School ERP for international schools. Where the office is the weak link.
International schools in India usually have the academic side well covered and the office running on spreadsheets — because the software that handles IB properly rarely handles Indian fee collection, and the software that handles Indian fees rarely handles IB.

Both halves, one system
The IB Diploma's seven-point scale, its core points from Theory of Knowledge and the Extended Essay, and CAS as a completion requirement. The MYP's criterion-based assessment. Cambridge's separation of coursework from external results, and predicted grades kept distinct from mocks. All modelled the way each programme works.
And then UPI, Razorpay, direct bank reconciliation and Tally export, because the school is in India and the fees are collected here regardless of what curriculum is taught.
Families who move
- Mid-year admissions and exits that prorate correctly across every fee head.
- Transcripts and transfer certificates produced on demand for a family relocating.
- Foreign-currency billing alongside rupee billing on the same fee structure.
- Email as the parent channel for families abroad, carrying the same content as the WhatsApp message domestic families receive.
- Multiple guardians per student with their own contact preferences and permissions.
University applications
Predicted grades captured per subject and released on the school's timetable. Counsellor notes and recommendation tracking against the student. Deadlines per university and per student, with the chase-list the counselling office actually needs in October.
It sits on the same student record as everything else, so a transcript request doesn't mean assembling a document from four places.
Compliance is still Indian
An international curriculum doesn't exempt a school from Indian requirements. Staff payroll with PF, TDS and Form 16. Student and staff data in the shapes required for statutory reporting. Transfer certificates in the format an Indian school a student moves to will expect. All of it comes off the same records.
Frequently asked
What does Inkwelly cost?
₹49–₹199 per student per year, flat at any school size — no enrolment slabs and no per-module upsell. A 500-student school on the middle plan is about ₹49,500 a year. Migration, training and setup are ₹0. The only external costs are WhatsApp message fees and your payment gateway's transaction charge, both billed at cost.
How quickly can we go live?
Go-live can be the next working day. You pick the date; we don't need months of parallel running to get there. Bringing across years of historical records — old marks, past fee ledgers, archived certificates — runs on its own track afterwards and doesn't hold up day one.
Does the IB side actually work, or is it a percentage gradebook relabelled?
It's modelled per programme. The DP runs on the seven-point scale with core points and CAS as a completion requirement; the MYP is criterion-based, with the subject grade derived from criteria rather than an average. If your current system makes teachers compute backwards from a percentage, that's the difference you'll notice first.
We bill some families in foreign currency.
Supported alongside rupee billing on the same fee structure, with mid-year joins and exits prorating properly across every head.
Can we manage predicted grades and university deadlines?
Yes — predicted grades per subject released on your timetable, counsellor notes against the student, and deadlines per university and per student. It's on the same record as academics, so producing a transcript isn't an assembly job.
We run an Indian board alongside IB.
Common, and it works as one school. Each programme keeps its own assessment model, report card and fee schedule, with a single student and staff directory across both.
Where is our data, and can we get it out?
Hosted on AWS Mumbai. Daily encrypted backups, role-based access, and a full export in standard formats whenever you ask — including on the way out.
Can we try it before committing?
90-day paid pilot on your real data. If it isn't working at day 90, pro-rata refund and your data back in standard formats. We don't offer a free trial on dummy data — it proves nothing to either of us. The pilot runs on your real students, your real fees.
