01Our story

Six decades. One purpose.

Late Shri Kewal Ram Gupta laid the foundation of Goyal Brothers Prakashan (GBP) in 1960, when India’s aspirations were taking shape. Education was central to those aspirations, and there was a dearth of quality learning resources. Realising this need, our founder established GBP with a vision to make learning accessible to everyone.

Our mission

To provide learning resources that nurture passion and curiosity and that every parent wants for their children and every teacher recommends to their students.

Our vision

To make learning accessible to everyone, anywhere, anytime. We intend to do it by harnessing technology and passion to provide a learning experience that is immersive, unique and rooted in our timeless values.

09Testimonials

Heard in classrooms and at home.

I took classes on Merit Box in physics and mathematics. My teachers were good, explained everything well and were keen to know more about me and my interest. I was given regular feedback of learning, and how I could improve it.

Babita GanguliStudent, Merit Box

I am a parent of a 15-year-old. My friend recommended me Merit Box app. I found all the classes were really good. My kid was able to make sense of everything. If he had any doubt, his educators made sure they were resolved. I recommend it.

Sarah TaylorParent, Merit Box

My son had books recommended for his summer break. When I looked up online to find a suitable book that my child would be able to read with ease and maintain her interest, I found Goyal Prakashan were really good. Easy language and very learner-centric.

Meenakshi RaoParent

I am in 8th grade, and took chemistry and social studies classes. My teachers were really good and helpful. I got supplementary resources to aid my learning and help with difficult homework. I loved all the classes.

Rohit BhujStudent

I am a state board student. It is difficult to find resources, especially online to state boards. But, on Merit Box I found my state-board syllabus was offered. I am glad that I subscribed, my teacher helped me a lot, and she made sure I understand everything correctly. Thank you Merit Box.

Madhu Sen NandaStudent, Merit Box
