Chorcha

About Chorcha

Chorcha is an exam-preparation platform built for students navigating Bangladesh's SSC, HSC, university admission, and BCS competitive exams, built around a specific gap: students had plenty of study material, but few tools to actually practice and measure progress against real exam patterns. Sanzid Raihan, known professionally by that name though born Raihan Ul Islam Sanzid, founded the company in December 2020.

Rather than digitizing existing textbooks, he built Chorcha around active practice: mock tests, previous-year question solving, timed challenges, and performance analytics that most students had never had access to before.

Building for Bangladesh's Exam Culture

Sanzid Raihan founded Chorcha in December 2020, entering a market where exam preparation had traditionally meant physical guidebooks, coaching centers, and photocopied question banks rather than structured digital practice tools. Rather than digitizing existing textbooks, he built Chorcha around active practice: mock tests, previous-year question solving, timed challenges, and performance analytics, tools that had simply not existed in digital form before.

That practice-first design meant students could see exactly where they stood against real exam-style questions, rather than passively consuming lecture content the way most competing edtech platforms structured their offerings around video-first delivery aimed at a broader, less exam-specific audience.

A Platform Built Around Practice, Not Just Content

Under Sanzid Raihan's leadership, Chorcha grew to include features like customizable study routines, progress notifications, and leaderboards, gamifying the intensely competitive culture around Bangladesh's national exams rather than working against it. The platform's database expanded to more than one million practice questions, covering the specific exam patterns students would actually face.

That scale of question data became one of Chorcha's core differentiators, giving students a depth of practice material that individual tutors or coaching centers couldn't easily replicate at a comparable price point, particularly for students outside Dhaka with limited access to established coaching centers.

Reaching Half a Million Students

Chorcha has grown to serve more than 500,000 students and has surpassed one million app installs, a scale that reflects how widely Bangladeshi students turned to the platform once digital exam preparation started to catch on. That growth came almost entirely within the highly specific, exam-focused niche Sanzid Raihan built the company around rather than expanding into broader general education content.

Staying narrowly focused on exam practice, rather than chasing the broader tutoring or curriculum-content market that companies like 10 Minute School and Shikho compete in, has let Chorcha build a distinct identity within Bangladesh's crowded edtech sector, one defined by depth in a single category rather than breadth across many.

Leading a Growing EdTech Platform

Sanzid Raihan continues to lead Chorcha's growth, maintaining the platform's focus on structured exam practice as its core value proposition even as competition in Bangladesh's edtech sector has intensified. That narrow, exam-specific focus has let Chorcha build deep credibility with students preparing for some of the most consequential tests in their academic careers.

That focus has also meant Chorcha's growth has tracked closely with Bangladesh's exam calendar, with usage patterns tied directly to SSC, HSC, admission, and BCS testing windows rather than a steady year-round demand curve.

Where Chorcha Stands Today

Chorcha's revenue and user base have grown steadily since its 2020 launch, reaching a database of over one million practice questions and more than 10 million minutes of practice logged by students. That scale of engagement, measured in actual study time rather than downloads alone, reflects genuine day-to-day usage among Bangladeshi students rather than one-time installs.

As one of the more narrowly focused edtech companies profiled in this directory, Chorcha's growth demonstrates that a deep, exam-specific product can compete effectively against broader platforms addressing Bangladesh's wider education market.

Products

Chorcha's platform centers on structured exam practice rather than broad curriculum content.

Mock Tests and Practice Questions form Chorcha's core offering, drawing from a database of more than one million questions covering SSC, HSC, admission, and BCS exam patterns.

Timed Challenges and Performance Analytics let students measure their progress against real exam conditions rather than studying without feedback.

Gamified Study Tools including customizable routines and leaderboards round out the platform, turning Bangladesh's competitive exam culture into a structured practice habit.

Across mock tests, timed challenges, and gamified study tools, Chorcha's platform reflects the practice-first strategy that has defined the company since its December 2020 founding, now serving more than 500,000 students across Bangladesh.
