Named, on-the-record perspectives from Devryon's founder, product and academic leadership — on Indian K-12 EdTech, fee digitisation, and school operations.
"Indian schools are still leaving ~5% of billed fees uncollected each year — roughly ₹4,200 crore across the sector. The unlock is not stricter reminders, it's WhatsApp-first cadences in the parent's home language."
"In tier-2 and tier-3 cities, the single biggest blocker to school-app adoption is not price — it's parents opening an English-only interface. Marathi and Hindi apps triple monthly active users overnight."
"State-board schools are the fastest-growing ERP buyers in India — up 48% year-on-year — because state education departments are turning e-governance guidelines into hard mandates."
"The average Indian classroom still loses 3+ minutes a period to manual attendance. That's 15 minutes of instruction a day — 45 hours a year — that a ₹0-cost teacher-app tap gives back."
"AI in Indian schools will not arrive as a chatbot. It arrives as auto-generated report-card remarks, fee-reminder copy in the parent's language, and admission-lead scoring — quiet productivity gains, not headline features."
