Young entrepreneur who once worked as restaurant and jewellery staff now leads a 140+ member education team helping students through personalized learning.
Malappuram:
Determination, resilience, and a clear vision have transformed the life of Muhammad Afnas PK, a 20-year-old entrepreneur from Malappuram who has now become a recognized name in the education sector.
Afnas recently received the Emerging Education Brand Award 2026 at the Insight Kerala Business Awards organized by Business Insight, recognizing his contribution to innovative and affordable education.
Before stepping into the world of education, Afnas worked as a restaurant staff member and later in a jewellery shop. Like many young people trying to build a career, he faced several personal and professional challenges during that time. However, those struggles became the turning point that pushed him to think bigger and build something meaningful for society.
With the dream of making quality education accessible to every student, Afnas founded EWES Academy.
What started as a small initiative has now grown into a well-recognized learning platform with more than 140 staff members, supporting students in their academic development.
The academy stands out for its personalized teaching approach. Instead of following a single method for all students, EWES Academy adopts different teaching strategies based on each student’s learning ability, pace, and academic needs. This flexible and student focused system has helped many students improve their performance and confidence in studies.
Another key reason behind the academy’s growing popularity is its commitment to affordable education. By maintaining low tuition fees, EWES Academy ensures that quality learning support remains accessible to students from various financial backgrounds.
Over time, the academy has also gained strong trust among parents. Many parents directly approach Afnas whenever their children require academic guidance or support. His personal involvement in the learning process has helped build a strong relationship of trust with both students and families.
In addition to the Emerging Education Brand Award, Afnas has received several other recognitions and awards for his efforts in promoting accessible and innovative education.
“My goal is to make education simple, supportive, and affordable for every student,” Afnas said while speaking about his journey.
Today, the story of Muhammad Afnas PK stands as an example of how determination and vision can turn struggles into success, inspiring many young entrepreneurs to create opportunities and make a positive impact in society.
