Question 3

How does Kindred handle school fee collection?

Accepted Answer

Kindred auto-syncs every payment to the school's fee structure, tracks overdue students, and lets parents pay in-app. Reconciliation is automatic, so schools stop chasing WhatsApp receipts and parents stop worrying about lost cheques.

Question 4

Is Kindred DPDPA compliant and India-hosted?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kindred is DPDPA-compliant, India-hosted on Supabase (AWS Mumbai), and never sells or shares school or parent data with third parties.

Question 5

How does teacher attendance work in Kindred?

Accepted Answer

Teachers open the app on the school laptop and Kindred auto-verifies they are inside the school's geofence using GPS. Attendance is captured with arrival time and lateness — no manual sign-in, no timesheet.
