Case study
A CRM for a driving school that ran on paper
I found the client at the RTO office and had a working prototype in his hands two days later. There are 1,063 students on it now.

How it started
I was at the RTO office when I overheard a driving school owner asking someone if they knew of any software for running a school. I got in touch with him afterwards.
The problem
Everything lived on paper or in WhatsApp chats. Student records, payments, RTO paperwork and new enquiries were all in different places.
The enquiries hurt the most. When nobody followed up, the person just went to another school.
What I built
I asked him to walk me through a normal week, then built a prototype in two days and handed it to him and his staff to use.
It tracks enquiries, keeps student records, generates invoices and handles the RTO steps. Whenever they hit something awkward, I fixed it in the next round.
Result
He paid ₹48,000 for it and it’s still in use. There are 1,063 students on it, and far fewer enquiries slip through.
