Opening to early cohorts this year

Learning thattalks back.

Most online courses hand you a video and walk away. ApnaCourse builds learning the way a social network works — experts host communities, learners argue and answer inside them, and the material keeps getting updated because the pricing depends on it.

Four things happen inside a community

A community is a topic plus the people working through it. Everything ApnaCourse does sits on top of that one idea.

Learn

Video, audio, decks, documents and quizzes, held together as one storyboard you work through at your own pace.

Engage

Every community runs a message thread. Reply with a video, drop a PDF, tag someone straight into the story you're stuck on.

Collaborate

Study circles let a few students break off into their own group for project work, revision or a doubt session.

Coming soon

Upskill

Stock markets, a new framework, a language, Zumba. If somebody cares enough to teach it, there's room for a community around it.

Public or private. You pick who walks in.

Experts host communities in one of two shapes. Both carry the same tools — the difference is who can find you and how the money works.

Open to everyone

Public communities

Anyone browsing ApnaCourse can find you and subscribe. What you pay to host is set by how many active subscribers you have — so a community only costs real money once it's genuinely working.

  • Listed to a global audience from day one
  • Popularity-based hosting fee — free until 100 active subscribers
  • Half of every subscription fee goes to you
  • Learners get three days free before they commit
Invite only

Private communities

For a coaching batch, a corporate cohort or your own students. Nobody sees it unless you send them in, and you can switch a student's access on or off whenever you need to.

  • Unlimited private communities per educator
  • Free for your first three students, then ₹49 each per month
  • Turn individual access on or off at any time
  • Same storyboards, threads and analytics as public

Built for the person teaching

Launch a community in a few minutes, then spend your time on the material instead of the machinery.

Storyboards

Sequence videos, podcasts, presentations, documents and quizzes into one continuous track. Add to it whenever you like — subscribers see the update immediately.

Message threads

Post announcements, answer questions, tag a learner into the exact story their doubt belongs to.

Student dashboard

Hours watched, who is keeping pace, who has gone quiet, which stories people rewatch. Per learner, not just per cohort.

Earnings that scale

Half of every subscription fee is yours. The more people stay subscribed, the more the community earns — and the more it costs to host.

Teach from anywhere

No studio, no campus, no fixed batch timings. Set up from home and reach learners in any timezone.

Enterprise LMS

For L&D teams: unlimited communities and users, custom workflows, SSO, API integrations and a named support escalation path.

The price follows the popularity

Most platforms charge you the same whether your community is thriving or empty. Here, the hosting fee for a public community moves with the number of people actively subscribed to it. Drag the meter to see what a community costs at different sizes.

Public community hosting

A community with nobody in it is free to run. As subscribers arrive, the fee steps up — which is the nudge to keep the material fresh rather than shipping it once and disappearing.

Active subscribers: 240
101 – 500 subscribers

Questions we get asked

If your question isn't here, write to us and we'll answer it properly.

What is ApnaCourse, in one paragraph?
ApnaCourse started in 2013, when the idea of a MOOC was barely known in India. The platform we're building now is a community-based one, aimed at two problems online education never solved: learning alone is isolating, and course material goes stale the moment it's published.
How is this different from other edtech platforms?
Online courses gave people convenience but lost two things classrooms had — other people, and material that kept up. We handle the first by building the platform like a social network, with threads and study circles inside every community. We handle the second through popularity-based pricing, which only rewards an educator who keeps the community alive.
Who can host a public community?
Anyone with something to teach. The range is wide on purpose — finance for non-finance managers sits alongside Zumba. What matters is that you actually want to teach it.
Can I create a private community?
Yes. If you're a teacher, trainer or tutor with your own students, private communities are invite-only and unlimited in number. They're free up to three students across all of them.
What can I put inside a community?
Video, audio, PDFs, presentations, files and quizzes — arranged as stories in a storyboard. On top of that, learners respond through messages and video replies, so the community keeps producing material of its own.
What is a study circle?
A small group students form inside a community for project work or doubt-clearing sessions. It's the next feature we're shipping; join the waitlist and we'll tell you when it's live.
