What We Do?
Athena was built for the ones who don’t fit the template.
For the overthinkers, deep divers, and quiet rebels.
For the kids who care too much, dream too big, or don’t know where they belong—yet.
We help you turn all of that into something powerful. We coach students to ditch the checkbox mindset and build something that actually matters—to them and to the world.
Sure, they get into the best colleges on the planet. But that’s just a byproduct.
The real win?
They learn to think harder, dig deeper, and back themselves without flinching.
Our goal? We’re in pursuit of greatness.
We want to be one of the greats—because we’re inspired by the greats.

WHO WE ARE
PRINCETON, 2012
PRINCETON, 2012
Poshak began his education at DPS R.K. Puram, where he graduated in the top 1% and ran the Mathematics Society.
In 11th grade, he pulled off something never done before: he became the first student from India to snag a full scholarship to Stanford’s prestigious SUMaC program.
Upon graduating, Poshak secured 100% scholarships from both Stanford and Princeton. At Princeton, he became President of the Entrepreneurship Club, leading innovative projects and commanding the respect of his esteemed peers.
PRINCETON, 2011
Born and raised in Fremont, California, Rahul started stacking superpowers early, acing the SAT with a perfect score and getting into every Ivy League he applied to. He chose Princeton over Harvard, because real heroes go with their gut.
At Princeton, he dove into Politics and Political Economy, learning how power works and how to use it with purpose (he’s now teaching our students this).
Before Athena, Rahul was already shaping futures, serving as Director of College Counseling at a top-tier firm in California. Then came the big move: he left the familiar behind, flew across the world, and co-founded Athena with Poshak.
POSHAK AGRAWAL
Meet Poshak, the math whiz who crushed it at DPS R.K. Puram, graduating in the top 1% and running the Mathematics Society like a boss. In 11th grade, he pulled off a Marvel-level power move: the only student from India to snag a full scholarship to Stanford’s SUMaC program. Boom! That win unlocked 100% scholarships from two giants: Stanford and Princeton. He picked Princeton and didn’t just join the game — he led it. As Co-President of the Princeton Entrepreneurship Club, Poshak drove innovation and commanded respect.
Brains. Leadership. Grit. The quiet force behind Athena’s boldest moves.
