About us

Built by educators. Engineered for Bharat.

OrbitGurukul was started because the founders watched their own children's schools drown in WhatsApp groups, Excel sheets and angry parent calls. The big-city ERP wasn't built for them. So we built one that was — for the Tier-2 and Tier-3 schools that quietly educate most of India.

What we believe.

Schools first, software second

Every feature ships only after a real principal has used it for a full term. Our product roadmap is reviewed quarterly by a council of 12 working principals from across India.

Bharat-grade reliability

Designed for patchy 4G, regional languages and the realities of a small-town front office. Works offline, syncs when online. Tested on ₹6,000 Android phones.

Honest pricing

No per-module add-ons, no surprise renewal hikes, no per-seat sneak-attacks. The price you see is the price you pay — and it doesn't go up at renewal.

Data belongs to the school

Your data is yours. Export anytime in standard formats. We never sell, share or monetise student information — full stop.

Hosted in India

All data residency is in Mumbai and Hyderabad AWS regions. No data ever leaves Indian soil — important for compliance, important for trust.

On-the-ground support

Regional language WhatsApp support. On-call within 4 hours for paid customers. No bots, no ticket queues you can't escape.
