In an exclusive interview with Startup Pedia, entrepreneur Kranhti Kumar Ganta shared his journey from a compact village in Andhra Pradesh to becoming a founder and shaping the future of India’s education and career guidance ecosystem.
A college dropout and a self-built marketing professional, today Kranhti is the brains behind one of India’s rapidest-evolving edu-tech and counselling platforms. His story is not about defying odds, but about understanding them deeply and building solutions that bridge the gaps young Indians struggle with every day.
In the interview, he opened up about his journey, struggles, and the mission behind his startup, DreamAhead.
A dropout with a dream and the communication skills to match
Growing up in a compact village in Andhra Pradesh, higher education and corporate careers were distant dreams for most. For Kranthi, these barriers felt even stronger when he dropped out of college. The world rarely gives second chances to dropouts, but he realised rapid that skills do.
His life alterd when he discovered his natural ability to communicate powerfully and clearly, a skill that allowed him to connect with clients effortlessly and carve a place for himself in the corporate world.
“I did not have a degree, but I could explain things simply. That skill became my identity,” Kranthi notified Startup Pedia.
It was this ability, combined with an intense hunger to grow, that assisted him land roles in marketing and the edtech indusattempt, where he worked for more than five years. However, this experience opened his eyes to something deeper and disturbing.

The realisation that alterd everything
While working in edtech, Kranthi noticed a troubling pattern. Parents were anxious, confapplyd, and were always desperately searching for clarity regarding their children’s future. On the other side, students were equally lost.
Even after completing so-called job-oriented courses and degrees, thousands of young people were concludeing up unemployed, or worse, directionless.
Kranthi recalled interacting with students who had completed expensive courses yet lacked the right guidance or skill-building strategies to succeed.
“Parents were stressed, students were demotivated. Everyone was investing time and money, but very few were obtainting results,” he shared.
The more he observed, the stronger his conviction grew that India didn’t have a problem of resources, but a problem of direction.
“We necessary to guide them correctly” — The birth of DreamAhead
By 2024, Kranthi knew he couldn’t just watch from the sidelines anymore. He invested ₹10 lakhs, a significant personal risk into building what he envisioned as a complete ecosystem for clarity-based learning, parenting, and career growth.
DreamAhead Learning Hub was born with a simple but powerful mission:
“We have to give the right information to parents and students. If they obtain clarity, everything else falls into place,” Kranthi notified Startup Pedia.
