Edtech and education software in India: Children's data and honest claims come before features.
Under the DPDP Act, a student under 18 needs a parent's verifiable consent, and apps may not track children or target ads at them. Coaching ads may not promise ranks or selections. We build learning apps, school systems and coaching platforms with these rules built in.

Education and edtech, in numbers.
Indian schools are moving student records online through APAAR IDs and DigiLocker, and parents expect fees, results and updates on their phone.

What we will not claim.
We are not approved by the Ministry of Education, UGC or any state, and no app is DPDP compliant on its own. We do not write ranking claims for you or promise exam results. Your institution stays responsible for safeguarding, admissions and advertising decisions. We build systems that support those duties and keep clear records.

Where to start.
Frequently asked questions.
Do we need parental consent for students under 18?
Yes, in most cases. The DPDP Act treats anyone under 18 as a child and needs a parent's verifiable consent before you process their data. Schools and colleges have a narrow exemption for tracking needed for education or safety. The main duties start in May 2027, so build consent into new systems now.
Can our coaching ads show toppers and selection numbers?
Only if the claims are true and complete. Under the CCPA's 2024 guidelines, an ad that shows a successful student must also state their rank, the course they took and whether it was paid. It needs the student's written consent, taken after selection. Claims of guaranteed selection or jobs are banned. We build result pages around those rules.
Can an edtech company sell online degrees?
Only with a university that UGC has recognised or entitled for that online or distance programme. UGC publishes these lists on its DEB portal, programme by programme. We can build your platform and admissions flow, but check the university's status for each programme before you market it.
Is our students' data safe with you?
We build with role-based access, audit logs and data minimisation, and host in Indian cloud regions where data must stay in India. We sign a Data Processing Addendum before work starts and name every provider in it. Decisions about students stay with your staff. The system records those decisions but does not make them.
