About EcoNiti
EcoNiti began with a simple conviction: that a serious economics student deserves to be taught personally — not processed at scale. A dedicated teacher, real mentorship, and a platform that takes that personal attention even further.

The origin
How EcoNiti was built — and why it had to be.
Behind the scenes
EcoNiti — Dr. Komal teaching
-
The beginning
A teacher who wanted more for her students
Dr. Komal Sahai had been teaching economics for years — to undergraduates, postgraduates and competitive-exam aspirants. She kept seeing the same thing: students learn best when teaching is built around them. But personal attention is usually the first thing coaching gives up. So she delivered it herself — at the level of teaching, and of mentorship.
-
A question
What if the tests could be personal too?
Then Manas Kumar Maji, a software developer of twelve years, asked a question. A good teacher adapts to each student — but personalising every student's practice by hand eventually becomes impossible. What if the tests themselves could adapt, the way a teacher does?
-
The platform
Xaptiq is born
That question became Xaptiq — an adaptive platform that calibrates each test to where a student actually is. Dr. Komal's personalised teaching, enhanced by a platform that carries that personalisation into the practice itself.

Today
A companion, not a factory
EcoNiti is that combination: a dedicated, qualified teacher and a platform that takes personalisation further. It is not a coaching factory. It is not a content warehouse. It is a learning companion — for students who deserve preparation as serious as the exam they're facing.
EcoNiti + Xaptiq
A learning companion, not a coaching factory.
Dr. Komal teaches and mentors personally. Technology enters only where it earns its place — when personalising every student's practice by hand becomes too costly for one person to do well. That's what Xaptiq is for: next-level personalisation, at the level of the tests.
What Dr. Komal brings
Conceptual clarity — taught from first principles.
Genuine subject expertise.
An approachable teaching style.
Personalised mentorship, available when you need it.
What Xaptiq adds
Adaptive tests, calibrated to your level.
Personalisation at a scale a person can't match by hand.
Detailed evaluation and feedback after every test.
Next-level personalisation, where it's needed most.
The team
Built by two people.
An economist who teaches. An engineer who builds. EcoNiti is what happens when those two obsessions point at the same problem — your preparation.
Dr. Komal Sahai holds a PhD in Economics from the Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi, a Master's from the Delhi School of Economics, and a Bachelor's from Miranda House, Delhi University. She taught economics at O.P. Jindal Global University for three years before founding EcoNiti, and has mentored undergraduate, postgraduate and competitive-exam students throughout.

And made stronger by teachers who care.
EcoNiti stays small on purpose, but the teaching is not solitary. Our faculty bring depth in quantitative economics, core theory, public policy and exam-focused practice, so students learn from people who understand both the subject and the pressure of preparation.

What we stand for
Three things we believe in.
Value 01
01Specialisation over scale
We teach five economics exams — not every exam under the sun. Depth in one discipline beats shallow coverage of many.
Value 02
02Personalisation over broadcast
Every student's preparation is different. Dr. Komal engages with you directly, and Xaptiq enhances that — adapting the practice to your level. We don't send the same plan to a thousand students.
Value 03
03Access over exclusivity
Our Scholars Programme offers discounted access to students who need it, so cost isn't the thing that decides who gets a serious economics education.
