About ALLEN Digital

Allen Digital was created as a strategic partnership between Allen Careers Institute and Bodhi Tree Systems to ensure tech enablement for millions of students. Allen Digital aims to build an EdTech platform to provide students with everything a classroom cannot. We have the backing of some of the best names in – media, business, education and technology.

About ALLEN Careers

Allen Career Institute has been in the coaching sector for the last 35 years and has earned an undisputed market leader position in preparation for JEE (Main+Advanced), NEET, Class VI to X, NTSE, and Olympiads.

Traditional coaching setups have a strong consumer proposition regarding outcomes, but their geographic presence limits them, and the classroom journey is not personalised. Digital education companies have predominantly solved access but have yet to have much success in delivering deep engagement, comprehension, and outcomes. We at Allen Digital believe that we can take the best of both traditional classrooms and digital technologies and create an education platform that takes the application of technology more profoundly into the student journey and bring learning outcomes at scale.
