Executive Summary

India has roughly 15 million students preparing for high-stakes exams like JEE and NEET, and many of them struggle with persistent conceptual gaps, inconsistent doubt resolution, and the high cost or uneven quality of synchronous tutors—especially outside major metros. That combination wastes study time and undermines outcomes despite an estimated $6.0B annual spend on coaching, materials, and tests. You could build a mobile-first, 24/7 personalized AI tutor that pairs an LLM-powered stepwise problem solver with an assessment-driven diagnostic engine, adaptive practice pathways, and human escalation for complex doubts; price it meaningfully below the current $400 average annual spend to win mass-market adoption. Include low-data/offline modes, curriculum-aligned content for JEE/NEET, and dashboards for students and parents to track measurable progress. The market is attractive now: the opportunity scores 93/100 on attractiveness with an 88/100 revenue potential because LLMs enable on-demand, stepwise explanations at scale, and rising smartphone/data access is expanding reach into tier-2/3 cities. At the same time, top platforms are normalizing personalization and assessment-driven learning, so user expectations are shifting toward the features this product would offer. To differentiate, prioritize academic validity—rigorous verification of stepwise solutions, tight alignment to exam patterns, hybrid teacher escalation, and proof of learning uplift (for example, percentile improvements on mocks) rather than positioning as a generic chatbot. Be candid about challenges: preventing model hallucinations, maintaining content quality at scale, earning trust from students and parents, and carving share in a medium-competition market will require strong content partnerships and continuous human-in-the-loop quality assurance.
