03 / 09Trust, explained

Five checks. You see every one.

Badges are earned, never bought. Each badge on a profile means we checked it ourselves, and you can tap any badge to see what we checked and when.

  1. 01

    Identity

    Government ID through DigiLocker, a live selfie matched to the ID photo. We store only a masked reference, never the document.

    ID verified
  2. 02

    Qualification

    Degrees, certificates and federation ratings, checked at the source where a registry exists. Self-taught? You'll see a teaching demo instead of a badge.

    Qualified
  3. 03

    Intro video

    Every teacher records a short intro. A reviewer watches it and confirms it's the same person as the ID.

  4. 04

    Place

    Studios and centres send geo-tagged photos and video from inside the app. No gallery uploads, no stock photos.

    Place verified
  5. 05

    Background check

    Police and court-record check by a licensed vendor, with written consent. Mandatory for anyone who teaches at your home.

From search to the first class in three steps.

See the parent journey

    Compare

    Filter by your child's age, area, price and timing. Watch the intro video before you decide.

  2. 02

    Book a trial

    Pay in the app. Your money is held until the class happens. Didn't happen? Automatic refund.

  3. 03

    Learn and review

    Session notes after every class, easy rescheduling, and reviews only from parents who actually booked.

05 / 09Kids-first

Built for parents who ask questions.

Payment protection

Money sits with the payment partner until the class is done. Refunds follow the policy you saw before booking.

Masked chat and calls

Talk to teachers without sharing your number. We flag off-platform payment links and contact details.

Parent-only accounts

Children have profiles, not logins. No ads, no tracking on child profiles. Ever.

Home-visit safety

OTP check-in at the door, live "teacher en route" updates, and one-tap SOS that shares your location with family.

Report, and we act

Report from any profile, chat or session. Safety reports get a human response within an hour.

Your data, your rights

Export or delete your account any time. Built to India's DPDP Act from day one.

06 / 09Anyone with a skill

Riya is 20, studies B.Com, and teaches guitar on weekends.

She has no certificate, so she recorded a teaching demo instead. Her ID and video are verified; she teaches at her own place and online. Twelve families later, she pays 0% on the ones she brought herself.

"I never thought my shauk could pay my hostel fees."
