EdTech · 720-hour cycle
kaedax builds production education software — AI-learning platforms, classroom and LMS tools, assessment engines — in a fixed 30-day (720-hour) cycle. Curricula align to CBSE's AI skill subject (codes 417/843) and NEP 2020; DPDP-compliant student-data handling, parental-consent flows, vernacular-ready UI, and low-bandwidth-first design are in the spec from day one.

[ §01 ] the problems we're hired for
Tools built for US districts assume one device per child, fast wifi, and no board exams. CBSE/ICSE/state-board structures, shared devices, vernacular instruction, and parent visibility are bolt-ons at best — so adoption dies in the staff room.
Kids use ChatGPT daily while schools debate banning it. Institutions need structured AI literacy — real syllabus, guardrails, assessment — not a chatbot pasted onto a textbook. That's a pedagogy problem before it's a software problem.
DPDP treats children's data as a special category: verifiable parental consent, no tracking-based profiling, strict purpose limitation. Most edtech retrofits this after launch. Retrofitted consent is how edtech companies end up in the news.
Tier-2/3 schools run on shared bandwidth and intermittent power. If the product isn't offline-tolerant with sync reconciliation, half the country can't use it — and the demo that worked in the boardroom fails in the classroom.
[ §02 ] what ships
The shapes of education work that fit a 720-hour cycle. Every build ships with runbooks, monitoring, and 30–60 days of post-launch on-call.
Structured AI curriculum products like Gurukul: courses, lessons, quizzes with instant feedback, progress tracking, breakthrough feeds — with eval-gated AI tutors that stay on-syllabus and age-appropriate.
Assignments, grading workflows, announcements, attendance, parent visibility — the Google Classroom shape, adapted to Indian board structures and teacher workflows, in English plus vernacular.
Item banks, auto-graded quizzes, rubric-based subjective grading with AI first-pass and teacher sign-off, board-pattern mock tests, and integrity posture appropriate to the stakes.
Admissions funnels, fee management, timetabling, and reporting consoles for school networks and colleges — integrated with whatever ERP the institution already runs.
[ §03 ] proof
Our students were already on ChatGPT; our teachers were a year behind. Gurukul gave us a real AI syllabus, guardrails, and a teacher dashboard — live across 14 schools in one term.
[ §04 ] questions
Yes. CBSE offers AI as a skill subject — code 417 for Classes 9–10 and 843 for senior secondary — and NEP 2020 expects coding and AI exposure from Class 6. Gurukul's course structure maps to these frameworks, so AI classes slot into the timetable as a recognised subject rather than an extracurricular workshop.
Agency quotes for an LMS or learning platform MVP typically run ₹40 lakh–₹2 crore over 4–8 months. kaedax prices per fixed 720-hour cycle, shared on the scope call — fixed scope, fixed timeline, no overrun billing.
Yes — that's the core discipline. AI tutors ship behind eval harnesses that test for age-appropriateness, syllabus adherence, and refusal of off-topic or unsafe requests, with teacher-visible logs. Try Gurukul, our live demo: the AI features are guardrailed by design, not by policy document.
Children's data gets the strict reading: verifiable parental consent flows, no behavioural profiling, purpose-limited collection, and data residency in India. Consent state is modelled in the database from day one, not added before a compliance audit.
Yes — admissions ERPs, fee systems, Google Workspace for Education, and board-specific reporting formats. Integration chaos is normal in institutions; adapters and sync reconciliation are scoped into the cycle, not discovered after it.
A focused one, yes. Gurukul — the AI-classroom demo on this page, with courses, quizzes, progress tracking, and a teacher dashboard — represents a single-cycle build. Multi-tenant rollout across a school network is typically a second cycle.
