You're running a school.
But are you in control?
₹2 lakh in unpaid fees — and no way to prove who paid
A parent says they paid last month. Your clerk says they didn't. The receipt book page is torn. You check WhatsApp — maybe they sent a screenshot? This argument happens every week. And every month, 15-20% of your fees are 'pending' with no clear record.
CBSE wants Holistic Progress Cards. You have no idea how to make them.
NEP 2020 says every student needs a competency-based assessment — not just marks. Your board is sending circulars. Other schools are doing it somehow. Your teachers are asking you what to do. And you don't have an answer yet.
No system. No data. No proof your school runs professionally.
When a parent asks 'what makes your school better?', you talk about your teachers and values. But you can't show them a dashboard. You can't show attendance trends. You can't show their child's progress report on a phone. The school down the road just started doing all of this.
If any of this sounds familiar — you're not alone. 4 lakh schools in India face the same challenges every day.

Pehchaan AI
AI that speaks your language
Not Silicon Valley AI adapted for India. AI built for Indian schools from day one.
Teacher speaks Telugu → AI writes English HPC
Your teacher speaks naturally about a student in Telugu. Our AI transcribes, translates, and generates a professional NEP-compliant Holistic Progress Card. 2 weeks of manual work → 5 minutes.
Parent scans QR → Phone speaks in their language
A semi-literate parent scans their child's QR card. Instead of reading text, their phone SPEAKS: 'Aarav ki fees paid hai. 22 din mein se 20 din present tha.' In Hindi. Telugu. Kannada. Tamil. Malayalam.
AI identifies what your child needs to learn
Our AI analyzes exam performance across NCERT competencies and identifies specific skill gaps. Not just 'needs improvement in Math' — but 'struggling with fractions (MC1.2). Suggested: pizza/chapati cutting activities at home.'
AI without internet — Pehchaan Box
Pehchaan Box runs Google's Gemma 4 AI model on a ₹15,000 device. It broadcasts WiFi. Teachers connect their phones. AI generates report cards, transcribes voice, identifies skill gaps — all locally. No cloud. No internet. No data leaves the school.

Our Mission
Digitising lakhs of schools that India forgot.
India has over 4 lakh affordable private schools. They educate 8 crore children. And they deserve modern digital infrastructure.
Nobody built technology for them — because the ticket size is too small, the schools are too many, and the problems feel too unglamorous.
We believe every school — whether it charges ₹500 or ₹1,00,000 — deserves the same digital infrastructure. The same professional ID cards. The same real-time fee tracking. The same parent communication. The same AI-powered progress reports.
Pehchaan exists to give these schools a digital identity. Not with expensive hardware. Not with complicated software. Just a ₹10 QR card and a phone.
And for the schools where even WhatsApp doesn't work — we're building Pehchaan Box. A ₹15,000 device that brings AI-powered school management to schools with zero internet. Because no school should be left behind because of where it is.
India has 14.5 lakh schools. We're building for all of them.
