Our story
A one-stop platform, beyond the classroom
ECA Academy is a service-oriented company that provides a one-stop platform for artistic, fitness and academic needs, helping each learner grow beyond the normal curriculum of school, college or university.
The company, ECA Academy Private Limited, was incorporated on 28 December 2021, with a vision to standardise extracurricular education by designing ECA courses and making sure they are delivered thoroughly. Our well-qualified team has the skills and the determination to make that possible.
We teach classes in our own premises for everyone who wants to take their artistic journey to a whole new level. And our in-house music production team runs Daju Bhai Studio, which began in 2019, two years before the academy itself, so you can record your music professionally.
So, we welcome you to the ECA family: a one-stop platform to make your dreams come true.
