Sthiti runs the admin behind an online wellness practice. Attendance that records itself from your Zoom. Fee reminders and payments over WhatsApp. Every class recording kept safe. You teach; it handles the rest.
Built with practising teachers in India Fees settle straight to your bank Free during the pilot
The problem
Your schedule, your attendance register and your fees are the same set of facts, kept in three different places — a spreadsheet, a WhatsApp thread, and your own memory. Joining them up is what Sunday evenings are for.
It is also where students quietly slip away before anyone notices. Priya has attended 9 of her 12 paid classes is an attendance fact, a billing fact, and a reason to check in on her — all at once. Today it lives in three disconnected places, so nobody sees it.
How it works
Sthiti starts by reading the practice you already run. There is no migration week, no re-typing your student list, and nothing for your students to install.
Sthiti reads the classes already in your Zoom account and builds your schedule and your student list for you — who attends, when, how often. You confirm; you don't type.
Same Zoom links, same WhatsApp group, same routine. Your students carry on without noticing anything changed. Attendance records itself in the background.
Reminders go out before class. Fees are tracked and chased. Recordings are filed by class and date. Anything sent in your name waits for your approval first.
What it does
Sthiti sees who joined your class and for how long, and drafts the register for you. Anyone it isn't sure about — "Priya's iPad" — comes up as a one-tap question. It remembers your answer, so the list gets shorter every week.
Dues are raised on time and a UPI link goes out on WhatsApp. When it's paid, the receipt sends itself and the reminders stop. Cash is two taps. Money paid settles directly into your account — never ours.
Class reminders with each student's link, gentle nudges for unpaid fees, an announcement when you cancel. Written in your voice and your language — and you approve before anything goes out in your name.
Every class is pulled off your cramped Zoom cloud and kept, organised by batch and date, for as long as you want it. Students stream what they missed. Nothing quietly disappears.
"Who hasn't paid for August?" — you get the list. "Remind them gently" — you get the drafts. Type it or say it, in Hindi, English or both. Nothing touching money or people happens without you confirming.
Mark a student present and their class pack decrements, their renewal date moves and their attendance updates at the same instant. One act, three consequences — never three systems that disagree.
Why it's different
Your students pay you directly over UPI. Sthiti takes no commission and holds no funds — you pay a flat monthly fee, less than one student's fees, and every rupee from your students is yours.
Most tools bolt a payments tab onto a scheduling tool. Sthiti keeps schedule, attendance and money as a single record, so the numbers can't drift apart.
Recording is off by default for counselling and physiotherapy. Consent is asked for, recorded and withdrawable. Clinical notes are encrypted. These aren't settings — they're built into how it works.
Zoom, WhatsApp and UPI are what you and your students already use. Sthiti works with them rather than asking anyone to move somewhere new.
For your students
Your students stay where they already are. The class reminder arrives on WhatsApp with their link. "How many classes do I have left?" gets answered straight away, from the real record. The recording of the class they missed is one tap away.
For the ones who want more, there's a simple page showing their attendance, their progress and their whole recording library — but nobody is ever made to sign up for anything.
Trust
Health-adjacent work deserves more care than a booking tool gives it. Consent is recorded per person and per purpose, and can be withdrawn. Recording defaults to off for clinical categories. Every action that moves money, messages a person or changes what someone is owed is logged — including anything the assistant does on your behalf. Built to India's DPDP requirements from the first line of code.
Questions
No. You keep your Zoom account, your existing meeting links and your WhatsApp group. Sthiti connects to your Zoom and reads what's already there. If you'd rather it created your classes for you later, it can — but nothing forces that.
No. Everything reaches them on WhatsApp, where they already are. There's an optional web page for students who want to see their history and recordings, but it's never required.
Never. Payments go straight from your student to your own UPI or bank account. Sthiti never holds your money. We charge a flat monthly subscription and nothing else — no transaction fee, no percentage.
They come across with you. Sthiti builds your roster from who has actually been attending your classes, so your regulars are already there on day one. You confirm the list rather than typing it.
Recording is off by default for counselling and physiotherapy, and cannot be turned on without your client's recorded consent. Session notes are encrypted. Access is scoped to you, and every access is logged.
It's free for the practitioners in the pilot. After that it will be a flat monthly subscription — deliberately less than what one student pays you in a month — with a free tier for a single batch.
Sthiti is in development with practising teachers in India, and we're taking on a small number more. If you run classes online and want to stop keeping the register in your head, we'd like to hear from you.
