Transforming Nutrition Education for Everyone
At Nutrishiksha Academy, we believe that nutrition is not just a science but a powerful force that can heal, uplift, and transform lives. As a government-registered, ISO-certified educational platform, we empower students, aspiring dietitians, and professionals in the fields of Nutrition, Dietetics, and Public Health. Our blend of expert-led coaching, practical training, and career mentorship bridges the gap between academic concepts and real-world application.
We specialize in online coaching for M.Sc. Nutrition entrance exams such as CUET, NCET, CFTRI, IIPH, and others, along with UGC NET Home Science and structured career development programs. Backed by a passionate team of educators and functional nutrition experts, we also provide evidence-based diet counseling and corporate health sessions rooted in scientific integrity.
Our dream is to make India Nutritionally Literate so that every household, regardless of background, has access to the knowledge needed to make better food choices. We aim to rise above misinformation with truth, science, and compassion, and to make nutrition a language every Indian speaks.

OUR STORY
Learn. Grow. Succeed in Nutrition.
Nutrishiksha began with a question: Why are aspiring nutritionists struggling to build successful careers despite years of study? As a teacher, mentor, and nutritionist, our founder Kanishka Upadhyay saw bright students fall behind—not due to lack of knowledge, but lack of guidance. That’s when Nutrishiksha was born—not as a business, but as a movement, seeded in classrooms, nurtured by students, and grown through shared dreams. We started by coaching a few M.Sc. aspirants, helping them crack prestigious exams. Today, we’ve built a community of learners, educators, and health advocates. We now reach schools, corporates, NGOs, and international platforms, working to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world success in the field of nutrition.
Nutrishiksha is more than an academy it’s a mission to educate, uplift, and empower every nutrition professional to serve with confidence, credibility, and compassion. We specialize in online coaching for M.Sc. entrance exams (CUET, NCET, CFTRI, IIPH, and more), UGC-NET Home Science, and comprehensive career development programs. Backed by a passionate team of educators and functional nutrition experts, we also provide evidence-based diet counseling, personalized wellness plans, and corporate health sessions rooted in scientific integrity. From school children in Delhi-NCR to seniors in New York, from classrooms to corporate offices, Nutrishiksha is touching lives—one lesson, one meal, and one mindset at a time.
Our dream is bold but deeply rooted: to make India Nutritionally Literate, to ensure that every household—regardless of background—has access to the knowledge and guidance needed to make better food choices, and to rise above misinformation with truth, science, and compassion. We are here to make nutrition a language every Indian speaks.
