Meet Venkat Punjabi, the Founder and Director of VgyanHub
Venkat Punjabi has defined and dedicated his career to education. He started his journey as a physics lecturer in 2013 at Adarsh Polytechnic College, Dhule. Over the years, Venkat has been associated with numerous educational institutions ranging from junior colleges to master’s programs. After accumulating in-depth experience in the field of teaching, Venkat decided to take a step further and founded “Takshashila Physics Academy” in Dhule, Maharashtra, in the year 2015. He aimed to provide specialized coaching for competitive exams like CET, NEET, and JEE in order to help aspirants achieve their dream of a brighter future. His academy has since become a hallmark of educational excellence.
VgyanHub, the next cornerstone in Venkat’s contribution toward helping students aspiring to get into engineering or other career options with Physics at their core, is a testament to his vision. Founded in 2023 in Dhule, the institution is rapidly growing and is in the process of setting up a base in Pune within one year, demonstrating its potential for further expansion.
Venkat Punjabi’s academic pursuits and achievements clearly highlight the focus and relentless efforts he puts in. After completing the B.Sc. in Physics from Z.B. Patil College, Dhule, in 2010, and their M.Sc. from the University of Pune in 2014, Venkat earned his M.Phil degree from the University of Pune in 2018, focusing on the energetics and dynamics of SDSS galaxy groups. In the same year, Venkat received a prestigious scholarship from the Universidad de Atacama, Chile, to do a doctorate. Since then, Venkat has been involved with various research projects alongside pursuing his passion for helping CET/NEET/JEE aspirants with the best available academic support.
Venkat Punjabi served as a Lecturer for a Physics speciality with Adarsh Polytechnic College, Dhule between 2013 and 2014, alongside serving as a Visiting Professor(Physics) at S.S.V.P.S Science College, Dhule. This was followed by his stint as Assistant Professor(Physics) at AISSMS College of Engineering, Pune between 2014 and 2015.
