School ERP software that does the work, not just the records
Acadika is a school ERP (school management software) for Indian K-12 schools. It brings timetables and substitutions, exam date sheets, attendance, fee collection, circulars and complaints into one web app, and adds Nova, an AI assistant that admins and teachers can talk to. Pricing is public: from ₹10,000 a year plus ₹3 per student per month.

What is a school ERP?
A school ERP (enterprise resource planning) system is software that runs a school's administration in one place: student records, attendance, timetables, exams, fees and communication with parents. It replaces registers, spreadsheets and scattered WhatsApp groups with one shared system of record.
Most school ERPs in India store data in forms. Acadika also does the routine work on top of that data: it drafts circulars and fee reminders, proposes a cover plan when a teacher is on leave, and lets staff ask for things in plain language, by voice or chat, in English, Hindi or Punjabi.
Why schools choose Acadika
Acadika is built for Indian private schools: CBSE, ICSE and state boards, UPI payments, Indian holidays, and staff who work mostly on Android phones.
