XPrep, a Delhi-based edtech start-up, enables parents to monitor their child’s progress during the course of tuition while helping tutors serve their batches efficiently.
Founded in September 2015, the road to fame begun for the edtech firm after it received $40,000 worth of credits and services from Facebook and its partners such as Amazon Web Services, Dropbox, Adobe and MailChimp. It will feature under FBStart, a global programme designed to help early stage mobile start-ups.
Using the app’s automation techniques, tutors can perform daily tasks such as sending out announcements, conducting quizzes and notifying classes. It gives tutor a hawk-eyed view about the performance of each student at individual and batch level and even at institute level.
According to Mukul Rustagi, chief executive of XPrep, parents often spend a handsome amount on coaching but after enrolment, they lose track of their children’s progress. Hence, XPrep aims to be the platform to establish a continual and seamless engagement within the student-parent-tutor ecosystem.
With various streams such as subscription, pay-per-user, pay-as-you-go and deliverable-based revenues, the start-up has acquired a base of around 100 tutors and 8,000 students across the National Capital Region since its inception.
Maintaining an asset-light model and exploring the hybrid play of both online and offline operations, the company is working to touch $12 billion through personalising content for each tutor and student enabling better learning outcomes. With the new academic session approaching, students would also be able to order books from XPrep’s platform.
While it currently specialises in mathematics, commerce and science syllabus for Class IX to XII students, with minimal competition from one-to-one tutoring, it plans to capture K-12 segment pan-India in the next three years.
