Market entry
What overseas education companies get wrong about Indian school pricing
Why a straight currency conversion of your international price almost always ends the conversation.

What we do
From market entry to classroom impact
Most partners in India stop at selling. We stay with a product through the entire journey — from understanding where it fits in the Indian market, to making sure teachers are still using it well two years later.
01
Market intelligence
Where the product fits across boards, regions and budgets.
02
Product positioning
Pricing, packaging and the message Indian schools respond to.
03
School outreach
Reaching decision-makers through existing relationships.
04
Sales and demonstrations
Presentations, pilots and negotiations with school leadership.
05
Implementation
Onboarding, deployment and coordination with school teams.
06
Teacher training
Classroom-level training so the solution is actually used.
07
Customer support
A local point of contact through the academic year.
08
Growth and renewals
Usage reviews, renewals and expansion within school groups.

For education brands
Looking to enter the Indian K–12 market?
India has more than 1.5 million schools, but reaching them takes local knowledge, relationships and people who can sit in a principal's office and explain your product properly. We become your team in India, without you setting up an office here.
Market entry strategySegment sizing, board-wise fit, pricing and a realistic first-year plan.
Institutional salesA dedicated sales effort aimed at schools, chains and trusts.
Business developmentPipeline building, partner identification and channel development.
School network accessDirect introductions into our existing network of 250+ schools.
Product demonstrationsIn-school demos and pilots run by people who know the product.
Local positioningMessaging and collateral adapted for Indian curricula and buyers.
ImplementationDeployment, integration and coordination with school IT and academics.
Teacher trainingStructured training and refreshers delivered on site or online.
Customer successUsage tracking, feedback loops and issue resolution.
Renewals and expansionAccount growth across branches, grades and sister schools.
Engagement models
Three ways to work with us
Most brands come to us with the same question: how much commitment does India need before we know it will work? These three models let you start at the level of risk you are comfortable with, and move up once the numbers make the case.
Best for first entry into India
Sales representation
We sell on your behalf as your India team. You keep the contract with the school; we own the pipeline, the meetings and the close.
- Named account plan for the first year
- Retainer plus performance commission
- Monthly pipeline and forecast review
- Quick to start, easy to scale back
Best for proven products ready to scale
Distribution partnership
We buy, price and sell in the Indian market, and carry the commercial risk. You get predictable volumes without managing collections or local support.
- Territory or segment exclusivity by agreement
- Annual volume commitments
- Local pricing, invoicing and collections
- Full implementation and support included
Best for brands already selling here
Implementation and training
You have the sales, but adoption is uneven and renewals are slipping. We take on onboarding, teacher training and support so usage recovers.
- Project or per-school pricing
- Training delivered on site and online
- Usage reporting you can show your board
- No change to your existing sales structure
Not sure which fits? Tell us where the product is today and we will tell you honestly which of the three we would recommend — including when the answer is that India is not the right market yet.
For schools and school groups
Better solutions for better schools
We evaluate education products from India and around the world so your team does not have to. Instead of managing a dozen vendors, you work with one partner who knows what each solution can actually deliver in a classroom.

Our place in the ecosystem
One partner, connecting five levels of the education chain
A product only creates value when it reaches a teacher who knows how to use it. We work at every step between the company that builds a solution and the student who benefits from it.

Why partner with us
Six reasons brands choose EduNexus
Deep K–12 expertise
We understand how schools buy: who decides, when budgets are set, and why a good product can still lose a deal in March.
An established school network
Working relationships with 250+ schools, built over years rather than bought as a database.
Local market intelligence
Practical knowledge of boards, regional differences, pricing expectations and procurement realities.
Complete sales capability
From prospecting and presentations to negotiation, closing and account management.
Training and implementation
We make sure solutions are adopted, not just purchased — because renewals depend on usage.
Long-term support
We stay with schools after go-live, so problems surface early and accounts keep growing.
How partnership works
Six stages, from first conversation to steady growth
We are deliberate about the first three stages. If a product is not right for Indian schools, it is better for both of us to know that early.
Stage 01
Understand
We learn your product, your economics and what growth in India needs to look like for you.
Stage 02
Evaluate
We test its relevance against Indian curricula, price points and school priorities.
Stage 03
Strategise
We agree the target segments, the commercial model and a first-year sales plan.
Stage 04
Connect
We introduce and demonstrate the solution to schools that genuinely fit.
Stage 05
Implement
We coordinate onboarding, deployment and teacher training school by school.
Stage 06
Grow
We manage support, renewals and expansion into new grades, branches and groups.
The first 90 days
What actually happens after you sign
A market-entry plan is only as good as the first quarter of execution. This is the schedule we hold ourselves to, and the one we report against.
Weeks 1 to 2
Product and commercials
Full product training for our team, agreement on India pricing, margins, demo assets and what we can and cannot commit to a school.
Weeks 3 to 6
Target list and first meetings
A named list of schools by board, city and buying window, and the first principal-level meetings booked from existing relationships.
Weeks 6 to 10
Demonstrations and pilots
In-school demonstrations, pilot agreements where the sale needs proof, and early feedback on what the market is objecting to.
Weeks 10 to 13
First closures and a real forecast
First signed schools, a pipeline you can plan against, and a written view of what the next three quarters should deliver.
We report fortnightly: meetings held, stage of each opportunity, objections heard and what we are changing because of them. No quarterly surprises.
Training and implementation
Beyond sales. We make solutions work.
Education products fail in schools for predictable reasons: teachers were never trained properly, no one checked usage after the first term, and there was no local person to call. We close all three gaps.
- Product orientation for school leadership
- School onboarding and rollout planning
- Teacher training, on site and online
- Academic workshops by subject
- Implementation and technical coordination
- Usage monitoring and reporting
- Refresher training each term
- Day-to-day customer support
- Structured feedback to the brand
- Annual review before renewal
