GAHNA EduPath

Reimagining Career Guidance for India with Sovereign AI

GAHNA EduPath is a specialized Small Language and Reasoning Model (SLM) developed under the GAHNA Sovereign AI initiative by ExorionAI. It is purpose-built to address one of India's most persistent challenges at scale: enabling students to make informed, confident, and future-ready career decisions.

In a country with the world's largest youth population, career choices are often shaped by limited guidance, social pressure, and generic advice. GAHNA EduPath introduces a fundamentally different approach. It applies sovereign, explainable AI to reason across aptitude, interests, education pathways, skills, and real-world opportunities, delivering decision-ready career intelligence aligned with India's unique demographic, economic, and cultural context.

Why GAHNA EduPath Matters

India produces millions of graduates every year, yet gaps persist between education, employability, and workforce readiness. Traditional counselling models struggle to scale, and generic AI systems lack contextual understanding and trust.

GAHNA EduPath is designed to bridge this gap by offering:

• Structured and explainable career reasoning

• India-first data alignment

• Trustworthy, auditable decision support

• Large-scale deployability across institutions and regions
