Alakh Pandey, the founder of Physics Wallah (PW), has revolutionized edtech by launching India’s first educational anime series for Class 10 Science. Announced in early December 2025, this anime-style web series transforms dry board exam prep into engaging storytelling with vibrant characters and narratives.
Why Anime in Education?
Alakh Pandey aims to bridge the gap between traditional rote learning and modern student preferences. Gen Z and Alpha learners consume anime, reels, and web series daily, so PW adapts to this by embedding CBSE syllabus concepts into anime arcs—think physics laws explained via epic battles or biology through character journeys. This move challenges outdated teaching methods, making complex topics visually intuitive and fun.
Key Benefits for Students
Anime format boosts retention through emotional storytelling and visuals, outperforming static lectures. Students grasp abstract ideas like Newton’s laws via dynamic scenes, reducing dropout rates in tough subjects. Early buzz shows higher engagement on PW’s YouTube shorts and Instagram reels, with memes and hype signaling viral potential. For Class 10 board aspirants, it simplifies revision into binge-worthy episodes.
Strategic Edge for PW
This innovation positions PW ahead in India’s competitive edtech space, blending EdTech with entertainment. Alakh’s vision—”Anime se Padhai”—targets 10M+ CBSE students, driving app downloads and subscriptions. Social media traction (thousands of views in days) proves its pull, potentially scaling to other classes or subjects.
Future Impact
PW’s anime experiment could redefine Indian education, inspiring rivals like Unacademy. Benefits extend to inclusivity: Hindi-English mix suits diverse audiences. Critics may question depth, but pilots suggest it complements live classes effectively. Expect expansions soon.
