7Classes

7Classes, operating under its legal entity Betr Tech Private Limited, is an educational technology firm based in Mumbai, India, founded in 2017. The company was established by a team of alumni from IIT, NIT, and Super30, including Anup Raaj, Arun Kumar Gupta, Ranjan Kumar, Arvind Patel, and Anup Kumar. Anup Raaj, an alumnus of both Super30 and IIT Bombay, serves as the CEO. The founders' backgrounds, some hailing from small villages, instilled in them an understanding of the importance of accessible and affordable education.

The firm targets the competitive exam preparation market, offering a platform for students from grades 4 through 12. Its client base consists of students aspiring to enter engineering (IIT-JEE), medical (NEET), and Olympiad programs, as well as those preparing for exams like SATs. The business operates internationally, with a focus on markets in India, Dubai, and the United States. Revenue is generated through a subscription-based model for its various courses and programs. In September 2020, the company secured an undisclosed amount of funding from Venture Catalysts. It has raised a total of $928K over four funding rounds, with the latest being a seed round in February 2022.

7Classes distinguishes itself through a model centered on small class sizes, capping each batch at just seven students to ensure personalized attention. A key feature is its "Confidence Diagnosis" technology, which assesses a student's confidence level on specific topics, categorizing it into master, misinformed, confused, or uninformed, allowing for targeted intervention. The platform also employs a two-teacher model and a structured 2:4:1 ratio of testing, lecturing, and doubt-solving sessions. Courses include JEE crash courses, K12, CBSE NCERT, and ICSE preparation. The company provides students with customized study plans, dedicated performance managers, counseling, and 24x7 doubt-clearing support. An affiliated app, InstaPreps, further extends their confidence-based learning approach.
