Built by someone who walked the same path
Shrey Aadi is not a startup. It is a second innings — built by a retired Colonel to give the next generation a genuine, expert-backed advantage in defence exam preparation.

Why a Colonel built a platform
I sat the NDA exam myself. I studied in a Sainik School. I served in the Army for 33 years, and for a portion of that time I was the Registrar at Sainik School Goalpara — responsible for exactly the kind of students who come to Shrey Aadi today.
When I retired, I saw what the market offered these students: generic test-prep apps that lumped defence exam aspirants in with JEE and NEET students, ran on outdated question banks, and offered no real expertise. Nobody who had actually served was building for them.
So I built Shrey Aadi. Not a generic EdTech product — a precision tool for NDA, CDS, AFCAT, Sainik School, RIMC and CBSE students, run by people who know what these exams actually test and why they matter.
Every question in the bank has been reviewed. Every explanation has been calibrated against the actual exam syllabi. The marking schemes, the difficulty grading, the practice series — all of it is shaped by 33 years of military experience, not a product manager's instinct.

India produces extraordinary military officers. The path to becoming one starts early — often at 16 in a Sainik School entrance exam, or at 17 preparing for NDA. We exist to make that path clearer, fairer, and more intelligent for every student, regardless of whether they have access to a great coaching institute.
Precision over breadth
We do not cover every exam. We cover defence exams — NDA, CDS, AFCAT, CAPF, Sainik School, RIMC, Military School entrances, and supporting CBSE — and we cover them properly.
Explanations that teach, not just mark
Every question has a three-level explanation cascade: concept hint, memory aid, then full worked solution. Authored by subject experts (some AI-assisted at draft time, all human-reviewed before publishing) — so a student who gets a question wrong leaves knowing the principle, not just the answer.
Transparent to parents and teachers
Parents see exactly what their child is practising, how they're improving, and where they're weak. Teachers get dashboards that identify struggling students before the exam, not after.
Privacy first — DPDP compliant
Built under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act. We collect only what is necessary, give parents consent controls over their children's data, and never sell data to third parties.
Question bank that grows
Over 22,000 questions across all defence exams, with PYQ papers going back 15+ years. Every question has a human-verified answer key and a three-level expert-authored explanation.
Built for institutions too
Schools and coaching centres can use Shrey Aadi as a white-label practice platform — with teacher dashboards, batch management, parent portals, and result exports.
22,000+ questions. 3-level explanations. Parent portal. Full access for 15 days, completely free. NDA, CDS, AFCAT, Sainik School & more.

Platform concept & first build
After retiring from 33 years of service, Col Vishal Sharma began developing the question bank and platform architecture. The focus: build something that a Sainik School student in a tier-3 town could use with the same confidence as a student at a premium Delhi coaching institute.
AI integration & question bank growth
AI-assisted explanation authoring was integrated to scale our subject experts' work — large language models propose drafts calibrated against official NDA, CDS and AFCAT syllabi, then humans review and publish. The question bank crossed 10,000 human-verified questions across all major defence exams.
Full platform launch
Student app, teacher dashboard, parent portal, and school advisory module launched under shreyaadi.co.in. Razorpay-powered subscriptions, DPDP-compliant consent flows, and a 15-day free trial to let students evaluate before paying.
22,000+ questions & PYQ extraction
The platform now holds over 22,000 questions with human-verified answer keys, covering 15+ years of PYQ papers for NDA, CDS, AFCAT, and JEE exams. Adaptive practice series, daily rank tracking, and performance analytics are live.
