The Missing Infrastructure

Xortcut is not another counselling service.

It is the missing infrastructure of Indian education.

The same way schools need electricity, internet, and labs, they now need a Career Guidance Cell.

We're here to make that possible.

Our Story

A Simple, Painful Truth

Our story began with a simple, painful truth: Every year, millions of students in India ask, "What should I do with my life?" — and almost all of them get the wrong answer.

We watched this cycle play out for decades. Bright kids trapped in careers they never wanted. Parents forced to spend lakhs on trial-and-error degrees. Institutions reduced to exam factories.

The Question That Changed Everything

Meanwhile, our team was busy building Doutya — an AI-powered platform that helps aspirants crack India's toughest exams like UPSC, PSC, NDA, and SSC. We saw how AI could train students to think critically, debate intelligently, and prepare for the country's most elite positions.

That's when the question hit us: If AI can prepare future civil servants and officers, why can't it guide school students at the most crucial decision point of their lives?

That Was the Birth of Xortcut

What started as an experiment grew into a full-fledged Career Guidance Cell: AI-powered tests to identify the right path, continuous mentorship plans, and direct industry connect through challenges, internships, and opportunities.

Our Mission Today

We're not here to be another app. We're here to replace career confusion with clarity — at scale.

From high schools in Kerala to universities in Delhi, from aspirants in small towns to global students — the mission is the same:

• Every student deserves direction

• Every school deserves a Career Guidance Cell

• Every country deserves a generation that doesn't waste its potential

This is not just our story. It's the story of the future workforce of India.
