In 2015, a single classroom in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Marathwada, Maharashtra) started teaching children how to calculate faster than a calculator using an ancient tool — the abacus. That one classroom was G-Champ Abacus & Brain Gym. Today, just 11 years later, G-Champ has grown into one of India’s largest abacus franchise networks with 1200+ franchise centers across 700+ cities in 9+ states, empowering thousands of teachers and educators to become atmanirbhar (self-reliant) while shaping the minds of over 2,00,000 students.
| 1200+ Franchise Centers | 2,00,000+ Students Trained | 700+ Cities Covered | 9+ States in India | 7 Brain Development Programs | ISO 9001:2015 Certified Quality |
This is not just a business success story. This is the story of how education, entrepreneurship, and a powerful vision combined to transform the lives of thousands of families — both the families of the franchise partners who found financial independence, and the families of the students whose children discovered their true potential through abacus training and brain development programs.
The Origin Story: From One Classroom to 1200+ Centers
G-Champ Abacus & Brain Gym was founded in 2015 in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra — a city in the heart of Marathwada. The founder’s vision was simple yet ambitious: bring world-class brain development training to every child in India, not just those in metro cities.
While most education franchises at the time focused exclusively on Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore, G-Champ chose to grow from the grassroots. The first students were from small localities in Sambhajinagar. The first franchise partners were local teachers who believed in the power of abacus education. And the first results — children solving 100 addition and subtraction sums in under 7 minutes using mental arithmetic — spoke louder than any marketing campaign ever could.
Within two years, word spread across Maharashtra. Teachers in Pune, Nagpur, Nashik, and Latur started reaching out. By 2019, G-Champ had crossed 500 centers. By 2024, the number exceeded 1000. Today, in 2026, 1200+ franchise centers are operational across Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Gujarat, Goa, Odisha, Rajasthan, Karnataka, and more.

How Thousands of Teachers Became Atmanirbhar
The word “Atmanirbhar” — self-reliant — became India’s rallying cry during the pandemic years. But for thousands of G-Champ franchise partners, atmanirbhar was not a government slogan. It was a lived reality.
Consider the typical profile of a G-Champ franchise partner: a school teacher earning ₹8,000–15,000/month, a housewife looking for a meaningful career, or a young graduate from a small town with limited job opportunities. These individuals had passion for education but lacked the capital, curriculum, brand, and support system to start something of their own.
G-Champ changed that equation completely. With franchise packages starting at just ₹50,000, a complete ready-to-teach curriculum, intensive training, marketing support, and ongoing mentorship, G-Champ made it possible for anyone with a room and a dream to launch a professional brain development center.
The Visionaries Behind G-Champ: Yogesh & Aarti Deshmane
At the helm of G-Champ is Yogesh Deshmane, a proud Navodayan — an alumnus of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Shegaon. The values of excellence, self-reliance, and service to society instilled by the Navodaya system are deeply reflected in G-Champ’s mission today. Alongside him, Aarti Deshmane co-leads the organization, and together their leadership has been recognized at the highest levels of Indian education. Yogesh Deshmane received the Education Excellence Award 2025, presented by the Governor of Rajasthan, Hon. Haribhau Bagde, celebrating his impactful leadership in education. Aarti Deshmane was honored with the prestigious “Ganit Gunratna Award” by Ganit Guru of India, Mr. B. N. Rao, recognizing her exemplary contribution to abacus education.
Their vision — to empower women to become household heroes and rewrite the rules of entrepreneurship, while building unbreakable cognitive foundations in every child — is what drives G-Champ’s mission every single day. As the company puts it: “We don’t just give franchises. We give wings.”
G-Champ operates under Gainian Education Pvt. Ltd, which is ISO 9001:2015 certified, MSME registered, and holds a Registered Trademark — ensuring trust, quality, and legal protection for every franchise partner and parent.
