Founder bio (short)

Aryan Devangi is the founder of Kindred. He grew up between Shimoga and Bengaluru, in schools where parents had little visibility into the school day. Twenty years later, watching his baby cousins navigate the same accountability gap, he started Kindred to give every Indian parent a calm, verified view of what their child's school day actually looked like.

Talking points

India has built the software that runs the world's banks and hospitals, but our own schools still operate on a 2005 accountability gap.
The premium-private-school category in Bengaluru spends crores on infrastructure but pennies on parent communication — Kindred targets that gap.
The "free school app" model only works if you sell ads or behavioural data. Kindred chose neither — schools pay, parents see nothing for sale.
DPDPA went live in 2023 and most school software is still retrofitting. Kindred was built around it from the first line of code.

Available for interview

Topics Aryan is happy to be quoted on: DPDPA for schools, parent–teacher communication failures in India, the case against ad-funded school apps, Bengaluru-specific commute realities (ORR, Tarahunise, Sarjapur), the premium-private-school market in India.
