Built in India. For schools that want their teachers to actually use the software.
CHERIEDU.COM is the company behind CHERI SMS, CheriMathLab and the DATA GEEK training series.
What we’re building
CHERIEDU.COM was founded with a narrow mission: make education software that the teachers in front of the class actually want to use. The product line that follows from that is small and intentional.
- CHERI SMS The core school-management platform: academics, attendance, fees, communication, online classes, AI insights. Built to coexist with whatever ERP your school already runs, not to demand a wholesale replacement.
- CheriMathLab Live today at cherimathlab.com. The math and science engagement platform that lives inside CHERI SMS, with quizzes, AI tutoring, math battles and a curated library of 451+ study documents. Free for every student through 2026.
- DATA GEEK series Practical Data Science, AI and ML Engineering training, built by engineers rather than academics. Part of the CHERI SMS umbrella so schools can build the data literacy of their own staff and students.
Where we are right now
CHERI SMS is rolling out to its first schools through the pilot programme. CheriMathLab is already live and used by students every day. We are currently working with early pilot schools and share only numbers we can verify — see the trust signals section.
What Makes CHERI SMS Different
AI-First Approach
Unlike traditional software, CHERI SMS is built with AI at its core. Our 29 AI tools automate tasks, predict outcomes, and provide actionable insights.
All-in-One Platform
No need for multiple vendors. 50+ integrated modules cover everything from admissions to alumni management in one unified system.
Mobile-First Design
An installable web app (PWA) for teachers, students and parents. We designed for the phone first because that’s where most of the day-to-day school interactions actually happen — no app store needed.
Built for the audit conversation
AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit, multi-tenant isolation, audit logs that survive an external auditor. The security and compliance page goes into detail.
Indian language support
Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali and several other regional languages, with the locale flowing through into report cards and parent communications, not just the menu.
A real implementation lead
The pilot, training and the first months of rollout all run through one named person on our side, not a ticket queue. The onboarding page spells out exactly who’s involved.
