Digital Transformation for a Travel Agency

Client Overview

Our client, a rapidly growing EdTech startup based in India, is on a mission to democratize education by making high-quality learning resources affordable and accessible to students across the country. Their focus was on competitive exam preparation for JEE, NEET, and UPSC — some of the most sought-after and demanding exams in India.

With an increasing shift toward mobile-first learning, they envisioned launching a robust, user-friendly mobile app that could offer a comprehensive digital learning experience — including video lectures, quizzes, personalized study paths, and offline capabilities.

Challenges

Before engaging with our team, the client faced several critical obstacles:

Lack of existing digital infrastructure: No web or mobile platform to start from.

Urgency to launch: A fast-approaching academic season demanded rapid development and deployment.

Offline access : Many users, especially in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, require video downloads for learning without continuous internet access.

Scalability concerns : The platform needed to support thousands of concurrent users, especially during exam season.

Revenue model integration : The app needed in-app purchases and a tiered subscription system for monetization.

Consistent UX across devices: A seamless experience across Android and iOS was non-negotiable.

Our Solution-Driven Approach

To ensure we built the right product for the right audience, we began with a comprehensive discovery phase, involving:

Market and competitor research

User persona creation

Technology evaluation and roadmap planning

We recommended a cross-platform mobile app built on Flutter, enabling faster development and maintenance while delivering a native-like experience on both Android and iOS platforms.

Agile Development Sprints: The project was divided into three agile sprints to streamline progress and ensure timely delivery:

Sprint 1: Set up core architecture, designed an intuitive UI/UX, and built the user onboarding flow and dashboard.

Sprint 2: Integrated a custom video player with download functionality, built a dynamic quiz engine, and developed the course structure.

Sprint 3: Enabled in-app purchases, conducted extensive testing, and implemented performance optimizations.

Key Features & Implementation Highlights

Seamless Video Learning: Leveraging AWS CloudFront and S3, the platform ensures high-quality video streaming and fast, reliable downloads. Adaptive bitrate technology automatically adjusts video quality based on the user’s internet speed, providing smooth playback even in low-bandwidth environments—crucial for students in areas with limited connectivity.

Interactive Quizzes: The platform includes MCQ-based quizzes with instant scoring and real-time feedback. Users can track their progress across different topics, reinforcing learning through active participation and helping educators identify knowledge gaps early.

Monetization Capabilities: Built-in monetization tools include tiered subscription plans supported via Razorpay and Google Pay. The platform accommodates both one-time purchases and recurring payments, making it easy to generate revenue while offering flexible access options for users.

User Engagement: Push notifications and in-app announcements keep users informed about new courses, deadlines, and updates. These engagement tools help boost course completion rates and ensure timely communication with learners.

Security & Admin Controls: A fully encrypted backend protects sensitive student data, ensuring privacy and compliance. The admin dashboard provides real-time analytics, user management, and complete control over content, making it easy to monitor platform health and performance at a glance.
