NPrep is an AI-powered edtech startup founded in 2024, focused on revolutionizing nursing education and employability in India by providing personalized skilling, exam preparation, and placement services for nursing students and professionals.[1][2][3][4] It serves aspirants from tier II and III cities targeting government and private nursing jobs like NORCET, RRB, ESIC, and others, solving key barriers such as inaccessible quality training through adaptive learning (over 1,300 hours of content), simulated clinical scenarios, mock interviews, resume building, and hospital partnerships.[2][3][4] With rapid growth—scaling from 10,000 to 40,000 users in six months, 2 million monthly learners, and over 60% of students clearing top exams like NORCET in 2024—NPrep recently raised an undisclosed pre-seed round led by All In Capital, with IIMA Ventures and others, to expand courses, AI platforms, and placements.[2][3][4]
NPrep was co-founded in 2024 in Jodhpur by three doctors from AIIMS Jodhpur—Prince Kaushik (CEO), Utkarsh Paliwal, and Gourav Khurana (noted as Gourav in some sources)—alongside AI/ML expert Shrey Gupta, blending medical expertise with technology to address gaps in nursing education.[2][3][5] The idea emerged from their deep understanding of challenges faced by nursing students, particularly in tier II/III cities, including limited access to personalized training and job readiness tools, leading to a platform that started with online coaching for competitive exams and evolved into a full skilling and placement solution.[2][3][4] Early traction was strong, with fourfold user growth in six months to 40,000, over 600 students placed as Nursing Officers in government hospitals, and proven outcomes in exams like NORCET and ESIC, fueling their pre-seed funding in 2025.[2][3][4]
NPrep rides the edtech boom in India's healthcare skilling sector, where a shortage of qualified nurses (amid growing demand from hospitals) meets rising AI adoption for personalized education, especially post-pandemic digital shifts.[1][2][5] Timing is ideal with government pushes for nursing recruitment (e.g., NORCET, ESIC exams) and millions of aspirants underserved in non-metro areas, amplified by affordable mobile penetration and AI tools bridging urban-rural gaps.[3][4][5] Market forces like healthcare expansion and employability focus favor it, as NPrep influences the ecosystem by upskilling tier II/III talent, boosting placement trust, and setting a model for AI-medical hybrids—over 600 placements already signal ecosystem impact.[2][4]
NPrep's blend of doctor-led insights and AI positions it for explosive growth, with FY26 domestic placement expansion and FY27 international push leveraging its 40K-user momentum and fresh funding.[2] Trends like AI-driven hyper-personalization in edtech, nursing shortages, and global healthcare demand will shape its path, potentially evolving it into a full-stack nursing career platform influencing India's 2M+ aspirants. As a 2024 launch already delivering exam clearances and jobs, NPrep exemplifies how targeted edtech can transform underserved professions, with its early traction hinting at category leadership ahead.[2][3][4]
