Archer Chess Academy, founded by Jatin Goyal during the 2020 pandemic lockdown, has grown into a profitable global edtech venture and is projected to achieve ₹6 crore in turnover in FY 2025–26, operating entirely without external funding.
The Vision Behind the Move
While the world paused in 2020, Jatin Goyal saw an opportunity to build a structured, digital-first chess education platform. Recognizing the increasing demand among parents for meaningful, skill-based learning, he built Archer Chess Academy as a long-term scalable model rather than a temporary online solution.
