Five pillars

Everything a school day needs.

Not just an ERP. Not just a chat app. A calm, complete view of the school day: built from the ground up for India, for schools and colleges, for parents who don't want to live on WhatsApp.

Safety01

We're tracking the bus so you don't have to.

Like Uber, but for your child's school bus. The driver's GPS pings every 15 seconds, the map is live, and you get a confirmed alert the moment your child boards: and the moment they're safely at school.

  • Live Mapbox map, updated every 15 seconds
  • Bangalore-aware ETAs (ORR, Sarjapur, Tarahunise)
  • Boarding alerts with timestamps
  • One-button driver SOS

Communication02

We're connecting you to the class teacher.

Like texting, but private, school-owned, and the teacher's number stays theirs. Text or voice notes. Read receipts so you know they saw it. No group, no forwards, no "did anyone get the homework?"

  • Voice notes for one-handed parents
  • Read receipts
  • Realtime delivery
  • No teacher numbers exposed
Read more
Academic03

We're surfacing every academic moment.

Like a report card that updates itself. Per-subject attendance, homework with reference photos, test marks the moment they're recorded, behaviour observations tagged by tone. No spreadsheet exports. No quarterly surprise.

  • Per-period attendance, not just daily
  • Homework with attached images
  • Test marks with trend lines
  • Behaviour notes, positive, neutral, concern
Read more
Health04

We're keeping health data where it belongs.

Allergies, medications, conditions, emergency contacts, kept encrypted in India, visible only to the school office and the people you choose. Never sold, never used to train models, never shared with advertisers.

  • Severity-tagged allergies
  • Emergency contact tree
  • Blood group and care notes
  • Per-field visibility controls
Read more
The whole child05

We're making the soft-side school day visible.

Like Instagram stories, but for your child's small wins. Behaviour observations from the teacher. A friendship circle showing who they're doing group work with. The signals that decide whether they're thriving: surfaced gently, early.

  • Behaviour notes tagged by tone
  • Friendship circle
  • Weekly praise summaries
  • Story-style highlights on Home

Why Kindred exists

We built India's banking. We built India's hospitals. We never built our own schools.

When I went to school in Shimoga and later in Bengaluru, my parents had almost no idea what I was up to between the morning bus and the evening one. A folded note about a missed test would arrive a week late. A behaviour issue would surface in a fifteen-minute parent–teacher meeting six months after it happened. The teacher's number was either everyone's or no one's.

Twenty years later, my baby cousins go to school the same way. Paper diaries that go missing. WhatsApp groups that drown out the one message that mattered. Parents who only learn their child was absent when the bus stopped at the school without them.

India has built the software that runs the rest of the world's banks, hospitals and airlines. But the place we send the people we love most, our schools, still operates on the same accountability gap as 2005. Kindred is the answer to one question: what would it take for every parent in India to know, in calm and verified detail, how their child's school day actually went?

Live tracking on the bus. A confirmed timestamp the moment they're safely at the gate. A direct line to the class teacher that doesn't disappear into a group of forty parents. A monthly attendance calendar that doesn't need a phone call to access. Accountability, not vague reassurance.

I'm building Kindred in Bengaluru, hosted entirely in India, and I will never sell your child's data. If you'd like to talk, aryan@kindredschool.in.

Why parents pick Kindred

  • Live GPS so you always know the bus made it.
  • One bell for the whole school day: no more WhatsApp chaos.
  • Made by parents, for parents. Voice notes welcome.
  • DPDPA-compliant. Your child's data never leaves India.
  • Completely free: for the school and for you.

Honest answers

Questions parents and principals actually ask.

What does Kindred cost?+

Nothing. Kindred is free for schools, for colleges and for parents: no licence fee, no per-student charge, and no paid tier held back. Nobody sees a bill, nobody sees an ad, and nothing is sold about anyone.

Where is my child's data stored?+

In India. We have no replicas outside India. We are DPDPA-compliant by design. Not retrofitted later.

Will you use our chats or photos to train AI?+

No. We don't train any models on user data. We don't share data with third-party AI providers. We don't share data with advertisers. We make no money from your data.

How is Kindred different from MyClassboard, Fedena or CampusCare?+

Those are ERPs, built for the school office. Kindred is built for the parent. The school office gets a clean admin console, but the surface area is the parent experience: live bus, calm feed, direct teacher chat. Different product entirely.

What if my school isn't on Kindred yet?+

Forward this page to your principal or office team. We can pilot one class for two weeks, free. If parents in that class love it, we roll out school-wide.

Does the bus tracking really work on Bangalore traffic?+

Yes. The driver's phone broadcasts GPS every 15 seconds, and the ETA uses Mapbox's live traffic for routes through ORR, Sarjapur, Hennur, Whitefield and Tarahunise. We tested it for months before launch.

What devices do drivers need?+

Any Android phone made in the last 4 years. Battery life: 4–6 hours of broadcasting on a charge. Schools provision the phones. We don't.

Can I delete everything if I want to leave?+

Yes. That's your right under DPDPA. Email us and we delete every record we hold about you and your child within 30 days, with confirmation.
