Newron

Newron is a school management startup that offers great, comprehensive, and end-to-end solutions to severe yet unrecognized challenges in the Indian education system. While most school ERPs manage transportation and basic logistical aspects, Newron takes a technology-first approach for both the core academic side and the entire day-to-day management of an institution. In fact, they basically partner with schools in integrating and streamlining the functions of academics, operations, admissions, finance, HR, and parent engagement into one system-the consolidated ecosystem, giving school leaders the capacity to not only manage data but to manage the entire institution with insight and control. 

The company aims at key problems such as disconnected administrative functions, erratic curriculum execution, and visibility between the promise of a school and what is being delivered by it. By changing the way schools are managed and how these schools give and track their curriculum, Newron is redefining educational precision and operational efficiency. Presently, the company is catering to the needs of over 12,000 students and driving to reach 1Lac+ students by 2030. Biggest sustained growth is clearly coming from the Tier 2 and 3 locations where it plays an immense role in bridging the gap in education. The startup plans to double its reach by the end of the year and grows exponentially in 2026, fueled by the demand for integrated tech-enabled school management in these underserved communities.
