What Worked
Offering free daily DPPs (Daily Practice Problems) on Telegram built a 40,000-student audience before we charged anything. First paid batch sold out in 48 hours at ₹8,000/year.
Biggest Mistake
Tried to match Allen's full-year content in year 1. A focused 90-day crash course for repeaters was 5x easier to deliver and 3x more profitable.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- 2.3M NEET-UG applicants annually for 100,000 seats — extreme competition drives coaching demand
- NEET-PG market (3L+ doctor applicants) is less crowded than UG
- Regional language NEET prep (Tamil, Telugu, Marathi medium students) is underserved
Cons
- Allen, Aakash, and Unacademy have dominant offline and online presence
- NEET controversy and potential restructuring creates regulatory risk
- High content cost — physics, chemistry, biology from NCERT to advanced level
Real-World Proof
2.4 million students appear for NEET-UG every year
— Only 100,000 MBBS seats available — 2.3M students fail each year, creating massive repeat-batch demand.
— Allen Online saw 10x growth during COVID — NEET online prep is now a proven market.
