ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS

Guru Seva (An Educational Management ERP)

The research work of last couple of years has resulted in to coming out with a unique product for enabling better management of education system covering almost every domain of this of the education field.

We offer this solution in Single and Multiuser as a desktop application. We are offering this solution in different versions This solution covers more than 30 verticals of the education system and is equally beneficial for the schools providing primary education, higher secondary and higher education throughly as designed after researching fundamental practices of education system. This solution is built on latest technologies and provides more than 450 reports on different verticals.

We have also designed and developed a web based version of Guru Seva. This solution provided an extra edge to the educational institutions as the management is not bound to sit in the school/ college premises in order to see the reports.

Another considerable point is this that we are offering Guru Seva in BOOT and SaaS Model that very few companies are doing right now.

We are affordable in comparison to other players and our implementation time is minimal. After a bit of support and implementation the user gets ready to use Guru Seva and delivers results to the management.

The feedback of our dealer network is good and today we have more than 100 dealers and channel partners with us in various cities in India and in International market.

Shiklo.in (Educational Portal)

We have designed and developed a unique product named shiklo.in for online home-work and subject assistance to students from standard 5th to 11th.

We are calling it unique not because we provide content and online tests on shiklo but we are providing subject experts and online home tutors who are available from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM to our students. The students can chat with them using different text, audio and video chat options bundled with shiklo.

Other than this we have a lot more for students like subject content, online test generator etc. and thus they can use and learn on their own. Shiklo is very much cost effective in comparison to the traditional home tuitions and per day cost comes to as minimum of Rs. 10.00 per day.

There are other players also in the market who are provide technology solutions to the schools but most of them are offering either subject content or school management solution . This has been the reason that we have always stood ahead of them as we are providing complete solution including Educational Management ERP as well as Online Education.

If on an average we say that there are 700 students in each school then we have a database of 2100000 students and we are very much sure that initially we can get 210000 students registered with us on shiklo.in i.e. 10% of the total database we have with us and this will be our direct approach to the students and their parents.

NEW PRODUCTS

We are getting into new products and services while maintaining our existing products, market and customer base. We are offering Guru Seva integrated with Tablet PCs. This will be highly beneficial for teachers, students and the management as they all will be sharing information and will be live with each other. This will definitely increase the performance of teachers and students and the overall quality of education will be improved.

We are also planning to setup shiklo hubs in different cities where we are already present. In these hubs we will provide utilities to the students at on reasonable prices. We will also setup video conferencing systems on these hubs where the students can directly communicate with shiklo experts and tutors. This will be a virtual class room where the students can attend the classes as per their batch schedules. This is going to be an entirely new kind of experience to the students.

We are also going to launch the premium high end version of our Educational Institutions Management Solution named as ''Edmentor''. This is an automation solution bundled with all the high end technologies like GPS for school Transport, RFID for Student tracking and Library, Cafeteria and Fees Management.
