I’m building CA Saarthi — a free, AI-native CA Foundation prep platform designed so every aspirant gets a study plan that fits their pace.
Every year, around 2 lakh students sit for the CA Foundation exam. The default options look like this: pay ₹30,000–50,000 for coaching, or download a recorded-lecture app and hope something sticks. Neither is personalised — they’re all running the same syllabus at the same pace for everyone.
I built CA Saarthi because the thing that actually helps an aspirant pass is boring — a plan that reflects their level, their college schedule, and their weak topics. AI finally makes that personalisation possible at near-zero cost. So I made it free.
Key product decisions behind CA Saarthi.
Instead of a 45-minute test before showing anything, the diagnostic adapts in 15–25 questions to infer your level. Faster start, less drop-off.
CA Foundation is a handwritten subjective paper, but every prep app grades MCQs only. Snap & Check lets you photograph your answer and get an AI grade in 30 seconds.
The plan rewrites itself every week based on your performance and college schedule. Daily focus topics, not an endless to-do list.
Drill mode, weak-area focus, revision, and full-length mocks — all ICAI-pattern. One library, four ways to use it.
