HiFive Tutoring, founded by Avanthika and Abhisri Ramesh, is scaling a near-peer mentorship model connecting K–12 students and early-career learners with MBA students and alumni from elite business schools. The company positions mentorship as a vehicle for confidence, social mobility and professional development rather than purely test preparation. HiFive’s founders — Avanthika, a Wharton MBA and senior AI product leader at Salesforce, and Abhisri, a physician-in-training with an MBA — present the venture as a practical example of business education reinforcing leadership and industry readiness. The model underscores growing private-sector demand for micro-credentialing and mentoring tied to career outcomes.
