The brand is set to record a 300% Y-O-Y growth going ahead, and in the next three years, aims to work closely with state governments to expand its offerings to public and private school networks across the country, transforming the assessment and learning methodology in the current education system.

The app currently has over 30,000 questions on Maths, Science, Social Studies and English for students of Class 6 to Class 10 and is based on the CBSE curriculum. Over 7.5 million questions have been solved on Class Saathi as of November, 2022.
TagHive was founded in 2017, as a product of Samsung C-Lab, and raised USD 2.5mn in a Series A funding to expand operations in India. TagHive introduced a clicker-based classroom response system and an AI-powered self-assessment solution app, called “Class Saathi” which made significant forays in government schools across various regional pockets of India, within just 2 years of its launch. Currently, 400,000+ students across India are engaging with the self-assessment solution. Speaking about the growth and the vision for Class Saathi,  Pankaj Agarwal, Founder & CEO TagHive, said, “The Indian education system is now rapidly embracing tech enabled tools and digital learning, especially after COVID. However, the core idea of assessments continues to remain the same for teachers. We recognize that there is an urgent need to close the learning gaps through a tech driven solution that facilitates continuous assessments, consistent performance tracking and data analysis and insights. And that is where Class Saathi Clickers have started to make an impact. Not only is our solution affordable and accessible even in remote areas with scarce internet penetration, it is also agile to accommodate the varied needs of both English and regional language assessments. In the coming years, we aim to become an enabler of choice for students, teachers and educational institutes seeking to enhance their assessments and performance monitoring capacities.”
The Indian edtech market is estimated to grow to USD 10.4 Billion by 2025, becoming the second largest market in the world, after the United States. According to UDISE, there are 14.89 Lakh schools, (10.22 Lakh public schools), and 26.52 Cr. students in India, that stand to benefit from a plethora of tech solutions across varied areas of learning. Backed by supportive government policies like NEP that is promoting digital learning and tech driven solutions, there is a tremendous potential for the sector to grow. And Class Saathi is already transforming the learning experience for Indian K-12 students, with the app being aligned with New Education Policy’s objectives of micro-learning and continuous assessments.
