Making lives, making a nation
Creating values in society
For over 25 years now, AB Education (AB Tutorials / AB Education Research & Development) has been empowering thousands of students by giving them the gift of appropriate education; Websites: www.abtutorials. com / www.aberd.co.in
Having held senior positions in many international companies in the area of maritime and international contracts in quasi-legal and operations, Gaurav Bhatara took a sabbatical in 2000 to return to India to take care of family matters after losing his father. Thereafter he worked as a senior partner with an international trading company. However, soon he left to join the exam training enterprise which was started as philanthropy by his mother, eminent educationist Dr. Anila Bhatara, under the guidance of her husband late Col. RK Bhatara, VSM. One thing led to another, and he found his life’s calling in education and developed the exam training vertical AB Tutorials at New Delhi. He later diversified into education research & development with AB Education Research & Development (ABERD), headquartered in Delhi.
EMPOWERING STUDENTS
Since its inception over 4,000 students of AB Tutorials have joined top NLUs and become lawyers in India, and over 1 lakh students have been guided through ABERD, of whom 15,000 were guided in 2019 itself. Till date, Mr. Bhatara has personally mentored over 2,500 students to join top national law universities. What sets AB Education apart is the highest level of personalised attention that each student receives, and the strong holistic approach towards the students. Mr. Bhatara guides students to not only become accomplished lawyers but also accomplished human beings and create value in society. Even his wife Pallavi dedicates her time to helping women become self-reliant through her NGO, Ashi Foundation.
HOLISTIC VIEW OF EDUCATION
Coming back to India after over a decade was a challenge for Mr. Bhatara. Another challenge he had was resisting the temptation of growth at the cost of quality, while retaining the holistic personal approach of the organisation. He quotes his mentor, Buddhist philosopher, educationist, and peace activist, Dr. Daisaku Ikeda, who stated that education “is not only the realising of an individual’s true potential but also the transmission of humanity from one generation to another.”
