The Kolkata angle for tutors

Durga Puja week (5-6 days in October) sees 4-6× the normal load; businesses without WhatsApp automation get overwhelmed and lose 30%+ of festive demand.

Fee collection eats 4-6 hours/week

Sending individual reminders, taking screenshots of UPI confirmations, marking the spreadsheet. The work compounds when you have 50+ students across 3 batches.

Parent updates are inconsistent

Some parents get test results; others find out from their kid. Class cancellation goes out at 9pm for a 7am class — not everyone sees it. Avoidable churn.

Demo class to enrolment funnel leaks

Parent attends demo, says 'I'll let you know.' You never hear back. No follow-up sequence means 60-70% of demo-attended leads never convert.

Language + voice in Kolkata

Bengali-Hindi-English mix; older customer base prefers Bengali; younger customers comfortable in English.

Doggu's voice agent auto-detects Bengali, Hindi, English and switches mid-conversation if the caller does. WhatsApp templates can be approved in any of the languages your customers actually use.

Class reminders + cancellation

No surprises for parents
