About

OpenSoftwares is a group of companies.

We architect software for the industries that build things — starting with education, and expanding into manufacturing and real estate.

Building better software for India's schools.

OpenSoftwares began with a simple observation: school administrators in Maharashtra were overwhelmed by disconnected tools — spreadsheets for attendance, registers for fees, WhatsApp groups for parent communication. We decided to build one system that does it all.

Today, Schoolmate by OpenSoftwares serves thousands of schools, making every campus more connected, more efficient and safer for students.

Beyond education, we are building specialised software for manufacturing and real estate — leveraging the same philosophy: deeply understand an industry, then build something that just works.


Mission and Vision

Mission

To make every school in India more efficient, connected and safe through beautifully designed, deeply integrated software — built for the realities of Indian education.

Vision

A future where every student in India has a school that runs like a well-oiled machine — where teachers teach, administrators manage with confidence, and parents stay connected without friction.

Our values

  • 01

    Deeply vertical

    We build exclusively for specific industries. Generalist software rarely does any one job well. We go deep, understand workflows, compliance, and culture — and build accordingly.

  • 02

    Simplicity first

    Our users are school principals, teachers and parents — not power users. Every feature must be immediately usable, even on a first login, without a manual.

  • 03

    Reliability above features

    A school needs to know that fee collection will work on a Monday morning without fail. We prioritise uptime, data safety and consistency over feature velocity.

  • 04

    Built for India

    Maharashtra PT compliance, CBSE report cards, UPI fee receipts, SMS in Marathi — we build for Indian regulatory and cultural realities, not adapted from global templates.

From idea to a thousand schools.
