Teachers across Bengaluru, Mysuru, Hubballi are leaving YouTube and Telegram for branded apps they own. Igniter ships every online teacher in Karnataka a full LMS — live classes, DRM video, mock tests, doubt-clearing, payments — on their own Play Store identity. ₹0 to launch, 5% only when a student pays.
Why teachers in Karnataka are moving
Most online teachers in Karnataka start on YouTube + Telegram + Razorpay links. That stack breaks the moment you cross a few hundred paying students — refund requests pile up, piracy links circulate on Telegram, and you lose ownership of your audience the day YouTube changes its algorithm.
Teachers in Bengaluru and Mysuru who hit ₹5–10 lakh monthly on content platforms consistently hit the same wall: no per-student analytics, no DRM, no parent dashboard, no way to segment buyers from free viewers. A branded app solves every one of those on day one.
Built for bilingual classrooms
6.8 crore people live in Karnataka, and for most of them Kannada is a stronger learning language than English. Generic LMS platforms ship only English interfaces, forcing teachers to record in English or lose rural-belt students.
Igniter lets you run your app in Kannada + English + Hindi — UI, push notifications, and payment receipts all localise. Teachers in Karnataka report 30–50% better retention when the app speaks the same language their lectures are recorded in.
Who's using Igniter
Across Karnataka, Igniter is the app of choice for independent teachers targeting KPSC / KAS, GATE, JEE — especially those who started on YouTube or Unacademy and want to graduate to owning their brand.
Karnataka is India's engineering-coaching powerhouse — Bengaluru leads GATE + PSU prep and runs the largest tech-creator audience outside the NCR.

FAQ
No. You can start with a personal PAN and Razorpay individual account. Most teachers in Karnataka upgrade to a registered proprietorship once monthly collections cross ₹5–10 lakh — your CA can handle that transition in a week.
Yes — in fact, most teachers in Karnataka use YouTube for free content and Igniter for paid courses. YouTube becomes your top-of-funnel; Igniter is where you monetise.
₹0 setup. No subscription. Igniter takes 5% only on actual course sales — so a teacher collecting ₹1 lakh a month pays ₹5,000 and keeps ₹95,000. If you collect nothing in a month, you pay nothing.
Yes. The admin panel + student app support Kannada, English, Hindi end-to-end. Push notifications, payment receipts, error messages — all localised.
It drops sharply. Igniter applies HLS encryption + per-user tokens + screen-recording blocks on Android. Determined bad actors can still camcord a screen, but the scalable Telegram-link piracy that kills creators on Google Drive disappears.
You choose. Option A — publish under your own developer account (one-time ₹2,000 Google fee, full control). Option B — publish under Igniter's Play Store developer account (₹0, we handle updates). Both give you the same branding and student experience.
Bulk import via CSV. Upload a list of phone numbers + names, we send each a branded SMS with a download link + auto-login token. Teachers in Karnataka typically migrate 60–80% of their Telegram base within the first week.
