6 Classrooms — own the return, skip the classroom
6 classrooms (2 × 3-classroom modules)
Either grow into this by expanding an already-proven 3-classroom centre, or build directly — see /model/financials for both paths.
Premises fit-out and equipment. Rests on a scaling assumption, not yet independently confirmed.
Real cumulative peak from the month-by-month model — runs at ₹12.4L/month, offset by revenue as it ramps, not a flat multiple of the monthly figure. Estimate pending final confirmation.
Capex + ₹6L security deposit + ₹72.6L peak working capital. Full capacity 864 students; breaks even at 526.
This range covers premises fit-out and working capital together — we’ll confirm the exact figure for your town on a call.
You don’t have to build 6 classrooms on day one. Most partners start with the 3-classroom format above, and only pay to expand once that centre is already full — at 432 students, adding the second module costs a further ₹26.9L in incremental fit-out and deposit, funded by the running centre’s own revenue. That is meaningfully less than the ₹55L this page quotes for building all 6 classrooms outright, because it reuses the site, admin footprint and proven demand instead of starting from zero. Building direct still makes sense for a partner who can secure a larger site now and wants the bigger centre from day one.
- All staffing
Recruits, trains and manages academic coordinators, subject teachers and admin staff. Partner requirement: none of the work — but the salaries are paid from the partner's own opex working capital, not by Qlass.
- Academics & curriculum
Personalised learning plans, adaptive tutoring, continuous monitoring. Partner requirement: none.
- Technology
AI Tutor, QCIS and AI Copy Evaluation deployed on site. Qlass owns all IP; this is IP and platform access, not a cash contribution.
- Admissions & marketing
Lead generation, CRM and parent-teacher meetings — run by Qlass, paid for from the partner's opex working capital. This is what fills the centre, not the partner's own effort.
- Fee collection
Digitised, centralised collection and EMI administration. Partner requirement: none of the work.
- Brand and operational management
Qlass owns brand standards and runs every day-to-day decision — staffing, admissions, delivery — but contributes no capex or opex funding to any of it. Every rupee of running cost is the partner's.
- Capital
Premises, fit-out (capex) AND 12-18 months of the centre's own operating costs as working capital (staff salaries, admissions spend, everything) — Qlass contributes no capex or opex funding at any point. The working-capital requirement reduces as revenue ramps. Formats run ₹30L to ₹1.15Cr total — see /pitch for the exact figures by format.
- Premises
Identifies and secures a site meeting Qlass's criteria on catchment, footfall and space. Qlass approves the fit.
- Local goodwill
Referrals welcomed, never required.
30% of gross revenue
Indicative — the final split is confirmed for your specific location during commercial discussions. Qlass takes the remaining 70% as its return for running admissions, staffing and academic delivery — it does not fund any of your capex or opex; that is entirely your working capital (see above). This is a revenue-share partnership, not a fixed-return instrument: figures below are illustrative projections, not guarantees, and depend on actual centre enrolment.
A single 3-classroom centre’s real modelled enrolment over 5 years — expanding to 6 classrooms automatically once it fills up.
| Year | ROI | ROCE | Payback |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | 46.5% | 112.1% | 2.15 yrs |
| Year 3 | 58.1% | 140.1% | 1.72 yrs |
| Year 5 | 69.7% | 168.1% | 1.43 yrs |
From building 6 classrooms directly from Day 1 — a different, not fully independently audited scenario from growing into 6 from a proven 3-classroom centre. See /model/financials (internal) for both paths.
The technology you’re actually buying into
Several of these are public products you can try right now — not slides.
24/7 AI academic support on WhatsApp — no app to install, answers in 5 languages including Hindi, Bhojpuri, Magahi and Maithili.
Live as "Diya" at our Khagaul, Danapur and Patna centres — visual recognition, voice-aware memory, 12+ languages auto-detected.
Every student's own learning path, built from their QLASS ID's real attendance and test record, not a generic syllabus.
CBSE-compliance-audited workbooks and daily practice problems, Classes 3–12 — planned by every teacher through our own Qlass Sessions platform.
AI classroom-quality audit — accuracy, pacing, engagement, live.
Automated, rubric-based answer-sheet scoring at scale.
A relationship, not a transaction
A satisfied family doesn’t switch schools mid-way — once a student joins, they tend to stay for years, on an escalating fee. That’s why academic outcome is the whole game: a Results Guarantee track and a documented 15.8% average improvement are what keep a family enrolled long enough for this to pay off.
| Joins at | Years | Lifetime value |
|---|---|---|
| Class 5 (early joiner) | 8 years (Classes 5-12) | ₹294K |
| Class 8 (mid joiner) | 5 years (Classes 8-12) | ₹150K |
| Class 11 (late joiner) | 2 years (Classes 11-12) | ₹63K |
Why this isn’t a pitch deck bet
AI Tutor, QCIS and AI answer evaluation run daily at our Khagual centre — not a roadmap.
3,267+ active learners, 900+ teachers trained, 15.8% avg. academic improvement.
Convened Bihar AI Summit 2026 (15,000+ attendees). Backed by NITI Aayog & IIT Patna.

Why Qlass, and not the alternatives
You’re really choosing between three categories — an offline coaching franchise, a national online platform, or Qlass.
| Dimension | Coaching franchise | Online platform | Qlass |
|---|---|---|---|
| Proof before you invest | Varies by brand; many outlets, uneven quality | Not centre-based — no local proof point | One proven, revenue-generating centre (Khagual) — real financials to inspect |
| Personalisation & technology | Low — one-size-fits-all batches | Medium — self-serve, unsupervised | High — AI Tutor, QCIS, AI Copy Evaluation live in daily use |
| Brand & institutional access | Local reputation only | National brand, limited local ties | Bihar AI Summit convener; NITI Aayog, IIT Patna, SCERT relationships |
| Centre-level quality control | Manual, inconsistent across outlets | N/A — no physical centre | QCIS — centrally auditable across every classroom |
| Your operating burden | Usually run staff & academics yourself | N/A | None — Qlass runs staffing, admissions, fees. You're a passive investor. |
