Notesgen operates as a peer-to-peer digital marketplace focused on the education technology sector. The company was founded in 2014 by Manak Gulati, Rajeev Ranjan, and Kaustubh Rishi and is headquartered in New Delhi, India. The concept originated from the founders' own experiences as students and the persistent demand for quality, relatable study materials. Manak Gulati, the CEO, holds degrees from Jaypee University of Information Technology and Carnegie Mellon University and was inspired by his mother, an educationist at NCERT.
The platform enables students, educators, and institutions to buy and sell user-generated educational content, including handwritten notes, assignments, presentations, and research materials. This model creates a global community for peer-to-peer and peer-to-group learning, supplementing traditional academic and exam preparation. Sellers can upload their content in various formats and set their own prices, with Notesgen taking a commission on each transaction. To protect intellectual property, buyers can view materials within the app or a dedicated file viewer but cannot download or copy the content. The platform also incorporates social features, allowing users to follow creators and create a personalized content feed.
Notesgen serves a broad market, from school-level students to those preparing for competitive exams like IAS and JEE, and even professional courses. Its business model is twofold: a marketplace commission system and a "Partner Program" that allows educational institutions to deliver their professional content to a targeted student audience. This provides an additional revenue stream through targeted advertising and notifications. The company has secured approximately $863K in funding over several rounds, with its latest angel round in January 2020 raising $360K.
