Deepak's profile on Product Hunt

About

I'm the CTO at Prolaud, a platform for educators who want to run live classes and sell their courses from the same place, on their own domain. Most teachers end up stitching together a video tool, a payments page, a spreadsheet of students and a folder of certificates. We put all of that behind one student record, then made the rest modular: degree programs, proctored exams and academic records are plugins you turn on when you actually need them, not clutter you pay for on day one. My side of it is the engineering: the live class stack, the plugin architecture, and keeping a room of 200 students from falling over. Before Prolaud I spent years in full-stack JS and product work, mostly in edtech. Happy to talk to anyone building for educators, or fighting with live video at scale.

If your customers are in India, does the standard SaaS price ladder still work?

Genuine question, not a humble brag about our pricing.

Most pricing advice assumes a US or EU buyer. $29 a month feels unremarkable there. Converted, that is roughly Rs 2,600, and for an independent tutor here running 40 students out of a WhatsApp group that is a real monthly decision, not a rounding error. The product costs us the same to run either way.

We sell to Indian educators, and every option has a catch.

Flat global price. Simple and honest, and it prices out most of the market we actually built for.

Prolaud: sell the course and teach the class in the same place. Launching 6 October.

Short version, since this is the forum for it.

Prolaud is a course platform with the live classroom built in. You schedule a live class and teach it in the browser. Students buy from a storefront on your own domain. Enrolment, attendance, progress and the certificate all hang off the same student record, so there is nothing to reconcile at the end of the month.

0% commission on sales. Payments settle into your own Razorpay account and we charge for the plan instead.

It is modular on purpose. The heavy institutional things, degree programs and proctored exams and academic records, are plugins you switch on the day you need them rather than clutter you pay for in week one.

Hi Product Hunt. I build a course platform with the live classroom inside it.

We were running online classes with four tools taped together. A video tool for the class, payment links pasted into WhatsApp, a Google Sheet for who had actually paid, a design tool for the certificate at the end. Every month a student's name fell through the gap between two of them.

That is the whole origin story. No manifesto.

So we built Prolaud. You schedule a live class and teach it in the browser. Students buy from a storefront on your own domain. Enrolment, attendance, progress and the certificate all hang off the same student record. We take 0% commission and charge for the plan instead, so payments settle into the creator's own gateway rather than ours.

We launch here on 6 October. Until then I am mostly reading and replying.
