Founder, PingerBird | Social learning for India’s competitive exam aspirants | 1,400+ downloads | ₹10L seed support from Bihar Startup Fund | Incubated at AIC-GIM (Atal Incubation Centre, Goa) | Raising pre-seed

About

I'm building PingerBird, a social learning network for India's competitive exam aspirants, in their own language. Students already study on Instagram, Telegram and WhatsApp, but none of them are built for learning. PingerBird gives coaching institutes and creators their own community, live ranked competitions and verified winners. Where we are: • 1,400+ downloads and a 5.0★ rating on the Play Store • A Chennai coaching institute moved its daily practice to PingerBird and said it would pay for it • Our first prize competition drew 175 registrations in 5 languages • ₹10 lakh seed support from the Bihar Startup Fund (₹4 lakh received so far) • Recently incubated at AIC-GIM Foundation, the Atal Incubation Centre at Goa Institute of Management • DPIIT-recognised I'm raising a pre-seed round and looking for advice from people who have built or backed edtech.
