1. The Problem They’re Solving
Teachers — one of society’s most vital workforces — are often left behind when it comes to employment benefits. Most schools lack formal HR systems, structured benefits administration, or access to retirement investment tools for their educators. Teachers either get no coverage or are expected to manage insurance, savings, and compliance on their own — without guidance or support.
EZKey solves this by offering a school-integrated HR and benefits platform that gives teachers access to health insurance, retirement investments, perks, and financial tools — all in one easy-to-use app.
2. How Big Is the Market?
There are over 10 million teachers in India and tens of millions more globally in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Most work for institutions that are under-digitized and underfunded, yet highly organized in their employment structure.
Globally, the education workforce represents a multi-billion dollar HR and benefits market. With rising private school expansion, regulatory pressure on teacher welfare, and the need for long-term financial planning in this segment, EZKey is unlocking an untapped vertical in the insurtech and embedded finance space.
3. The Technology We’re Building
EZKey is a verticalized HR, insurance, and investing platform designed specifically for schools and their teaching staff. Core modules include:
Teacher Onboarding Engine – Invite teachers via school HR or self-onboarding via unique school codes
Benefits Marketplace – Teachers can select from curated health, term life, critical illness, and disability plans
Investments Module – Access to NPS, SIPs, ELSS, and 403(b)-style retirement products with in-app guidance

School Admin Dashboard – HR can view benefit enrollment, contribution history, and staff wellness analytics
All workflows are designed to be mobile-first, bilingual, and compliant with government/education board mandates.
