Started in Kolkata in 2012 with one offline application for a government school. 650+ institutions have come on board since.
Lamda Infotech started in 2012 building a single offline student-management application for government schools in West Bengal. It was not a product strategy — it was one school that needed its registers to stop being paper, and a piece of software written to do exactly that.
What followed was thirteen years of the same conversation with different institutions. Every school had the same underlying problem — the same data written down in four places, none of them agreeing — and every school had one or two things about it that were entirely its own. So the software grew in two directions at once: a common core that every institution gets, and the ability to change the parts that are particular to yours.
That is still how we work. We are not a reseller and we did not licence this platform from anyone. We wrote it, we host it, we support it, and when an institution needs something it does not yet do, the people who can change it are the people you are already talking to.
Alongside the ERP we do the rest of the IT work institutions and businesses need — websites, Android apps, attendance hardware, SMS and payment integrations. Same team, same phone number.

An ERP that makes a school change how it runs its exams to suit the software has failed. We would rather change the software. That is only possible because we own the code, and it is the main reason institutions stay with us.
A class teacher taking attendance on a phone between periods has thirty seconds and no patience for a manual. If a screen needs explaining, the screen is wrong. That constraint has shaped more of the product than any feature request.
Nobody stays with an ERP because of a feature list. They stay because when something broke on the morning report cards were due, somebody picked up. That has been our answer to competition since the beginning, and it is deliberately expensive for us.
We introduced a free version for small government schools in 2016, and hundreds run on it. It is hosted, backed up and updated like every other account. A school with no budget is still a school with records to keep.
2012
Lamda Infotech starts. Work begins on an offline student-management application for government schools in West Bengal, and the first customer signs in August.
2013 – 2014
The application grows from student records into full school management, and then moves online. The customer base reaches 22 government schools.
2015
A version for private schools launches, and the government-school product splits into Basic and Advanced. 55 schools on board.
2016
Registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs under RoC, Kolkata as an LLP (LLPIN AAE-7408). A free tier for small government schools opens, and more than 200 register — taking the total past 275.
2017
421 institutions on board. Online Admission Management launches, then the College Management Application. Our first Android app ships — letting government-school teachers enter marks from a handset instead of a lab computer.
2018
591 institutions, and 6 colleges on the college product. Automatic attendance arrives — biometric and RFID devices reporting straight into the ERP.
2019
The School eDiary app launches for private schools, putting notices, homework, attendance and fees in parents’ hands. 650+ institutions on board — 10 colleges, 250 paid schools and 405 on the free tier.
Today
Incorporated as Lamda Infotech Private Limited and running from Saltee Plaza, Nagerbazar, Kolkata. School On Web, College On Web and School eDiary share one platform, hosted on AWS, updated for every institution at once.
We are a small team. What keeps delivery predictable is not a methodology poster — it is these four things, done every time.
The stack behind our own products, and what we take on for client work.

Master of Computer Applications. Owns development and deployment across the platform and client projects — and has written or reviewed most of what runs today.
Director · Operations Head
B.Tech, Chemical Engineering. Runs customer acquisition and retention, sales and marketing — and is usually the person an institution speaks to first.
Most of our support staff have been with us for years — which is why the person answering usually already knows how your institution is set up.
