ShikshaBuddy · Our journey
A company built for educational organisations — and the people behind it
Trust comes from showing up year after year: shipping dependable software, standing beside administrators during peak seasons, and building a team culture where professionalism and care for education go hand in hand.
Layba Qureshi
Chief Executive Officer
Layba leads ShikshaBuddy with a steady focus on long-term partnerships with educational institutions, transparent delivery, and teams that treat every deployment as part of a shared mission — not a one-off transaction.
How we work
Professional team. Healthy environment. Lasting trust.
We invest in a professional, respectful workplace where engineering, product, and customer success collaborate openly. Clear ownership, constructive feedback, and room to learn keep quality high and burnout low — so the same people you meet during onboarding are the ones who support you through exams, admissions, and reporting cycles.
A healthy work culture is not a side project here: it is how we stay reliable for institutions that cannot afford drama or churn when the academic calendar is unforgiving. We hire for expertise and character, document what we promise, and align incentives with outcomes educational organisations can actually measure.
Cross-functional professionalism
Product, engineering, and success speak the same language as your registrar and IT — fewer handoffs, faster resolutions.
Respect and wellbeing
We set sustainable pace and expectations so teams stay sharp when institutions need us most.
Accountability to commitments
What we document in evaluation is what we build toward — no surprise scope or opaque timelines.
Education-first mindset
We hire people who care about outcomes in classrooms and offices, not only tickets closed.
