Zell Education: Reshaping the Future of Financial Education In India

Pratham Barot, Co-Founder & CEO, Zell Education

Finance learning in India is gaining immense traction, driven by a number of factors, presenting financial learning platforms with opportunities to contribute productively to the country’s rising thirst for financial literacy. These platforms play a pivotal role in empowering individuals to make informed decisions about investments, savings, and budgeting, bridging the existing knowledge gap by providing accessible and structured courses tailored to various skill levels. Where on the one hand there is a rise in the demand for specialized financial learning opportunities, on the other, there is also a need to address the looming challenges of lack of practical knowledge, outdated curriculum, and insufficient mentorship. This is what the Mumbai-based Zell Education is striving to accomplish. By offering all its enrolled students a range of industry-relevant courses, experienced mentors, and practical learning opportunities, the firm is creating a learning experience where the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application of the learned concepts is bridged. 

Education and Mentorship Combined
Founded to provide a comprehensive learning experience, Zell Education offers a broad range of courses that are specially designed to be relevant to the current financial landscape. Courses offered by Zell Education are categorised into prep certification and PG programs, to cater to the specific educational needs of the students. Under the ambit of its Prep certification courses, the company offers courses like ACCA, CFA, CMA, CPA, FRM, and DiplFRS, whereas under the scope of its PG programs, courses like PG Program in ESG and PG Program in Investment Banking are covered.

“We stand out in this growing and increasingly competitive industry because of our globally recognized certifications, our experienced faculty, our personalized mentorship approach, and a strong focus on career advancement through placement support”, shares Pratham Barot, Co-Founder & CEO, Zell Education.

Zell Education places a strong focus on providing quality education, with regularly updated curriculums that are ensured to align with the evolving industry norms, expectations, and changes. The learning experience is made more effective for the students by integrating interactive learning modules, providing access to global networks, and dedicated career counselling services. A combination of these facilities help students make the most out of their course journeys, getting guidance at every step to make the learning process more immersive and engaging for all. 

Going beyond education, Zell Education excels in the domain because of its focus on mentoring students, supporting them through their learning journeys, while also providing comprehensive placement support. With a stellar 85 percent pass rate, over a hundred global partners, high student satisfaction rate, as well as a record of securing high average hiring packages, the company has emerged as a promising financial education platform.

“Our student-centric engagement process ensures personalized guidance at every stage of the learning journey. From enrollment to certification, our team supports students through regular mentoring sessions, doubt-solving classes, and career readiness workshops”, adds Anant Bengani, Co-Founder & Executive Director, Zell Education.​

The company stands out for extending the educational experience beyond the conventional classroom paradigm, incorporating live events with industry partners to provide an enriching learning experience to the students. Its recent organization of the Finance Frontier Conclave stands as a testament to the company’s commitment, wherein in collaboration with EY, Zell Education created a knowledge-sharing event where valuable insights and unique networking opportunities were provided to the students. Leveraging experiences such as these, students at Zell Education are equipped with the tools to excel in the world of finance.
