Meet Pawandeep Singh Waraich, founder of findmycourse.ai who quit his corporate job in Australia, returned to his small hometown of Barnala in Punjab, and today his startup is helping learners across the globe.
Back in 2018, after returning from Australia, he opened the Urban School of English. His vision was bold yet simple: to prepare students from small towns for opportunities abroad in countries like Canada, the UK, and Australia. The model worked well for a while. Classrooms were full, students were motivated, and word spread about his focus on confidence building and pre-exposure training.
Then the pandemic struck. Overnight, schools shut down. Even when they reopened, many students didn’t come back. By 2022, the traditional coaching industry was collapsing.
Most people would have given up. But not Pawandeep.
He realized something fundamental: education wasn’t scarce anymore — it was everywhere. Prestigious universities like Harvard, IITs, and even Google were putting thousands of courses online. The real problem wasn’t access. It was overwhelm. Too many platforms, too many choices. Students wanted to learn but didn’t know where to start.
So instead of creating yet another content-heavy platform, he asked a different question: What if learners had a guide?
That’s how findmycourse.ai was born. Imagine typing: “I want to land a UX design job in six months” or “What’s the best beginner-friendly data science course in Spanish?” Instead of burying you under hundreds of links, the platform uses AI to recommend what actually fits — your goals, your budget, and your timeline.
But the journey wasn’t easy. Conceiving the idea was one thing, building it in a small town like Barnala was another. Access to skilled engineers and AI specialists locally was almost impossible. Once again, Pawandeep adapted. He turned to online hiring platforms, bringing in remote talent from across India and beyond. And instead of waiting for expertise to arrive, he rolled up his sleeves and started upskilling himself.
In one of his Facebook posts, he humorously admitted that diving into Harvard’s online computer science lectures felt like “drinking water from a fire hose reel.” But he stuck with it. Over time, he learned enough about AI, product design, and the startup ecosystem to guide his team. His ability to blend local roots with global tools became the foundation of findmycourse.ai.
Today, the platform does more than just recommend courses. It builds step-by-step roadmaps — which courses to take in sequence, how many hours to study weekly, even tips on preparing for interviews. Whether you’re switching careers or landing your first job, it feels less like a search engine and more like having a mentor by your side.
And the reach is already global. Findmycourse.ai serves learners in multiple countries, including Japan, the USA, and the Hispanic-American region. Each market has its own homepage and language support — the Japan site looks and feels very different from the India site, speaking directly to its audience.
At its core lies a simple belief: education should be clear, not confusing. No endless scrolling, no misleading ads, no pressure to sign up for something that doesn’t fit. As Pawandeep says: “Finding the right path shouldn’t be hard. It should be as simple as asking a question.”
Take the Study Abroad feature. For countless Indian students, studying in the US, UK, or Australia feels like navigating a maze: paperwork, finances, applications. The platform simplifies it with visa checklists, cost-of-living calculators, and personalized university suggestions, turning anxiety into clarity.
What makes this story inspiring isn’t just clever AI. It’s the resilience behind it. When his physical school struggled, Pawandeep didn’t just move lessons online. He reimagined the entire problem. Instead of producing more content, he built clarity. Instead of complaining about the lack of local tech talent, he hired remotely and learned the skills himself.
Looking ahead, findmycourse.ai is set to keep evolving. It’s not just about popular skills like coding or design anymore — the platform will guide learners into emerging areas like AI ethics, green technology, and sustainable business. Pawandeep’s personal philosophy is the same: don’t wait for the perfect time. Start where you are, with what you have.
So whether you’re in Canada, Brazil, or anywhere else, check it out here: findmycourse.ai. Because sometimes, the right guide is all it takes to move forward.
