. We focus on teaching and training, though the specific subjects vary depending on what’s needed. The office is basically one big room filled with books and a few desks. It gets a bit noisy when there are students around, but that’s the point. I handle most of the admin work myself, from answering the phone to fixing the computer when it acts up. Chitlapakkam is a nice area, and being on Kalaivanar Salai makes us easy to reach. It’s not a polished corporate school. There are stacks of papers everywhere and the chairs don't always match. But we get the teaching done. I don't believe in using big marketing phrases to get people in the door. I just tell them what we can do and let the results speak. It’s a lot of long hours, especially in the evenings, but it’s worth it to see someone finally understand a difficult concept. It’s just me and a few part-time helpers.
