The Challenge
During peak admission seasons, EdTech counsellors spend most of their time answering the same questions — courses, fees, demo schedules, eligibility — leaving little room for conversations that actually drive enrollment. This fast-growing EdTech startup faced exactly that problem. Missed follow-ups were stacking up, leads were going cold, and hiring more counsellors was not a sustainable fix. SparkTG's AI Chatbot and Calling Automation resolved it by handling 70% of routine student enquiries automatically across WhatsApp and voice, around the clock. Only qualified, high-intent students reached counsellors — with full conversation context already loaded. The startup handled 3x more enquiries, cut counsellor costs by 62%, and maintained a consistent student experience through the entire admission season without adding headcount.

The Solution
After deploying SparkTG's AI Chatbot and Calling Automation, the startup's admission process shifted from reactive and counsellor-dependent to automated and scalable. The chatbot handled course queries, fee questions, demo bookings, and eligibility checks on WhatsApp instantly. Automated calling picked up students who didn't respond on chat, ensuring no lead went cold. Only high-intent students were routed to counsellors — with full chat history attached — so every live conversation started from context, not cold. Counsellors focused entirely on closing. The startup scaled through peak season at 3x volume with no additional hiring and a 62% drop in counsellor costs.
