Entri is a three-year-old, Kochi-based startup that provides vernacular upskilling courses—initially in Malayalam and since expanded to Hindi, Telugu, Kannada and Tamil. Its catalog includes more than 150 pre-recorded video courses and quizzes that run 30–60 days, covering government-exam prep, languages, accounting and popular computer applications. The platform offers some free content in certain languages, with full access gated behind paid subscriptions priced from ₹300 to ₹10,000 (most popular tier ₹1,500). Entri targets learners across education levels, from school dropouts to graduates, focusing on the roughly 100 million people who apply for government jobs each year and those lacking English proficiency. The company reports more than 3 million users, about 90,000 paying subscribers, and is adding close to 10,000 paying subscribers each month. Revenues surged 150% in the last three months and annual recurring revenue has reached $2 million; the team aims to scale ARR to $5 million this year. Entri operates a vernacular test-prep app offering video classes and mock exams, with most content available offline. The company pivoted from a video-led competitive-exam coaching service to focus on government job preparation and launched local-language content starting with Malayalam PSC exams. It now offers content in Telugu, Kannada, Tamil and Hindi and works with about 45 academic heads and freelance content experts. Entri adds roughly 6,000 users per day and has about 1.6 million users today, planning to reach 10 million users in the next 18 months. The startup is also adding up-skilling courses given that only about 2% of users obtain government jobs. Entri was founded in 2017 and is based in Ernakulam.
