We came up with the idea of Outcoach after experiencing firsthand some of the challenges faced by clubs and schools running classes. Karthik ran from pillar to post taking his 2 boys to various classes, sometimes being a cricket umpire and sometimes a soccer match referee. As a part-time Uber driver transporting his kids to different classes, he often missed the notifications about match cancellations or payment reminders. When Arjun started coaching, he quickly realised that paperwork was key to getting paid on time. Not his time on the field! As with all start-up ideas, we thought there must be a better way!

We validated this by talking to over 50 other coaches and teachers and found that staying on top of classes and scheduling, payments and student progress was a pain shared by many. We think we can use technology, especially the mobile phones in our pockets to simplify life for everyone – the schools, teachers, students and parents!
