The people behind the recipes
Team GyaanShala
Your instructors
GyaanShala teaches practical, home-scale businesses to women and first-time founders across India. Every course is filmed in a real home workspace — no studio, no industrial equipment — because that is exactly where our learners will be working.
Lessons run in Hindi and English together, with exact quantities, a sourcing list for every material, and the costing and pricing maths worked through on camera. You finish with something you can sell, not only something you can make.
Every recipe and method taught here is one that our own learners are already selling from home — on WhatsApp, at melas, and through festive hamper orders.

Questions about this course
Is this course in Hindi or English?
Both. The videos are taught in easy Hinglish, and the course manual is fully bilingual — every recipe in English and हिंदी.
How many candles will I learn to make?
Fifteen signature candles are demonstrated on video, start to finish — cupcake, jar, coffee, designer glass, diya, ladoo, modak, rose, beer, cat, coconut, daisy, lotus, makhan mishri and pastry — and every recipe is also written out in the bilingual manual.
Do I need a machine or special equipment?
No machine. A melting pot or double boiler, a thermometer, wicks and a few moulds are enough. The course shows exactly what to buy and where.
What is the difference between soy, gel and paraffin wax?
That is covered in the very first lessons — what each wax is, how it behaves, and which candle each one is best for. You will use soy and gel wax throughout the course.
Where do I buy the wax, moulds and fragrance?
Every material and where to source it is covered. If you would rather have it all in one box, a CandleShala kit is available in the GyaanShala store.
Can I sell what I make?
Yes — that is the point of the course. The final lessons cover curing, burn-testing, packaging, labelling and pricing so your candles are safe and ready to sell.
How long do I have access?
Lifetime. Watch on any device, as many times as you like, and download your certificate when you finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes — a 7-day money-back guarantee.
