Manan Sakhuja

9 Years Leading Operations, Academics & Sales | Scaled EdTech from 0 to 50k+

Bengaluru, India

Hey! I'm Manan. In 2015, I hit the shop floor at Tega Industries, redesigning machinery fleets, importing equipment from China and Turkey, and slashing maintenance spend by 75%. That engineering rigor fueled my 2017 entrepreneurial double-act: xAutomation (IoT Predictive-maintenance startup) translating sensor data into uptime and Nubtree, a K10 tutoring venture that booked ₹15 lakh in revenue over two academic years.

In 2020, I joined ODA Class as a Program Manager/Founding Member and helped grow a raw idea into India's most-loved live-learning platform. I architected academic operations for 12,000+ Long term Student, delivered 1,600+ high-impact sessions rated by 3lac+ students, and scaled the user base to 50k+ user. By codifying teacher-onboarding SOPs, optimizing cohort analytics, and refining curriculum cadence, I drove 45% annual retention and a ₹20k average ticket across 5,000+ enrollments, 4 consecutive years.

Nine years on, I blend engineering discipline, data-driven growth, and classroom empathy to build products, processes, and teams that turn bold ideas into sustainable impact.
