SUPERNOVA

🟡 95% of Indian kids can't afford to spend more than Rs. 5,000 per year on education outside of school.

🟡 65% of Indian kids go to government schools. Another 30% go to affordable private schools that charge around Rs. 15,000-Rs. 20,000 per year.

🟡 Till now, Indian ed-tech has built expensive products for the top 5%. Majority of Indian Students can't afford them.

🟡 Most ed-techs chase the same 5% kids and hence CAC end up being more than LTV, making the space capital inefficient.
