History
The website was founded in 2002 by an India's MBA student Allwin Agnel. Initially, the website was an easy to use education discussion forum. [2]
In 2009, PaGaLGuY launched India's largest B-school rankings initiative. The project was a response to a growing need of both MBA aspirants and recruiters for a credible rating of B-schools. [3]
On 12 December 2009, community members announced a protest against the government for a scam involving medical exams held in India. [4] The students called the test unfair, inconsistent and chaotic, and alleged that the questions were leaked even as the examination was underway. [5]
In 2010, PaGaLGuY launched an MBA affiliate program, enabling students to register on the platform and apply to multiple colleges through a single interface. An applicant's status can be tracked, and he or she can correspond with institutes and pay application fees via the portal. [6]
In July 2012, the website was relaunched incorporating social networking features to its platform, changing from a forum website to a social network.
In January 2016, the company launched an interactive test preparation learning application called Prepathon. [7] The application raised undisclosed Series A funding in May, and in July received media coverage for its use of automated bots. [8] [9]
In July 2018, PaGaLGuY was covered as one of the top 11 brand by CNBC as a part of its book Booming Brands – The Inspiring Story of 11 'Made in India' Brands [10]
