They make most of their little ideas by copying West but fail to talk with actual users(Indian schools, teachers) and improve, customize product to Indian scenario. IITian's should first come up with original ideas and stop copying Western ideas. This will happen when they put Indian needs and scenario at center of their thinking.

They also have online video modules, so that is no longer a market differentiator.

We build this platform while studying at IIT and everyone(both teachers/students) used to love it for many reasons. Users have instant access to all the assignments, lecture notes, assignment submissions, grades etc. And most importantly, students used to have discussion over problems on the forums Consider a class of 500 students (1st year). Its very difficult for a student to ask a question in the class and same way its difficult for teachers to address to each and every students query. These queries are pretty easily answered on Intinno's discussion forum where even other students can help you in your problems. Moreover, we successfully conduct test/exams on Intinno which helps teachers a lot in grading/evaluation. Well I might have to disagree on that.

For two reasons mainly : 1.) They are apprehensive of their data going out of the campus, 2.) Video streaming is much faster with an in-house installation. Anyway, we provide support for both :) Please send us your details and queries regarding sales at sales@intinno.com and we will contact you.

Students do want to access their notes on the fly and when I did the market survey its the staff who don't want to take much of pain to upload the things.. However, things are changing and we are hoping for the best. Thanks Hi

Do the school/college pay for them or is it built into your subscription fee that you charge the school? The product looks neat though from the screenshots. Good luck in cracking the Indian market. Its a big opportunity with very little innovation around provide services to this sector. So who pays for the SMS alerts?

There is a lot of potential for cloud computing in the educational sector. I tend to think adoption will be slow but steady. Best of luck. Hi Arpit,

In todays day and age any webapp thats not as simple as twitter is a tough sale The point here is the Indian classroom is already social in real time wit teachers and students , are we talking of a duplication of tasks online , again a great app for a virtual classroom when we get there A students mind 'I have had enough of my teacher at school why do I want to connect with em on a SN' ? great platform , adoption would be a concern.

Well offline installations and providing service is a old ship.

I congratulate you on this good task.. and let me know about the marketing issue, r u planning to have state wise marketing guys who can visit schools or collages provide demo and get them as clients OR open to all who sell will get commission amount? Let us know..so that i might try a bit Thanks & Regards Sai Pothuri Hello Arpit Jain

To answer Kamal's concern, all data uploaded on Intinno is stored in a SCORM compatible format which is the current standard for storing e-learning data. And, so it is portable to any service of your choice. As far as security is concerned, we use cloud base hosting and our servers are pretty secure. For schools/colleges who are too much concerned about their data being stored outside their campus, we provide and maintain offline installations as well. However, we don't prefer that :-) Hi Kamal and Sai,

See people create product to simplify one task, so better if this is going to solve some problem, let it solve And coming to security, service the people must provide a bond that they will provide service for a period of time. and coming to data security, each and every school management needs to know where the data is being stored and how it is getting protected. So that this will enable the knowledge in school management sector.. Lets hope a Web 2.0 government :) Thanks & Regards Sai Pothuri Dear Kamal

My concern is about the long term viability of the company especially since schools have to put their data in your system. You need to be able to build a trust factor that the company will be around for sometime. Using open standards and making the data portable to other systems will help mitigate the risk. How about using existing software services like Google Docs in the backend? This will give more flexibility to users. A collaboration platform for Indian classrooms – Sounds like a good idea.
