CatalystBox is a national feedback and intelligence infrastructure that makes student voice measurable, visible, and actionable — across schools, districts, states, and the nation.
The education ecosystem suffers from a severe feedback gap. Students face systemic issues daily — but have no safe, structured way to be heard.
Schools lack real-time feedback systems. Education boards lack ground-level insight. Without data, policy decisions are made in the dark.
CatalystBox deploys six interconnected components that transform raw student voice into structured national education intelligence.
No login required. No personal identifiers. QR code access with multilingual support — ensuring every student can speak freely and safely.
Custom-built AI tools — attendance predictors, lesson plan generators, homework helpers, timetable optimisers — deployed directly into school operations.
Each school sees its happiness scores, teaching quality, bullying reports, and infrastructure complaints — with city, state, and national benchmarks.
A national ranking system measuring school performance across five weighted parameters — creating accountability and healthy competition.
AI-powered trend detection identifies rising incidents and declining satisfaction before they become systemic crises, with NLP sentiment analysis.
Based on data insights, schools receive tailored AI tool recommendations — from attendance predictors to lesson plan generators and discipline monitoring.
A composite score built from five key dimensions of school health — making performance visible, comparable, and improvable for every institution.
Students, teachers, or parents scan a school-specific QR code — no app, no login needed.
Choose a feedback category and submit anonymously in any supported language.
NLP and ML models analyse sentiment, detect trends, and flag emerging issues in real time.
School admins see actionable insights, scores, and benchmarks against city and national averages.
Boards and policymakers access aggregated, anonymised intelligence for evidence-based reform.
CatalystBox is built as sustainable public infrastructure for education — with multiple value streams that serve schools, boards, researchers, and the broader education ecosystem.
Aggregated intelligence sold to NGOs, policy institutes, CSR programs, and think tanks making decisions about India's education.

CatalystBox is not merely a startup — it is public digital infrastructure for education. Like Nielsen for media, like Glassdoor for workplaces, CatalystBox becomes the trusted voice of students across a nation.
CatalystBox was born from a simple observation: India has 1.5 million schools and 250 million students — but no structured way for any of them to be heard.
We're changing that. Not as a technology product, but as public infrastructure for a more accountable, more responsive education system.
Across India's education system, critical issues go undetected. Bullying is underreported. Teaching quality is untracked. Mental health stress builds silently.
Not because no one cares — but because no one ever built the infrastructure to listen at scale. CatalystBox is that infrastructure.
Students speak freely only when they know they're safe. Every submission is completely anonymous — structurally guaranteed, not just promised.
Turning individual voices into aggregate intelligence that informs policy decisions at district, state, and national level.
Governed by an independent advisory board — committed to being neutral infrastructure, never a political or commercial tool.
Built to operate across every type of school — government, aided, private — in every language, in every state.
Yatesh founded CatalystBox with a clear-eyed conviction: the biggest problem in Indian education isn't the absence of solutions — it's the absence of honest, real-time data to understand what the actual problems are.
Fresh Eye Foundation exists to build tools that give the education ecosystem a clearer, more honest view of itself — and the data to act on it.
CatalystBox is governed by an independent advisory board to ensure it remains trustworthy infrastructure — never a tool for surveillance, politics, or commercial exploitation.
Experienced school leaders who ensure the platform reflects classroom realities.
Child and adolescent psychologists who guide safe, ethical feedback design.
Education policy specialists who connect insights to actionable reforms.
Advocates who ensure anonymity, data protection, and student safety.
Each school partner gets a live analytics dashboard — showing scores, trends, and benchmarks that help administrators understand and act on what their community is experiencing.

CatalystBox follows the blueprint of institutions that became indispensable by making invisible things measurable.
Nielsen became indispensable to the media industry by creating neutral, trusted audience measurement infrastructure. Before Nielsen, media decisions were made on intuition. CatalystBox does the same for education.
Glassdoor transformed workplace transparency by giving employees an anonymous, structured voice. It became the most trusted signal of organisational health. CatalystBox does this for schools — at national scale.
Everything schools, boards, and partners commonly ask about CatalystBox — answered honestly and clearly.
CatalystBox is a national education feedback and intelligence infrastructure built for India. It gives students, teachers, and parents a safe, anonymous channel to share their experiences — and turns that feedback into structured insights for schools, education boards, and policymakers.
Think of it as the central nervous system of education feedback — making student voice measurable, visible, and actionable at every level.
CatalystBox serves the entire education ecosystem. Students, teachers, and parents are the primary voices. School administrators and education boards use the analytics dashboards. Policymakers, NGOs, researchers, and CSR foundations use the intelligence reports to make informed decisions.
Yes. CatalystBox directly supports NEP 2020 principles — including student voice, holistic education, mental health focus, and data-driven policy making. It provides the feedback infrastructure that NEP 2020's vision requires but which currently does not exist in a structured form.
✓ NEP 2020 AlignedNo special hardware is required. CatalystBox works through QR codes and mobile web — students simply scan a code and submit feedback on any smartphone. School administrators access dashboards through a standard web browser. No app downloads, no installations.
Yes — completely. CatalystBox is designed from the ground up for anonymity. No login is required, no personal identifiers are collected, and responses are not linked to any device in a way that can identify an individual. Only aggregated, anonymised data is ever shown in dashboards.
Even school administrators cannot trace a response back to a specific student, teacher, or parent. This is a structural guarantee, not a policy promise.
🔒 No Personal Identifiers CollectedCatalystBox stores anonymised feedback responses, the school identifier, the feedback category, and timestamps for trend analysis. It does not store names, phone numbers, email addresses, photos, or any information that could identify a respondent.
This is architecturally prevented. Individual responses are never surfaced in dashboards — schools only see aggregate scores and trends. There is no way for administrators, teachers, or anyone else to associate a specific response with a specific person.
Never. Individual or identifiable data is not shared with any third party. Aggregated, anonymised insights may be made available to researchers and policy institutes — but these contain no information traceable back to any individual.
Each school receives a unique QR code. Students scan it with any smartphone — no app needed — and are taken to a simple, mobile-friendly form. They select a feedback category, answer a few questions, and submit anonymously. The entire process takes under two minutes.
📱 Any Smartphone · No App · MultilingualCatalystBox covers bullying and harassment, teaching quality, mental health and academic pressure, infrastructure and facilities, general school environment, and parent engagement. Schools can also request additional categories specific to their context.
Yes. CatalystBox is designed for the entire school community. Parents have forms focused on communication and transparency. Teachers can share professional feedback about working conditions and resources. All responses remain equally anonymous.
Each school has a unique QR code and submission token. The system uses IP clustering and device-level signals to limit duplicates and detect anomalous patterns. The AI layer also flags statistically unusual spikes for review — ensuring data integrity without compromising anonymity.
Each school receives a live analytics dashboard showing their CatalystBox Score, student happiness index, teaching quality rating, bullying incident trends, infrastructure complaints, and academic pressure indicators — all benchmarked against city, state, and national averages.
📊 Live · Benchmarked · ActionableThe CatalystBox Index is a composite school performance score built from five parameters: Student Wellbeing (25%), Teaching Effectiveness (20%), Learning Environment (20%), Future Readiness (20%), and Parent Engagement (15%). It allows schools to track improvement and compare themselves to peer institutions at every level.
Feedback is processed in near real-time. Dashboard metrics update on a rolling basis as new submissions arrive. AI-flagged alerts are generated daily, and comprehensive monthly reports are produced for administrators and boards.
Yes. Education boards have access to an aggregated board-level view showing performance trends across all affiliated schools. This gives boards powerful ground-level intelligence for policy decisions and targeted interventions.
CatalystBox offers a growing suite of AI tools purpose-built for schools: an AI Attendance Predictor, AI Lesson Plan Generator, AI Homework Helper, AI Timetable Optimiser, and an AI Discipline Monitor that uses feedback patterns to recommend early interventions.
Schools can also partner with us to co-develop custom AI tools based on their specific needs and their own data.
