Our story

It began on graph paper, days before an exam.

Syllabi did not start as a company. It started as a group of students trying to get through their own A Levels.

The CHSE Islamic Forum
While studying at CHSE, our founder and a group of friends developed summary notes for A Level Islam and launched a simple application shortly before final examinations. It was downloaded more than 500 times within 48 hours.
The insight
Not more content — better ways to learn
The project became outdated after curriculum changes. But it validated an important insight: students do not want more content. They want better revision tools, simplified notes, exam-focused preparation, and all of it on their phone.

Syllabi is registered
Our founder returned to the idea with a broader vision, and Syllabi was officially registered with the Ministry of Economic Development. Syllabi is the evolution of that original project.
