Welcome To Benchmarx Academy
Two school friends, one working with Morgan Stanley as Senior Analyst and the other working with Capita as an Assistant Manager , would spend their weekends doing what they loved to do, Teaching! After teaching CA, CFA and CS, for a span of 3 years, at various coaching institutes, they decided to start a coaching institute of their own! Benchmarx Academy was born. What started as a small classroom in a Garage, now caters to Chartered Accountancy course for all 3 levels.
