A Parent’s Journey to Building a Better School Experience

Becoming parents is a life-changing experience. When my wife, Sukanya Balakrishnan, and I welcomed our child, we were excited about every little milestone. But as we stepped into the world of schooling, we quickly realized how outdated and inefficient the communication and management systems were.

Every school we explored relied on old-school ERP systems that did little to help parents stay connected with their child’s daily school life. Important updates were scattered across emails, WhatsApp messages, and printed circulars. We had no real-time visibility into what was happening in our child’s school.

As a designer and problem solver, I couldn't ignore this gap. I saw teachers struggling with endless paperwork, and parents feeling disconnected from their child’s progress. The existing solutions weren’t designed for real engagement between schools and parents—they were built for administrative records, not for the people who actually use them.

Solving the Problem, the Right Way

With a deep understanding of user experience and technology, I set out to create a seamless, intuitive, and human-centric platform that truly connects parents and schools. My wife, Sukanya, who shares the same vision, joined as a co-founder to shape Scool Panda into something meaningful.

Scool Panda is born—A Simple Yet Powerful Solution

We built Scool Panda with a parent-first and teacher-first approach, focusing on:

  • Real-time updates on attendance, activities, meals, and progress
  • Instant and seamless communication between teachers and parents
  • Automation of tedious school processes, giving teachers more time for what matters
  • A stress-free experience for schools, parents, and students

But we didn’t stop there

We strongly believe that better education starts with better systems. Every school in India deserves a modern, effective, and free solution to manage its operations effortlessly. Unlike expensive, outdated ERPs that serve no one, Scool Panda is built to serve schools, parents, and students alike.

That’s why we decided to offer Scool Panda free for all schools, helping transform Indian education into the next era of efficiency and connectivity.

We’re not just building software—we’re building a movement to empower schools, teachers, and parents to work together effortlessly. Because when communication flows smoothly, children thrive.
