The dawn of technology has changed everything around us, right from the way we access data to the way we communicate today. However, the Indian education sector is still an unexplored market, yet to be influenced by technology. Observations depict that, in India there are more than 260 million students enrolled in over 1.5 million schools, a majority of which still employ the traditional management techniques where operations like new admissions to fees collection, attendance calculations, record management and many more are performed manually. Avinash Moharil, an industry veteran with over 28 years of industry experience, including over 13 years of experience in IT companies of Silicon Valley realized that, while India was welcoming new technologies in other industries, the influence of technology was almost negligible within the educational industry. Teachers spent most of their valuable teaching hours in managing attendance, records, mark sheets, scores, and there was very slight communication between the parents and school teachers.

Realizing the need to address these gaps within the education sector, Avinash Moharil and Neelam Moharil teamed up to establish Techior Solutions Pvt. Ltd., a software development company recognized globally for its specialization in education based software. "When I first saw the Indian education sector, I noticed that a lot of mandatory operations were still performed manually. Schools were not using professional software. While few schools had switched to using bits and pieces of software for their operations, rest were still using excel files to manage data. However, times have changed now, and there will never be a better time for schools to change than now. I realized that the schools lacked a solution which could assist them in their school management operations. This is when I decided to enter the educational sector and started developing School Management ERP solutions," shares Avinash Moharil, CEO and Managing Director, Techior Solutions.

Offering a Complete Gamut of School Management Solution

A pioneer amongst education software providers, Techior Solutions was established with a vision to deliver feature-rich School Management solutions that includes various modules ranging from pre-admission to admission, fees collection, student attendance, biometric attendance, managing test marks, score cards, CCE report card, staff management, payroll, HR, inventory, bus transport, library, hostel, visitor management, time table generation and many more. The firm's extraordinary products are offered under two categories - Administration and Online Test Generator. Techior's Administration focused products include School Management Software which has been developed exclusively for management of day-
to-day schools activities, admission management, monthly fee collection, attendance reporting and others; Institute Management Software which has been created for Coaching Institutes and Online Institute Management, web-based software that helps in management, right from Enquiry to Certification. The Online Test Generation centred products are Question Paper Generator, an exclusive product which allows to create question bank for various programs, classes, chapters and allows to store question bank data in an organized manner; Online Test Generator which creates a test from one location and other user can use it at different locations, especially built for multi-branch management and an Online Digital Learning and Test Engine which helps provide content to your students via internet. The Android based platform allows anytime anywhere learning and practice.

"Our Test Paper Generator has been created keeping in mind the turmoil that teachers and administration face before examinations. From marking questions in book or giving handwritten questions to DTP operators who convert it to digital format, to proof reading the test papers and then handing it over to the DTP operators, there is an entire cycle of manual work in between. At Techior, we have created software that helps in test generation in just one click. Our ready-made question bank for various boards makes it easy for schools to conduct exams. The software is competent enough to support mathematical equations, images and multiple languages. While one can generate objective, subjective, or board pattern exams very easily, our software also allows teachers to enter their own questions in the software or import data from word documents as well," adds Neelam Moharil, Director, Techior Solutions. With most examinations having moved from regular paper test to online test, Techior now has a platform where students of all fields can practise before the exams and access and analyse their learnings.

Vesting its focus on bridging the gap between teachers, parents and students, Techior's ERP software are available both, in LAN as well as cloud platform, enabling schools to conduct timely and effective communication between school and parents through SMS and online student portal. The firm also offers Self-Learning CDROMs to provide an innovative way of learning concepts through animations and audio explanation through CDs. Today, with its vast range of products and services, Techior Solutions offers a unique vision and extensive experience to deliver value to its customers. Driven by the values of innovation and customer-centric approach, the firm has turned out as a trusted school management solution provider for over few hundreds of customers who are using their school management ERP right now. "School Management ERP is one of our flagship products. Because of its requirement across the globe, it has opened up a new market for us in other parts of the world. Each school can have its specific requirement and we have made sure to take care of it by generalizing it in our software. We ensure that our software is simple and of top-notch quality. We also offer post-installation support on call or via emails. The whole goal is not just to sell the software, but also to make sure that the clients are using it and they are getting the full benefit out of the software," utters Avinash.

Concluding the discussion by throwing light on the future roadmap of the company Avinash says, "We believe that technology is the new game-changer. With the advent of digital payment methods in India, it is essential that the schools also adopt online payments. In the coming years, we are looking at building a platform that will provide a payment gateway to help schools to accept fees online. We are also developing an Android based application which will help students from class 1 to Engineering or Medical to take care of everything that they are coming across during the course of their education. Right from learning of the concept, adjusting of the theme, taking practice tests, paying the fees, ordering books or study material online, our platform will assist them. It will be a unique application which will be a one-stop mentor for the students whether they are going to school or to a coaching class. We are focused towards making a considerable change within the overall education ecosystem and we are satisfied to have been able to contribute our share devotedly over the past years."
