GyanDhan, the education financing platform, announced the elevation of Aman Jain to the role of Co-founder. He now joins Ankit Mehra and Jainesh Sinha as the third Co-founder of GyanDhan.
An alumnus of IIT Kanpur, Aman joined GyanDhan before the company disbursed its first education loan, driven by a shared vision to make higher education more accessible through innovative financial products. From those early days, Aman took charge of marketing and branding, helping establish GyanDhan as a trusted and student-centric name in education financing—transforming an opaque process into a transparent and empowering experience for thousands of students.
In recent years, Aman has expanded his role to lead strategic partnerships, building GyanDhan’s B2B ecosystem across 30+ cities and launching a SaaS+ platform that helps study abroad consultants manage and streamline the loan process for their students.
Ankit Mehra, Co-founder and CEO, GyanDhan said, “Aman has been an integral part of GyanDhan since its inception. His contributions span brand, growth, and strategic execution – but more importantly, he has consistently demonstrated deep ownership of our mission and culture. Elevating him to the role of Co-founder is a formal recognition of the leadership and commitment he has shown over the years.”
Jainesh Sinha, Co-founder and COO, GyanDhan said, “Aman has played a pivotal role in scaling and optimizing our marketing, operations, and partnerships—bringing intent, dedication, and consistency to every part of the business. His ability to balance execution with empathy has shaped how GyanDhan works, both internally and externally. This title just makes official what everyone at GyanDhan already knows—he’s been a co-founder in spirit all along.”
Aman Jain, Co-founder, GyanDhan said, “Being named Co-founder is a deeply meaningful recognition of a journey I’ve been grateful to be part of since the very beginning. Building GyanDhan alongside Ankit and Jainesh has been both fulfilling and inspiring—grounded in trust, shared purpose, and genuine friendship. I’m thankful for their support over the years and look forward to continuing this mission together.”
This announcement follows GyanDhan’s recent ₹50 crore fundraise from Classplus and Pravega Ventures, which will power the company’s next phase of growth.
