Leapup Edutech was founded in 2016 by Harshit Shah and Ronak Gala — two finance practitioners who saw a gap that academia wasn't closing. Harshit, a CA and LLB with 12+ years of teaching experience across NM College and NMIMS, saw firsthand that students were graduating without the skills the industry actually needed. Ronak, a portfolio manager and capital markets expert, brought the markets side of the equation. Together they built what became Leapup — starting small, staying consistent, and compounding quietly over nearly a decade.
Today, Leapup runs two fundamentally different use cases - distinct learner profiles, distinct delivery models, both powered by Edmingle.

Leapup supplies curriculum, faculty, and full delivery infrastructure to partner colleges under India's NEP framework — helping institutions offer industry-relevant finance programs to their students.
The institutional arm is arguably the most ambitious use case. Leapup partners with colleges to supply curriculum, faculty, and full delivery infrastructure for finance programs under India's NEP framework. Select partner institutions run their own dedicated Edmingle setups, through Leapup as part of this model. Many more partner institutions are served directly through the primary Leapup account.
Leapup's story isn't one of a sudden breakthrough. It's the story of two operators who spent nearly a decade running small, disciplined experiments — testing what worked, doubling down on it, and never over-committing before the market validated the direction. When Harshit and Ronak came to Edmingle in August 2021, they were a single CFA prep business. What they needed was a platform that could start where they were — and scale with them wherever they went next.
What followed was new use cases, new college partnerships, and a 30× revenue jump in a single year. The platform didn't need to change. The team just kept building — and Edmingle kept up.
Leapup has been on Edmingle since August 2021 — making them one of the longest-tenured founding relationships in Edmingle's history. They came in as a small CFA prep business and stayed through every version of the product, every phase of their own growth. What made them stay? Harshit puts it simply: the platform is easy enough that their students experience it every day without friction — and the support is fast enough that when something breaks, it gets fixed before it becomes a problem. Five years in, it's not a complaint.
"Edmingle is not just an LMS. It's a complete training operations platform — it cuts across acquisition, engagement, retention, and even monetisation. Anyone building a training business doesn't need to look outside this ecosystem."

EDMINGLE ACROSS USE CASES
The most impressive thing about Leapup's Edmingle setup isn't the scale. It's the variety. B2C professional training for CFA aspirants, and institutional delivery for college students under the NEP framework. Each of these is fundamentally different in how learners enroll, how content is delivered, and what outcomes matter. Edmingle supports both without forcing Leapup to stitch together a patchwork of different tools. "The two models are genuinely distinct," Harshit explained. "Different learner profiles, different delivery models, different expectations. But Edmingle's modules are flexible enough to serve both of them seamlessly."
Two features stand out in particular. The first is automatic recording of every live session. Leapup team doesn't need to set up a separate live session delivery system, manually upload files, or chase instructors for their session recordings. The moment a class ends, the recording is on the platform and available to any student who missed it.
The second is precise video navigation within recorded content, which lets a student jump straight to the exact moment they need to revisit. For an exam prep audience working through dense financial concepts, that matters more than it sounds. These aren't conveniences. They're table stakes.
Running multiple delivery models means things occasionally go wrong. What Leapup found over five years is that the team at Edmingle treats their problems as Edmingle's own problems. When something needs escalating, it gets escalated.
That kind of access is what makes a five-year relationship work. Not just the technology, but the willingness to pick up the phone. When you're running 2,500+ live sessions a year across B2C and institutional programs, strong support isn't optional. It's what Edmingle has consistently provided.
