What Kindred replaces

Most Indian schools stitch together 4-6 tools: one for attendance, another for fees, WhatsApp groups for parent communication, a bus tracker vendor, a homework diary, and a spreadsheet for staff timesheets. Kindred consolidates all of it.

Leadership

Principal dashboard

Live school-wide roll-up: student attendance %, staff attendance, fees collected vs billed, bus km driven, fuel variance flags. One page every morning.

Attendance

Geofence teacher attendance

Teachers open the app on the school laptop, Kindred verifies they're inside the school's GPS geofence and records arrival time automatically. No timesheets.

Fees

Razorpay auto-sync

Parents pay in-app via Razorpay. Kindred syncs every payment to the fee structure automatically, tracks overdue students by days, and gives leadership a live defaulters list.

Fleet

Bus tracking + fuel accountability

Live bus GPS every 10 seconds. Nightly km aggregator sums fuel expected vs entered. Flags variance greater than 15% so no one skims the tank.

Students

Attendance · homework · marks · behaviour

Teachers mark once, parents see instantly. Push notification on every material event. Trend graphs over the year.

Communication

Direct parent-teacher chat

Private, threaded, delivered on push. Replaces WhatsApp groups that leak numbers and create after-hours pressure on teachers.

Kindred vs the alternatives

The Indian school ERP market has been static for a decade. Kindred was built by parents-turned-founders in Bengaluru who watched their child's school struggle with the incumbents.

Who Kindred is built for

Kindred fits premium private schools across India, pre-primary, primary, ICSE, CBSE, IB and IGCSE, with student strength between 200 and 5,000. If your parents pay Rs 1.5 lakh+ per year, they expect an app experience that matches the tuition. Kindred delivers that without the school office adding another vendor to manage.

Currently piloting with schools across Bangalore (Bengaluru), Karnataka. Rolling out to Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad and Chennai during 2026.

Frequently asked questions

What is Kindred, and how is it different from other Indian school ERPs?

Kindred is a school management software built parent-app-first. Legacy Indian ERPs like Fedena and MyClassCampus were built for the school office, so the parent app was an afterthought. Kindred inverts that, parents love the app, and every ERP feature (SIS, fees, attendance, HR) sits behind a calm principal dashboard.

Which Indian schools is Kindred already onboarded with?

Kindred is currently in pilot phase with premium private schools in Bangalore. Reach out via Book a demo and we'll share exact references.

Is Kindred DPDPA-compliant and India-hosted?

Yes. All data resides in Supabase's AWS Mumbai region. Kindred never sells or shares school data. Row-level security enforces that no user, not even the platform operator, can read another school's data.

How does Kindred handle fee collection?

Kindred integrates directly with Razorpay. The admin defines fee structures once per term. Parents pay in-app via UPI, cards or netbanking. Kindred auto-reconciles every payment against the correct student. Leadership sees a live overdue aging report.

What does Kindred cost per student per month?

Pricing depends on the strength of the school and modules chosen. Book a demo and we'll share a quote within the same conversation. There is no cost for parents to use the app.

Does Kindred work on iOS and Android?

Yes. Kindred ships as a Progressive Web App today (works on any modern browser, installs to home screen) with native iOS and Android apps in App Store review as of the current release.
