How a Pune edtech startup went from selling 40 licences per month to 400 during Covid

According to sales figures for 2020-21, Pune-based edtech startup Proctur, which provides solutions to digitise educational institutions, has grown 10 times last year. “One year back, we were selling 30-40 licences per month but now it is 350-400 licences per month,” says Nishant Agarwal, founder.

Proctur, especially useful to those offering coaching, has a user-base of more than 2,500 institutes, 15,000 teachers and 10 lakh students. Since the time it was founded in 2015, the company found that this sector was hesitant to adopt new technologies. During the Covid-induced lockdown, however, everything changed and Proctur’s product became very prominent in the market.
