Zero friction for the student. Zero distribution cost for EduKart. The school is the channel.

The Problem

Every student. Every year.
The same broken experience.

300M+ Indian students face this annually. The market is suffering in plain sight.

❌ Wrong books, wrong edition

No direct link between school book lists and purchasing — parents get wrong editions every single year.

🚫 No home delivery exists

Local bookstores are walk-in only and chaotic at year-start. Nobody delivers a complete curated set.

📱 No digital backup

Books get lost or damaged with no softcopy fallback. Students fall behind class from Day 1.

📚 Exam book chaos

JEE/NEET students need 25–40 books across publishers. No single place to order all of them.

🏫 Institutes have no system

Coaching centres hand out lists manually. Students scatter across shops on enrolment day.

⏰ Weeks wasted annually

Parents and students spend days hunting books at the start of every academic year. Nothing has changed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions?
We've got answers.

How does the QR ordering system work for schools? ▼
Once a school signs a simple MOU with EduKart, we generate a unique QR code for each class or batch. This QR code is pre-loaded with the exact book list for that class — right edition, right publisher. When a parent or student scans it, their cart auto-fills instantly. No searching, no wrong editions. They simply review and pay. We handle the rest — packing and delivering the complete set to their doorstep within 48 hours.
What does it cost for a school to partner with EduKart? ▼
Absolutely nothing. The QR service is completely free for schools. There is no setup fee, no annual cost, and no risk to the institution. EduKart earns its margin from the book orders — schools simply provide us access to their booklist and help distribute the QR code. It's a zero-friction, zero-cost partnership from the school's side, making adoption effortless.
Which cities and boards does EduKart currently support? ▼
EduKart is launching first in Mumbai, covering CBSE, ICSE, and Maharashtra State Board schools. In Phase 2 (months 7–18), we expand to 3 cities and add JEE/NEET exam bundles. By Year 2, we target 10+ cities nationally. If your school is in our launch city, reach out now — early partners get priority onboarding and dedicated support throughout the first academic cycle.
How does EduKart guarantee 48-hour delivery? ▼
Since school book lists are fixed and published well in advance, EduKart pre-stocks inventory at a local warehouse before the academic season begins. Unlike generic e-commerce, we know exactly which books each school needs before a single order is placed. This predictable demand allows us to pre-buy, pre-pack, and dispatch within 24 hours of an order — delivering to doorsteps within 48 hours via trusted 3PL partners like Shiprocket and Delhivery.
I'm an investor — what stage is EduKart at and what is the raise? ▼
EduKart is at the idea stage and raising ₹1.2 Crore in seed funding. The funds will be deployed toward warehouse setup and initial stock (35%), technology build — platform, QR system and app (25%), team hires — CTO, BD, and Ops (20%), marketing and school acquisition (15%), and legal/compliance (5%). We are seeking a founder-believer investor. The target is Series A-ready metrics by Month 18. Please fill out the contact form below or call +91 98765 43210.
Does EduKart cover JEE and NEET books too, not just school sets? ▼
Yes. JEE/NEET aspirants typically need 25–40 books across multiple publishers — an average spend of ₹3,000–8,000. EduKart will offer curated exam book bundles for each target exam, partnering with coaching institutes via our B2B channel. Coaching centres share our QR with students on enrolment day, triggering bulk orders with zero effort on the centre's side. EduKart pays the institute a 3–5% referral commission per order fulfilled.
