Ananya Sharma
Co-founder, Curriculum
Eight years building web products. Writes most of our frontend track and still teaches one batch every term.
How this started
In 2023, three of us were taking evening classes for students who couldn't afford a coaching centre. Twelve learners, one borrowed classroom, a whiteboard that never wiped clean. Nine of those twelve were placed within a year.
The format worked because it was small and live. People could interrupt, ask the dumb question, and get an answer that same evening. Recorded video alone never did that.
SkillNova is that classroom, made bigger without losing the part that mattered. Every course still runs live, every batch still has a trainer who reads your code, and every session is recorded so you can watch it again at 2 AM before a test.
What we believe
- You learn by building, not by watching someone else build.
- A trainer who has shipped real work teaches better than a script.
- Feedback within a day beats perfect feedback next month.
- Price should not be the reason someone stays untrained.
How a course runs
-
1
Live class, twice a week
90 minutes with your trainer. Cameras optional, questions expected.
-
2
Assignment after each topic
You build something small. Your trainer reads it and writes back.
-
3
A project at the end
One substantial build that goes on your resume, reviewed line by line.

What learners say
I had watched maybe forty hours of free video before this and built nothing. Two months in here and I had three projects running.
The assignment feedback is the part worth paying for. Someone actually read my code and told me why it was slow.
I work full time. Classes are at 8 PM and recorded, so missing one never set me back.
Sit in on a class before you pay.
Every course has one free session open to anyone.
