Meet Our Team
Pankaj K
Founder and CEO
An educator since 2006. Cofounder MyPhysicsBuddy | Physics, Calculus and Core Mechanical Engineering subjects expert
I have seen very closely how much students struggle to find a good tutor. When I was a student myself, I badly missed an excellent tutor for me. Back then, there was hardly any help available online. Internet was coming up, and there was little or no content that could help in learning.
I started myphysicsbuddy in 2008, and it was pretty successful in providing quality online tutoring for physics. After that, I always wanted to offer tutoring services in all subjects. I started My Engineering Buddy with this view in mind.
There is a lot of online tutoring services available these days, but the quality is inferior. Solving this problem is the ultimate goal of my life.
I want to thank Anthony for guiding me in this project. He is my ex-student, and we co-funded myphysicsbuddy earlier on. I thank every team member in MEB as well for helping me realise my dream.
My Story
August 2000: Joined MERI Kolkata
I was an above-average student, and like all the North Indian students, I prepared for IIT JEE. I got a rank of 5043, which was not enough to get admission into any IIT. Based on this rank, though, I got admission to MERI Kolkata.
May 2005: Joined Shipping as a Marine Engineer
From MERI Kolkata, I passed out in October 2004. In May 2005, I joined the MT Sitamarie, an oil tanker ship. I cleared the shipping exam for 4th Engineer and joined another ship, MT Sitacamilla, after that.
August 2007: I Developed health issues
I was diagnosed with Nephrotic syndrome in my kidneys after signing off from my second ship. I took reiki healing treatment from Dr. K. Muralidharan of Kolkata for around 4 months. I made some lifestyle changes and changed my food habits. With the support of my family, I was able to come out of it in approximately three years.
January 2008: Joined ICICI Bank
Doctors advised me to quit the merchant navy. Not sure what to do next, I joined ICICI Bank as a collection manager in Bengaluru. Due to kidney issues and not liking the job much, I quit ICICI Bank in December 2008. I decided to focus on my health.
November 2009: Joined Tutorvista as a Physics Tutor
Tutorvista’s online physics tutoring job provided me with the freedom to work from home. It gave me ample time to focus on my health.
January 2011: Started My Physics Buddy (MPB)
Tutorvista inspired me to start my own online tutoring business. With the help of one of my students, Anthony Khoury from Canada, I started My Physics Buddy. The initial few months were so bad that I decided to join ‘JEE Classes Patna’. Here, I taught students preparing for the IIT JEE. I kept working on My Physics Buddy and TutorVista in parallel. By February 2011, I started getting traction with My Physics Buddy, so I quit JEE Classes. I focused all my energy on developing My Physics Buddy.

Chief People Officer
7 year experience building lasting relationship with clients | Statistics expert
I joined the management team of MEB to help grow the organisation. MEB provides quality online homework help and tutoring assistance to students worldwide. Having undergone the trials and tribulations of 18 years of formal education, I realise that having the right tutor help a student learn a subject is one of the most crucial factors in academic and, subsequently, professional success. I had always wanted to help students meet the best tutors who could guide them in a personalised environment. I am realising my dream in MEB by giving the students a honest and trustworthy person they can communicate to. The work I do is exciting and meaningful. I am an engineer and an MBA by qualification. Even outside work, I like to help people improve their quality of life, including health and fitness, through my deep interest in the power of lifestyle choices.
I have also been a tutor and mentor for statistics students and professionals.

Chief Overseas Operations
Strategic planning and foreign operations
My Engineering Buddy is the natural extension of MyPhysicsBuddy that I started ten years back with Engineer Kumar (Pankaj Kumar). The founding of MyPhysicsBuddy.com was just a story of a genius tutor and his star student (that’s me). Due to Kumar’s help, I was able to get top grades in Physics. That inspired me to offer him a partnership in building a platform for Physics online tutoring. After approximately a year of hard work, we successfully created MyPhysicsBuddy.com. I had a dream to get every student un-stuck with physics helping one physics student at a time!
Engineer Kumar had a dream to expand to other subjects, so he founded MEB or MyEngineering Buddy. He was constantly in touch with me for this project. I wish him all the best.

MEB’s History
August 2011: MPB became My Engineering Buddy (MEB).
I soon realized that I could not grow a business based only on one subject. Hence, I diversified into many subjects. I renamed My Physics Buddy to My Engineering Buddy. I added four of my friends from Tutorvista and JEE classes to my team. I was getting enough students to keep myself fully occupied.
March 2015: Registered BlueAura iSolutions Private Limited
After the revenues increased, I incorporated BlueAura iSolutions Private Limited. The business grew further and became a team of around 10 tutors.
July 2020: Rapid growth after COVID-19
Until COVID-19, I had no aspirations to grow MEB. I was happy with the volume of business. After COVID-19 hit the world, the demand for tutors grew manifold. Unable to handle the number of students, I was left with no choice but to hire student helpline executives and include more tutors in our team. I started designing the workflow and streamlining the business processes.
May 2021: Reached 50+ Subjects, 100+ Tutors
Setting up systems and workflow helped me grow the team at a rapid rate. In less than a year, MEB had 100+ tutors helping students with 100+ subjects.
April 2022: Reached 100+ subjects, 200+ Tutors
The growth continued, and in one more year, the number doubled.
About Us
Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. – Malcolm X
Thank you for showing interest in MEB. Welcome to the best place to get online tutoring and homework help. We strive to provide personalized educational assistance to everyone.
We work with the sole aim of providing you with value-for-money educational help, and we treat your success as our success. It is our responsibility to ensure that we choose and get your work done by the best tutors in the best manner possible, and we take it very seriously.
If there is one thing in which most individuals would like to invest their time, it would be high-quality education. Most people would love to have a great academic track record more than anything else, as there is nothing else that promises to open doors to a successful career and a great future, especially in the early stages of one’s professional life.
Classrooms in schools, colleges, and universities form the backbone of global educational systems. They provide academic structure and faculty expertise to students in group settings, thus benefiting the population at large. However, there is a crucial gap that private tutoring and personalized academic assistance can fill.
The gap is that of individual attention and 1:1 interaction, coupled with helping the students learn and get help in a manner that suits them and at the pace that is most effective for them. Many students realize that they would immensely benefit from focused interaction with a teacher as compared to the distributed attention of a faculty member in a classroom setting. Students also find themselves burdened with assignments, homework, case studies, and projects.
At MEB, we are at the forefront of bridging this gap and bringing tutors’ expertise to you, wherever you may be in the world. Our handpicked online teachers and homework helpers who interact 1:1 with students have a big role to play in many students’ academic journeys. We have made it a cakewalk for you to get in touch with the best in the business by meticulously selecting tutors with proven track records.
There are many ways in which MEB can be a part of your academic journey. We offer a whole range of personalized educational assistance. You can learn a subject from scratch or complement your classroom learning with online tutoring sessions. The online tutoring sessions are also useful for learning problem-solving techniques and shortcuts.
We have ensured that we have tutors to cater to all your academic and professional needs, including but not limited to the following:
Exam preparation assistance: A big part of our resources are dedicated to exam preparation assistance for all types of exams, including AP, SAT, MCAT, Olympiads, regular school, college, university, and even general aptitude quizzes, tests, midterms, and final exams.
Homework, assignment, and project/lab help: This is another one of our top offerings where we assist students to learn more efficiently by helping them with their homework, class assignments, projects, and lab tasks. We offer a money-back guarantee for the work done by our homework helpers.
Online tutoring: Our online tutoring classes have enabled thousands of students to learn numerous subjects, software, and skills. It could be about learning an odd chapter, problem-solving hacks, or an in-depth understanding of the entire curriculum; our tutors have successfully imparted knowledge to students globally via private interactive sessions delivered over an electronic whiteboard and other educational and collaborative tools with cutting-edge technology.
Rest assured, when you approach MEB for any educational assistance, we take your studies and career as seriously as you do. Our student helpline team is always available to provide top-notch support, and our tutors are keen on providing top-quality academic help.
