Overview

EdTech App Development Company in Ahmedabad

Raqbash is an edtech app development company in Ahmedabad that builds iOS and Android apps for schools, coaching institutes, colleges, course creators and training teams, designing learner, teacher and admin apps as one product.

Education apps are judged on the weakest phone in the class. A JEE aspirant in Paldi may share a 3 GB Android with a sibling, a parent in Maninagar may read Gujarati first, and a leaked lecture series can cost an institute next year's admissions.

What we build

EdTech Apps We Build

We build six kinds of education apps, from one school's parent app to a multi-centre coaching platform.

  • School parent and teacher apps

    Attendance alerts, homework, fees, bus tracking and circulars in one place.

  • Coaching and test-prep apps

    Lectures, ranked test series and doubts for JEE, NEET, GPSC and UPSC.

  • eLearning and course apps

    Catalogues, previews, certificates and subscriptions for creators selling direct.

  • University and college apps

    Timetables, attendance, results and campus services in one login.

  • Corporate learning apps

    Compliance deadlines and offline microlearning for office and plant staff.

  • Kids learning apps

    Gamified lessons with a parental gate, screen-time limits and no ads.

Must-have features

Must-Have Features in an EdTech App

Six features decide whether students and parents keep the app.

  1. Live classes that hold up on 4G

    Agora, 100ms or Zoom Video SDK sessions with polls, recorded for absentees.

  2. Offline downloads that stay protected

    Encrypted lectures that play only in the app, expire with the course and carry a student-ID watermark.

  3. Tests with analysis students actually read

    Timed tests with negative marking, topic-wise accuracy and batch rank.

  4. Doubt solving from a photo

    Students photograph a question, tag the chapter and get a faculty answer.

  5. Fees in instalments, paid in the app

    Instalment plans, UPI payments through Razorpay or Cashfree, GST receipts and due-date reminders.

  6. Parent notifications that respect attention

    Attendance, results and fee reminders in Gujarati, Hindi or English, or one evening digest.

Native vs cross-platform vs PWA

Native vs Cross-Platform vs PWA for EdTech Apps

Cross-platform suits most education apps; native code earns its place in DRM playback and capture protection.

Native, cross-platform and PWA compared for edtech apps.
FactorNative (Swift, Kotlin)Cross-platform (Flutter, React Native)PWA (web app)
PerformanceFastest over long video sessions.Near-native for classes, tests and payments.Weak for live classes.
Device accessFull: DRM players, capture flags, downloads.Most, with native DRM modules.Limited; no protected offline video.
CostHighest: two codebases.Lower: one codebase.Lowest, but no store presence.
Time to marketSlowest.Faster; one release train.Fastest.
Offline useStrong, with encrypted downloads.Strong, via native download modules.Basic; no DRM offline.
Best forVideo-first apps at very large scale.School, coaching, course and campus apps.Admission forms and webinar sign-ups.

Our recommendation: Choose Flutter or React Native, with native modules for DRM, downloads and capture flags. Keep a PWA for enquiries.

Security, compliance & store readiness

Security, Compliance & App Store Readiness for EdTech Apps

We build to DPDP Act 2023 practices for children's data and protect paid video with DRM. We work with your legal adviser; we do not certify apps.

Children's data with parental consent

The DPDP Act needs verifiable parental consent for under-18s and bars targeting them with ads. The Rules exempt some education uses.

Paid content kept paid

Widevine and FairPlay DRM, a moving ID watermark, and capture blocking where the OS allows.

Kids Category and Families readiness

Apple Kids Category and Google Play Families rules for young audiences, with parental gates.

Store billing mapped before launch

Digital courses sold in-app usually need store billing; Google Play also offers user choice billing in India.
  • OWASP MASVS-aligned security testing
  • Role-based access by user type
  • Data hosted in an Indian cloud region
  • WCAG 2.2 AA checks

What drives the cost of an edtech app

  • Video and DRM

    Live classes and DRM add provider fees.

  • Number of apps

    One learner app costs far less than four roles.

FAQ

EdTech Mobile App Development Services in Ahmedabad: FAQs

Straight answers for edtech app buyers.

How much does an edtech app cost to build in India?

Typically ₹9–20 lakh for a first learner app with recorded lectures, tests, payments and an admin panel. Live classes, DRM-protected downloads and parent or faculty apps usually bring it to ₹20–45 lakh. School groups, universities and enterprise learning platforms start at ₹45 lakh. We fix the figure in writing after scoping.

How long does it take to build an education app?

Usually 12–18 weeks for a first learner app and 5–9 months for a platform with several apps. We plan backwards from your academic calendar, because an app that lands mid-term or during board exams gets ignored. DRM and live-video provider onboarding run alongside the build, so neither delays the launch.

Should our learning app be native or cross-platform?

Cross-platform suits most education apps. Flutter or React Native gives one codebase for iOS and Android and handles classes, tests, payments and notifications well. We add small native modules for DRM playback, offline downloads and screen-capture protection. Fully native apps make sense mainly for very large video-first products with a big engineering budget.

How do you handle children's data under the DPDP Act?

We build for parental consent from the first screen. The DPDP Act 2023 treats anyone under 18 as a child, requires verifiable parental consent, and bars tracking, behavioural monitoring and targeted advertising aimed at children. The DPDP Rules set how consent is checked and exempt some education uses. Your legal adviser confirms what applies.

Can the app connect to our school ERP, LMS or HR system?

Usually, yes. If your ERP, Moodle instance or HRMS has an API, the app reads students, batches, marks and fees from it, so staff never enter data twice. Older systems can often share data through scheduled exports. We make real API calls during scoping, because integration access decides cost and dates.

Will Apple and Google approve our edtech app?

Most well-prepared education apps are approved without major trouble, but two areas draw close review. Apps for young children face Apple's Kids Category rules and Google Play's Families policy. Apps selling digital courses must follow each store's billing rules for in-app content. We prepare the declarations and review notes, then handle follow-up.

What does an edtech app cost to run after launch?

Two parts: a support retainer, and usage fees for video, DRM, cloud and SMS that rise with watch hours. The retainer covers new iOS and Android versions, store policy changes, library upgrades and bug fixes. We estimate the monthly total alongside the build quote, since video is the line most often underestimated.

Can you stop students from recording or sharing paid lectures?

Partly, and we are honest about the limits. DRM stops downloaded files playing outside the app, Android can block screenshots and recording, and on iOS the app can detect recording and hide the video. Nothing stops a second phone pointed at the screen, so a visible watermark with the student's ID makes any leak traceable.
