Why We Built Apna PC?
Rajesh Kumar sat in his small grocery shop in Indore, scrolling through his phone. His daughter Priya had just finished class 8, and her school was moving to online learning. The laptop he’d seen at the electronics store cost Rs.80,000. His monthly profit was Rs.15,000. He closed his eyes and thought: “How will she study?” This is the story of millions of Indian families. This is why we built Apna PC, an Education PC designed for students like Priya.

The Problem We Saw in Tier 2 and Tier 3 Cities

You live in Indore, Nagpur, Lucknow, or Vijayawada. Your child needs a computer for school projects, coding classes, and online exams. But laptops are expensive. Tablets are too small. And old, slow computers frustrate your child and waste their study time.

We talked to 500 parents across India. They told us the same thing: “We want to give our kids the best education, but quality computers cost too much.” Teachers told us students were submitting assignments late because their devices crashed. Parents told us they were choosing between a computer and their child’s tuition fees.

The Education PC market in India was broken. Either you bought an expensive laptop you couldn’t afford, or you bought cheap junk that didn’t work. There was nothing in between. Nothing built for Indian students. Nothing built for your budget.

Why an Education PC and Not Just Any Computer?pod student with APNA PC

A regular computer isn’t built for learning. It comes with games, ads, and distractions. Your child opens YouTube instead of doing homework. You can’t track what they’re doing. The software slows down after three months.

An Education PC is different. We started with Zorin OS, a clean operating system that’s fast and secure. We added Apni Prerna, our own monitoring tool that lets you see your child’s study time without spying on them. We included LibreOffice for documents and spreadsheets, and Scratch for learning coding. Everything your child needs for school. Nothing they don’t.
 
The specs matter too. 8GB RAM means your child can run 10 browser tabs, a video call, and LibreOffice at the same time without lag. A 128GB SSD means files load in seconds, not minutes. This isn’t overkill. This is what your child actually needs to focus on studying, not waiting.

Built for Your Budget, Not Someone Else’s

Apna PC costs Rs.30,000 (before shipping and GST). That’s one-third the price of a basic laptop. That’s one week of your child’s tuition fees, not three months of them.

We didn’t cut corners to hit this price. We worked with manufacturers who understand Indian schools. We removed features nobody uses. We chose parts that last, not parts that impress. We’re Apni Pathshala, an education company. We’re not trying to make the fanciest computer. We’re trying to give your child a fair chance.

What Your Child Gets on Day Onestudents

You open the box. Inside is a computer that’s ready to use. No setup. No confusion. No wasted weekend trying to install software.

  • Zorin OS: Fast, secure, and built for learning. No viruses. No bloatware.
  • Apni Prerna: You can see study hours and app usage. Your child isn’t watched constantly, but you’re not blind either.
  • LibreOffice: Write documents, make spreadsheets, create presentations. Compatible with Microsoft Office files.
  • Scratch: Learn coding by making games and animations. No coding experience needed.
Your child sits down and starts learning. Not installing. Not troubleshooting. Learning.

Why This Matters for Your Child’s Future?

According to the Education in India Wikipedia page, digital literacy is now a core skill. The Ministry of Education has made computers part of the school curriculum in most states.

Your child doesn’t just need a computer to finish homework. They need it to learn how computers work. To code. To create. To compete with kids in Delhi and Mumbai who’ve had computers since age 5.

An Education PC gives your child that chance. Not because it’s fancy. Because it’s reliable. Because it’s affordable. Because it’s built for Indian classrooms, Indian internet speeds, and Indian budgets.

This Isn’t Just About Technology

When Rajesh bought an Apna PC for Priya, something changed. She stopped asking “Can I have a computer?” She started asking, “Can I learn coding?” She submitted assignments on time. She scored better in computer class. Her confidence grew.
 
That’s what an Education PC does. It’s not a luxury. It’s a tool that says: “Your education matters. Your future matters. We built this for you.”
