What Chrysalis High does

Chrysalis High is a privately held K-12 educational institution headquartered in Bangalore, India, founded in 2012 by Dr. Sawal Das Jethani. It operates 10 campuses across Bengaluru neighborhoods spanning Bannerghatta Road, Begur Koppa, Kadugodi, Varthur, Gunjur, Yelahanka (two sites), Horamavu, Budigere Road, and the Marq township, plus the Chrysalis Kids Whitefield pre-school. The institution offers both CBSE and ICSE curricula from Nursery through Grade XII, with select campuses upgraded to CBSE Senior Secondary status. It serves Bangalore-resident families seeking full K-12 continuity within a single brand.

The school's product portfolio layers a standard CBSE/ICSE academic core with several proprietary programs: PUPA (a parent-teacher-child methodology for understanding pupil attributes), CHAMPS (a structured sports and performing arts program), CRISP (clubs and enrichment), CHISEL (skills development), STEaM (integrated science/tech/engineering/arts/mathematics), and an Individual Support Program (ISP) for differentiated learning. Underlying technology is operational rather than pedagogical: a website-based parent portal (app.coolg.in), GPS-enabled school bus fleet with in-bus CCTV, campus-wide CCTV surveillance (120+ cameras cited), and RO water systems. Teaching delivery uses a 2-Main-Teachers-per-classroom model with student-teacher ratios of 1:8 in Nursery and 1:15 from Jr KG through Grade IV.

The business model is a recurring annual subscription built on tuition fees charged across the academic year (April-March), bundled with optional transport and meal services, plus one-time admission charges. Admissions are direct-to-consumer, handled through a centralized admissions team and campus-level walk-ins, with seats allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Revenue streams are entirely consumer-paid; no enterprise contracts, sponsorships, or third-party funding are disclosed. Pricing is not publicly posted; the Rs. 1,000 admission form fee is the only quantitative pricing reference. The institution is privately controlled by the founder with no disclosed external funding rounds.
