Our Story
Pathsala (पाठशाला) was founded in 2025 to bridge the digital divide in Indian education. We saw schools — from village primary schools to urban CBSE institutions — running on paper registers, WhatsApp groups, and disconnected tools. Pathsala brings everything an Indian school needs into one platform, designed from the ground up for low-bandwidth conditions, regional languages, and the realities of school administration in India.
Our Mission
To put a world-class school management system in the hands of every Indian school — without a six-figure budget, an IT department, or a year-long rollout. We measure success by the hours we give back to teachers, the fees we help schools collect on time, and the parents we keep informed.
Our Vision
An India where every student — from Class 1 in a Bihar village school to Class 12 in a Mumbai CBSE academy — has a digital record that follows them, parents who can pay fees and see results without standing in line, and teachers who spend their time teaching rather than chasing paperwork.
What We Build
- Multi-tenant by design — each school gets its own subdomain (yourschool.pathsala.org), its own data, its own branding. Zero cross-contamination.
- End-to-end coverage — admissions, attendance (face recognition + GPS), fees + receipts, library, online exams + quizzes, live classes, parent portal, transport, hostel, and a public website for the school.
- Built for India — multi-board (CBSE, ICSE, state), Hindi + English UI, low-bandwidth pages, UPI fee collection, GSTIN-ready invoices.
- Open + fair pricing — start free with a 15-day trial, then ₹2,999/month and up. No "Contact Sales", no per-student lock-in.
Our Numbers
- 500+ schools onboarded across 12 states
- 50,000+ students using Pathsala daily
- 3,000+ teachers grading online exams
- 99.9% uptime over the last 12 months
Leadership
Pathsala is built by a small, focused team in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. We're educators, engineers, and ex-school-admin staff who decided the status quo was unacceptable. We answer support emails. We visit schools. We build what we'd want our own children's school to use.
