How Knowyu Works
One app, one safe identity, five workflows for school communities.
knowyu is a common India-first platform where schools, parents, students, teachers, and verified tutors operate under role-based guardrails and institution-scoped data access.
"Think of knowyu as a common network for schools, not a separate app per institution."

- Everyone uses one app with role-scoped experiences and institution boundaries.
- Learning loops run via doubt rooms, EduCorner, mock tests, and optional tutoring.
- Safety, moderation, and India-resident compliance run continuously in the background.
