Built for the parent who deserved better information
India's first independent school rating platform — honest audits, real voices, no marketing.
There’s no honest guide to Indian schools. So we built one.
India has over 1.5 million schools. Every year, millions of families make one of the most consequential decisions of their lives — with little more than a brochure to go on.
We'd watched parents visit eight schools, collect eight brochures, and still not know which one was right. No one was asking about mental health support. No one was checking whether safety protocols worked. No one was talking to teachers about whether they felt heard.
So we built an audit that does all of that — and a platform around it.
What honest school information looks like

Four things that don't change.
What drives every decision we make
Give every Indian parent the honest information they deserve — regardless of connections, city, or budget.
We exist to make the most important decision a family makes a little less stressful and a lot more informed.
Honest. Rigorous. Warm. Independent. Always on the side of the child.
We rate, we don't rank. We elevate, we don't shame. And we never let commercial interests shape what we publish.
Built by three founders and a team that cares.

The HappySchools team
Bengaluru · 2025 · Still figuring it out, honestly.
We started in Bengaluru.
This is every city's problem.
If you're a parent — we hope HappySchools makes the hardest decision a little easier. If you're a school — we hope it gives you something worth working toward.
