Sarthak Educational Trust was started in the year 2008.

In 2004, while practising as a dentist, Dr. Jitender Aggrawal, the Founder and CEO of Sarthak started losing his vision due to Macular Degeneration of Retina, a non-treatable concern. During this period, he realised the agony which a PwD goes through due to constraints such as non-inclusive environment and limited access to resources and opportunities. With God's grace and support from various relevant persons, he first got himself trained in screen readers and other softwares to manage and execute his daily activities through computers, and gradually started with the skilling and employment of visually impaired candidates in Delhi.

Thus, he envisioned a platform where this dependency can be cured. With this thought, In 2008 Dr. Aggrawal started with one centre in Delhi and gradually expanded to 19 centers across the nation. Through its presence in Delhi(4), Chandigarh, Gurugram, Ludhiana, Lucknow, Jaipur, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune, Ambala, Bhopal, Kolkata, Ghaziabad, Chennai, Vishakapatnam and Faridabad with the support of National Skill Development Corporation, Tech Mahindra Foundation, Capgemini India Private Limited, Mahindra Finance and various other agencies.
