Fedena

What Fedena does

Fedena (operated by Foradian Technologies Private Limited) is a Bangalore-headquartered cloud school management SaaS platform founded in 2009. The product is a multi-tenant web-based ERP offering 100+ modules covering student admissions, attendance tracking, examination and gradebook management, fee collection, parent-teacher communication, timetable creation, HR and payroll, transport, hostel, and library operations. It targets K-12 schools, colleges and higher education institutions, and multi-school chains, with explicit support for CBSE, ICSE, Regional State Board, and International Baccalaureate curricula and localization in 20+ languages. The platform is built on Ruby on Rails, exposes a REST API secured via OAuth 2.0, and is supplemented by iOS and Android mobile applications (FedenaConnect, Fedena Academy) that can be branded per institution. Fedena self-reports 40,000+ institutional customers across 200+ countries and a 99% customer support satisfaction rate, with a stated GDPR posture for European customers.

The commercial model is annual SaaS subscription billed in advance, with multiple tiers scaled to institution size and an extensive menu of paid add-on modules (SMS, mobile app, biometric, vehicle tracking, payment gateway, video conferencing, e-learning). Secondary revenue is generated through Fedena Pro Services: implementation, data migration from legacy systems, customization and plugin development, plus online training and a certified professional program. Go-to-market combines product-led growth (14-day free trial, no credit card required) with enterprise field sales via Calendly-booked demos, self-serve distribution through Google Play and the Apple App Store, and a formal OEM/white-label and reseller Partner Program. The company operates without disclosed external funding, is privately held under Indian jurisdiction (Foradian Technologies Private Limited, Karnataka), and has a small team of 11-50 employees across multiple Bengaluru offices.
