Hyderabad, India — Amid India’s rapidly changing digital learning landscape, there is one startup that is making a quiet splash as a game-changer for students beyond the metropolises. Hyderabad-based rising edtech start-up Techsnap is on a mission to equip Tier-2 and Tier-3 students with actual, industry-standard tech skills — at a fraction of the cost of large platforms.
With its initial subscription rate of only ₹500 a month, Techsnap is disrupting the status quo of India’s edtech sector, which has long
been accused of forcing outdated, overpriced, pre-recorded courses down the throats of underprivileged students.
Students Are Tired of the Same Old EdTech
India’s edtech boom created hundreds of platforms — often owned by the same large Bengaluru-based parent corporations — that produce a number of different brands with various names. But the underlying product has not changed much:
- Pre-recorded videos from 2020 and 2021
- Minimal interactivity or project guidance
- ₹3,500–₹5,000 per course fees for outdated content
- Little or no career-focused guidance or AI-powered features
Students in smaller cities, who account for a gigantic share of India’s college population, have grown increasingly frustrated with this model — accusing it of being a “cash grab” that provides minimal returns in actual-world skills or outcomes.
Techsnap’s New Approach
Techsnap’s model is strikingly different — built from the ground up to address the exact gaps left behind by traditional players.
Its platform offers:
- Embedded compilers in every course page — so students can practice without switching tools
- Instant AI-powered doubt resolution using contextual “Ask AI” support
- Skillpaths and Careerpaths that navigate students like a GPS, from basics to deployment
- Live project-based training with real-world software workflows
- Mock test analytics, report generation for parents and colleges
- A competitive challenge ecosystem inspired by Kaggle and GitHub, focused on AI, Data Science, and DevOps
Unlike traditional LMS-portals, Techsnap blends learning, practice, and mentorship into one interactive space, optimized for students who cannot afford costly bootcamps or high-end laptops.
Positioned for the Next EdTech Wave
With India shifting under the NEP 2020 umbrella that focuses on skill development, digital learning, and hands-on exposure, Techsnap is set to spearhead a new category of AI-enhanced, outcome-based learning platforms.
It reaches the underprivileged students of colleges in India with something that’s both cost-effective and practical — filling the gap between employability and education.
The firm is now gearing up for a pan-India rollout, aggressively collaborating with universities, training partners, and recruiters to further amplify its presence.
A Quiet Rebellion Begins
While most edtech platforms are still sticking with celebrity endorsements and social media campaigns, Techsnap is choosing transparency, innovation, and affordability.
Its origin story — from humble roots in a region to creating an entire AI-first education platform — is already a model for a new type of edtech model: one designed for the students who will benefit most.
And it’s accomplishing it one student, one career, one ₹500 plan at a time.
