India’s creator and coaching economy is exploding. From marketing mentors to yoga trainers, from finance experts to coding coaches, millions are turning their expertise into income.
And it’s not just hype.
According to “From Content to Commerce: Mapping India’s Creator Economy” by BCG, over 2–2.5 million monetized content creators now influence $350–400 billion in consumer spending. By 2030, that number could cross $1 trillion in creator-driven commerce.
That’s massive.
But here’s the catch: while India has the talent, passion, and audience, most creators are building their businesses on foreign platforms like Teachable and Thinkific. These tools were designed for Western creators, and while they’re capable, they don’t always work for Indian realities.
The choice of a capable course creation platform is critical for success, yet many Indian creators feel underserved by the global options.
So, if you’re an Indian coach asking questions like:
How do I create an online course and sell it easily?
Which platform supports UPI or local payment gateways?
How can I build my own branded learning experience, not just host on someone else’s site?
It’s time to look closer to home.
It’s time for a dedicated course creation platform that understands the local market.
It’s time for Skolasti, a platform built by Indians, for Indian creators, but ready for the world.
The Global Giants’ Blind Spots
Let’s be clear, platforms like Teachable and Thinkific did an incredible job of democratizing online teaching. They made it easy for anyone to create & sell courses online. But as Indian creators discovered, “global” doesn’t always mean “universal.”
1. The Payment Problem
UPI is now the heartbeat of Indian online commerce. Yet, most global platforms don’t support it. Creators are forced to use expensive international gateways, paying heavy transaction fees and dealing with currency conversions.
Why should an Indian yoga coach teaching in rupees be charged in dollars?
Skolasti integrates UPI, wallets, cards, and local gateways, so you earn directly, without losing money to conversions or commissions.
2. The Branding Barrier
Most global platforms offer limited customization. Your course lives under their logo, on their domain.
Indian creators want to own their brand, from the landing page to the student certificate.
Skolasti gives you complete white-labelling, letting you build your own branded learning platform. Your domain, your identity, your audience.
3. The Data & Dependency Dilemma
Foreign platforms store your data overseas, leaving you dependent on their policies, uptime, and security.
Skolasti ensures data sovereignty; you can even host your online academy on Indian servers or your own infrastructure. You own your students, your data, and your future.
4. The Cultural & Feature Mismatch
Western platforms weren’t built with India’s multilingual, culturally diverse audience in mind.
Skolasti, on the other hand, supports 100+ AI languages so you can teach online, earn online, and reach learners in Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, or any regional language.
Because learning isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Why Skolasti Stands Out
Every product has pros and cons, and Skolasti is no exception. But its strengths clearly outshine its limitations.
The Positives:
AI Course Assistant that simplifies course creation.
Unlimited video uploads and unlimited users.
Localized, culturally aligned design, including RTL and regional access rules.
Secure, independent infrastructure with in-app live calls (no Zoom needed).
Comprehensive feature set, from wallets and scheduling to reminders and analytics.
The Limitations:
Mobile app in development.
Assessments currently limited to MCQs.
Newer brand recognition compared to global giants.
But here’s the truth: Every big name started small. What matters is alignment with your needs, and for Indian creators, Skolasti fits better than any imported alternative.
6. The Bigger Picture: From Dependence to Digital Independence
India doesn’t just need another platform. It needs a movement, a shift from dependency on global tech to self-reliant digital infrastructure.
Platforms like Teachable and Thinkific did their job for the world. But India is ready for its own story, one where creators, coaches, and educators earn globally while growing locally.
Skolasti embodies that vision. It’s not just software; it’s a statement of independence.
The Future Belongs to Indian Creators
If you’re ready to:
Launch your online course business
Teach online, earn online, and reach learners everywhere
Create & sell courses online under your own brand
Then it’s time to move to a platform that understands you.
It’s time for Skolasti, the best platform for online coaching, designed to make digital coaching simple, secure, and scalable for Indian creators.
