Online test series is one of the most scalable EdTech businesses in India. With the right platform and content strategy, a single educator can serve thousands of students across the country with zero additional fixed cost per new student. This guide walks you through launching your test series business from scratch.
PrepLab has helped dozens of educators launch and scale test series businesses.
Step 1: Choose Your Niche Exam
Do not try to cover everything at once. Pick one exam to start: JEE Mains, NEET, SSC CGL, IBPS PO, UPSC Prelims, or a state PSC. Your first 100 students will come because of your depth, not your breadth.
