Your idea is awesome. The planning is fantastic. But you need to understand the psychology of students. Have you thought about why edtech platforms struggle in India, even after providing great quality? The fact is — in India, most students study f

Let's be transparent, if you're okay with it. Are you going to build it bootstrapped or raise funds?

I plan to raise funds rather than bootstrap Jigyasa because aggressive scaling is essential in the highly competitive EdTech space. With the Indian EdTech market projected to reach $10 billion by 2027 and $30 billion by 2030, securing funds will allow us to invest in platform development, skilled mentors, marketing, and college partnerships, ensuring we capture a significant market share. While raising funds carries risks, especially given the current EdTech climate, it’s necessary for long-term stability and growth. If you have any advice on areas to focus while seeking funding or scaling, your insights would be invaluable. Thank you again for your support!

I would say first decode your working capital requirements at the MVP or testing stage. It will hardly cost more than ₹1 lakh, I think. Right now, focus on one niche subject — anything, but just one. It could be finance, tech, biology, etc. Make sure you're offering the absolute best knowledge in that niche. Start offline. Tie up with schools (yes, schools!). Run a 2-month study campaign at a minimal fee — say ₹1,000 to ₹2,000 per student. Give the school a commission and, in return, get access to their classrooms, AV rooms, and computers. Provide hands-on learning to the students. Try your best to make those students masters of that one small topic — even if it's just a sub-topic of the niche. Once you've done this, you're ready to start your company. Now you have trust, you have status, and you have experience. And now, at this point, you're ready with your pillars — and ready to build your empire.
