Reason for starting? I was a full time mother and enjoying parenting, particularly my break from work. During the admission process to get my son into formal school, I realized that a lot of parents were not totally informed as to how the process worked. Since I come from a technical background, I decided to create and provide such a platform for parents, where they can get information on different schools in one place; information on fees, application due dates, documents required etc.

It was a big struggle during the initial years but then it really started to work as a one stop platform for all the information parents needed for the admissions process in order to save time. Now we have more than 65,000 users who registered with us from the NCR area. Every year when parents secure a seat at school for their child and don’t miss a deadline, it gives us satisfaction and encourages us to help more people. This gives me satisfaction because I look forward every year to introducing new and innovative ways to help.
