NagaEd

What NagaEd does

NagaEd is a digital education company founded in 2020 in Kohima, Nagaland, India, by Kevisato Sanyü and Shiroi Lily Shaiza. It builds and operates a web-based Learning Management System (LMS) — built on Canvas and hosted on AWS infrastructure with React and Node.js components — that enables schools, colleges, and government education departments to deliver digital classrooms, manage courseware, assess students, and run blended-learning programs. Content is aligned to the Nagaland Board of Secondary Education (NBSE) curriculum and India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, and is co-designed with Australian educators alongside local teams. The product portfolio includes the core LMS, an Instructional Design Studio (professional services for course digitization), Teacher Training Courses, free Student Resources (Classes 8–10), a Digital Class platform, an Integrated Curriculum (socio-emotional learning, Classes 2–4) developed with Simple Education Foundation, and a state-mandated School Safety Policy Compliance Course. In March 2026, the company launched Livi AI, an AI-powered digital teacher delivered via WhatsApp that provides curriculum-aligned guidance, quizzes, and feedback to high school students.

NagaEd generates revenue primarily through negotiated multi-year subscription contracts with schools and institutions for the paid tier of the LMS, supplemented by paid professional services spanning training, course digitization, and instructional design. A free tier (Student Resources, self-serve) supports top-of-funnel acquisition. Distribution is anchored by direct enterprise field sales into schools and government education departments, supplemented by NGO and foundation channels (Central Square Foundation, ELEVATE Foundation, Alsisar Impact, HDFC Parivartan) and self-serve digital access. The company maintains two offices — a Kohima headquarters and a Dimapur registered office — and operates with a team of approximately 20–30 staff spanning program management, software engineering, instructional design, and field operations across Nagaland districts including Kohima, Peren, Mon, and Longleng. In March 2022 it became the first Naga company to procure Foreign Direct Investment, and it has since extended into Mission SOAR (state-level education reform) and partnerships with Nagaland University and NEPED, the latter broadening scope beyond K-12 into higher education and clean energy.
