For Educators & Institutes

Pathshala OS is an all-in-one platform that replaces the 5–10 tools educators typically stitch together — Zoom for classes, Google Calendar for scheduling, WhatsApp for communication, Excel for attendance, and scattered drives for content. It's built specifically for solo tutors, coaching centers, training institutes, and universities. Think of it as a complete operating system for your education business: you teach, manage students and tutors, host courses, track attendance, collect fees, and even help students with their careers — all from one platform with your own branding and domain.

It's absolutely for you. The Solo plan is free forever — no credit card, no time limit. You get live classes, scheduling, student dashboards, attendance, and up to 50 students. Example: if you teach IELTS to 20 students, you can schedule your weekly sessions, students join via a link, attendance is auto-marked, and they can review recorded sessions later. You don't need to be a big institute to benefit — the platform scales from 1 tutor teaching 5 students all the way to 50 tutors managing 5,000 students.

With Zoom + Drive + WhatsApp, nothing is connected. You schedule on Calendar, share the link on WhatsApp, teach on Zoom, take screenshots for attendance, upload recordings to Drive, and track fees in Excel. If a parent asks "how is my child doing?" — you scramble across 5 apps. With Pathshala OS: you schedule a session, students get auto-notified, they join the live class, attendance is marked automatically, the recording is saved to their dashboard, and you (or the parent) can see attendance history, course progress, and upcoming sessions in one view. Zero manual work.

The AI Course Builder lets you create a full structured course by just describing what you want to teach. Example: you type "Create a 10-week course on JEE Physics — Mechanics for Class 11" and the AI generates a complete syllabus with weekly modules (Newton's Laws, Work & Energy, Rotational Motion, etc.), lesson content for each topic, practice problems, and assessment criteria. You review it, edit anything you want, add your own videos or PDFs, and publish. What would take you 10–15 hours of planning is done in 15 minutes. Solo gets 3 builds/month free; Starter and above get unlimited.

Yes — the Institute plan (₹1,499/mo India, $59/mo US) supports up to 15 tutors. You add each tutor, assign them subjects and batches (e.g., "Amit → JEE Physics, Batch A"), track their session hours, see student feedback, and even manage payroll — calculate hours, generate pay slips, store contracts and compliance documents. Each tutor gets their own login and dashboard, but you see everything as the admin. If you have more than 15 tutors, the Scale plan supports up to 50.

It means students visit YOUR website — not some third-party URL. Example: if your institute is called "Apex Academy", students go to apexacademy.com (your custom domain). They see your logo, your colors, your name. There's no "powered by Pathshala" badge (on paid plans). To students and parents, it looks like you built your own professional platform — but behind the scenes, it's powered by Pathshala OS. This builds trust and makes you look established.

Career DNA is an AI-powered career engine built into the platform that helps YOUR students build resumes, write SOPs for university applications, optimize their LinkedIn profiles, and create portfolios — all personalized from their actual profile data. Why you should care: it's a massive enrollment differentiator. When you tell a parent "join my institute and your child also gets AI-powered career support — resume building, university guidance, portfolio creation" — that's something no competitor offers. It helps you enroll MORE students because you're offering outcomes, not just teaching.

Every educator on Pathshala OS is automatically listed on the Pathshala Network — a discovery platform where students and parents search for tutors and institutes. Think of it as "Google Maps for education." If a parent in your city searches for "NEET coaching" or "spoken English tutor", your profile shows up with your subjects, ratings, and a direct link to your platform. It's free visibility — no ad spend, no Instagram marketing. You're discoverable just by being on the platform.

There are 5 tiers. Solo: Free forever — 1 tutor, 50 students, live classes, scheduling, course content, communications. Starter: ₹499/mo India ($29/mo US), billed annually — 1 tutor, 200 students, everything in Solo plus AI Course Builder (5 courses), Career DNA, custom domain. Institute (most popular): ₹1,499/mo India ($59/mo US), billed annually — 15 tutors, 1,000 students, everything in Starter plus white-label branding, multi-tutor management, compliance & payroll, unlimited AI courses, 20 hrs/mo recordings. Scale: ₹3,999/mo India ($129/mo US), billed annually — 50 tutors, 5,000 students, everything in Institute plus advanced analytics, API access, priority support, 40 hrs/mo recordings. Enterprise: Custom pricing — unlimited everything, SSO, dedicated account manager, SLA guarantee.

Paid plans are annual-only (this is permanent, not just a launch thing). Here's why: education follows academic cycles — students enroll for semesters or years, not random months. Monthly billing creates 12 "should I cancel?" decisions per year, which doesn't match how education businesses actually work. Annual billing means you commit once, focus on teaching for the year, and we can invest in your infrastructure without worrying about month-to-month churn. The monthly price shown (e.g., ₹499/mo) is the equivalent — you're charged the annual total once (e.g., ₹5,988/yr).

Zero. Pathshala OS charges 0% transaction fees on all plans — including the free plan. If you sell a course for ₹5,000, you keep ₹5,000 (minus standard payment processor fees from Razorpay/Stripe, which are typically 2–3%). Compare this to Teachable which takes 7.5% on their Starter plan — on ₹5,000 that's ₹375 gone every single transaction.

Price: Pathshala Starter is ₹499/mo vs. Graphy ₹1,999/mo, Classplus ~₹667–4,167/mo, Learnyst ₹3,499/mo. That's 2–7× cheaper. Features: None of them include AI Course Builder, Career DNA, or compliance/payroll automation at any price. Free plan: Only Pathshala has a genuinely free tier (50 students, no trial expiry). Transaction fees: Pathshala charges 0%; Classplus takes a commission. The short version: you get more features for less money, with a real free plan to start.

Price: Pathshala Starter is $29/mo vs. Teachable $39/mo, Thinkific $49/mo, Kajabi $143/mo. Features you get that they don't offer at ANY price: AI Course Builder (Teachable charges extra for AI), Career DNA for students, multi-tutor management with payroll, built-in live classes, and a free discovery network. Plus 0% transaction fees on all plans (Teachable charges 7.5% on their Starter). The bottom line: cheaper AND more features.

It's genuinely usable. Free plan includes: live classes (built-in video), scheduling, attendance tracking, student dashboards, course content, communications, up to 50 students, and listing on Pathshala Network. What you DON'T get on free: AI Course Builder, custom domain, white-label branding, multi-tutor management, recordings, compliance tools, Career DNA, or advanced analytics. But for a solo tutor getting started — it's a real platform, not a 14-day trial that expires.

If you can use WhatsApp and YouTube, you can use Pathshala OS. Setup: go to pathshala.co, click Get Started, enter your name and email, name your institute — done (2 minutes). Creating a course: open AI Course Builder, type your topic, review what the AI generates, publish. Scheduling a class: pick a date, pick a time, select the batch, save. Students joining: they click a link, enter the video call. No coding, no technical setup, no "configuration files." We designed this for educators, not engineers.

You'll see a notification when you're approaching your student or tutor limit. When ready, upgrade from your dashboard — it takes one click. All your data carries over instantly: courses, student records, sessions history, recordings, everything. No migration, no re-setup, no downtime. Example: you start free with 30 students, grow to 50 (the Solo limit), then upgrade to Starter (200 students) without losing a single piece of data.

Yes. The platform is fully mobile-responsive — students open it in their phone browser and see their dashboard: upcoming classes, course progress, recorded sessions, Career DNA tools, and announcements. A native mobile app (Pathshala Connect) is also available for download. Students don't need a laptop or desktop — everything works on their phone.

No lock-in. If you cancel, you get 30 days to export all your data — student records, course content, attendance logs, recordings, and financial history. After that, your account is deactivated but data is retained for 90 days in case you change your mind. We never hold your data hostage or charge you to export it.

No. Student access is included in YOUR subscription. Students log in for free — they see their dashboard, attend live classes, access courses, track progress, and use Career DNA (if included in your plan). You can optionally sell specific courses or charge enrollment fees through the platform if you want, but student access itself costs them nothing.

Udemy and Coursera are marketplaces — you're one of millions of instructors, you compete on price, they take 50–75% revenue share, and you don't own the student relationship. Pathshala OS gives you YOUR OWN platform: your brand, your domain, your pricing, 0% transaction fee, and you own every student relationship. You're not a vendor on someone else's platform — you ARE the platform.

Not necessarily. You can use Pathshala OS as your teaching and management backend while keeping your existing website for marketing. Students access their portal via a subdomain (e.g., learn.yourinstitute.com) or a custom domain. Alternatively, if your current website is just a basic landing page, you can replace it entirely with your Pathshala OS branded platform — it serves as both your public presence and your operational backend.

Three options: (1) Sign up free at pathshala.co/pathshalaos — takes 2 minutes, no credit card needed. You'll be on the Solo plan immediately with live classes, scheduling, and up to 50 students. (2) Book a personal demo — go to cal.com/pathshala/pathshala-inquiry and we'll walk you through the platform in 15 minutes. (3) Email us at hello@pathshala.co or call +91 77718 55667 with any questions.
