A friend recently told me he wants to build an AI chatbot for school websites.
I asked him one question: “Will schools actually pay for it?”
Because here’s the ground reality. In India, most schools:
- Pay for basic billing software
- May have a simple student management system
- Keep their websites minimal
Beyond that, spending on software is isn’t an accepted norms for them yet.
So before building anything advanced: AI chatbot, automation, analytics…
You have to answer one thing: Can you sell it?
If the market isn’t ready to pay, even the best product will struggle**.**
