The smart screen is already on the wall.
It just needs a brain that works without the internet.

Gyaan Setu is a plug-and-play edge device that turns idle Atal smart-class screens in rural schools into conversational AI tutors — fully offline, curriculum-mapped, zero recurring data cost.

The silent infrastructure crisis

Millions were spent connecting rural classrooms. Most of that hardware now sits dark.

The connected fallacy

Over 80% of rural schools equipped with smart-screen programmes — Atal ICT boards and local computer displays among them — sit idle or badly underused. Erratic electricity, unreliable broadband and recurring data costs make cloud-dependent edtech impossible to sustain outside cities.

Passive, outdated learning

When connectivity fails, classrooms fall back to textbook-only instruction. Rural students lose access to interactive AI assistance, personalised testing and adaptive feedback — widening the gap between rural youth and urban private schools.

AI-powered offline tutor

Transforming idle screens into interactive tutors

Gyaan Setu is a small edge server loaded with compressed, offline language models and the full regional school curriculum. Connect it to an existing Atal smart screen over HDMI or USB, and the screen becomes an autonomous, conversational, zero-internet tutor.

Where we stand today

Architecture & current stage

We validated demand before building blueprints, and we're building the hardware to match a pipeline that already exists.

100% offline edge tech

Our localised micro-computing server runs custom-compressed language models entirely offline — no cellular network or external data link required at any point.

Active trust & traction

Rather than pitch blueprints, we connected AI tools directly to school boards using mobile hotspots to demo student engagement — validating interest instantly, in real classrooms.

60+ partner pipeline

Deep, local trust built around Vadodara — 60+ rural schools are actively interested in integrating the offline add-on the moment hardware is ready.

Empowering the next million

Built for UN SDG 4 — quality education, regardless of geography

60+ schools ready for deployment

By bringing interactive AI directly into rural classrooms, Gyaan Setu makes sure a student's postcode doesn't decide their technological capability or career future.

  • Zero energy wasteLow-power, efficient microprocessors built for erratic rural power grids.
  • Teacher enablementAn offline teaching assistant that saves instructors hours on daily question generation and doubt resolution.

Sizing the opportunity

Addressing a massive, underserved market

Market metric Target scope Strategic relevance Expected reach (Yr 1–2)
TAM 1.2M+ government / aided schools in India All schools currently receiving government digital infrastructure funds. Initial state focus — Gujarat
SAM 100,000+ schools with smart screens Atal Tinkering Labs & ICT smart-class installations currently idle. 15,000 schools — West Zone
SOM 2,500+ schools in Gujarat Local district boards looking to reactivate non-functional setups. 60+ launch-ready — Vadodara

Sustainable growth model

How Gyaan Setu reaches classrooms

Revenue generation

A B2G and B2B hardware model. Gyaan Setu is packaged as a low-cost, one-time hardware purchase for school boards, funded through national infrastructure schemes such as Atal Tinkering Labs or CSR education grants — with ongoing support through annual curriculum-update licenses.

Channel partnerships

We don't sell door-to-door. We expand by integrating directly with central school hardware suppliers, government-empanelled contractors and regional education departments — as an authorised smart-screen add-on, not a separate purchase decision.

Scaling from hub to region

Where we're headed next

Q1 – Q2

MVP testing. Live hotspot demos in Vadodara schools to prove student and director interest.

Q3

Beta hardware. Testing fully local, compressed model integration on low-power edge boards.

Q4

Pilot launch. Deploying plug-and-play nodes to our initial pipeline of 60+ interested rural schools.

Next

Regional scale. Expanding across regional boards through district partnerships and CSR smart-classroom initiatives.

Bridging the educational divide, offline

Let's put a tutor in every idle screen.

We combine educational grounding with lightweight edge-computing expertise to solve India's rural connectivity challenge — one classroom at a time.
