Yet another Indian startup joins FBStart program

Tutor enablement platform XPrep is the latest to join the FBStart, designed to help early-stage mobile startups. Under the program, the company receives $40,000 worth of credits and services from Facebook and its partners like AWS, Dropbox, Adobe and MailChimp.

Taking a cue from the hardships faced during their coaching days, IIT Roorkee alumnus Mukul Rustagi and NSIT alumnus Bhaswat Agarwal decided to start XPrep in September 2015. XPrep serves as a platform to fill the gap within the tutor-parent community. Establishing a continual and seamless engagement within the student-parent-tutor ecosystem is XPrep’s value addition. It enables parents to monitor their child’s progress during the course of tuition while helping tutors serve their batches efficiently and scale their business.

XPrep equips its tutors with a mobile app to assist them in conducting their classroom and communicating with the parents in a transparent manner, all on their fingertips. The mobile app lets tutors perform daily tasks like sending out announcements, conducting their quizzes and notifying their classes using the app’s automation techniques.

Commenting on the development, Mukul Rustagi, CEO, XPrep, “There lies a huge opportunity in supplementing the assistance based offline education system using online technologies. We have to provide the kids with the best of both worlds. Paying customers are a testimony to our product and we aim to build better going ahead. FBStart is going to help us achieve this goal faster.”
