A voice tutor for children. Your child taps once and talks, and Caldra talks back: asks, listens, and teaches from where your child actually is rather than from a year-group average. Today she teaches ICSE Class 2 mathematics and Class 2 reading; the rest of Class 2, and the classes around it, are being written and the ICSE Class 2 page shows exactly what is live. You can read every conversation, and the full transcript of each one stays for fourteen days.
Today: a child in ICSE Class 2, or a Class 1 or 3 child working at that level, roughly six to eight. The method does not change with age (the why before the what; the child does the thinking), and the goal is LKG to Grade 12, but we only say a class is ready when its lessons are signed, and the class page is where that is written down. If your child is in another class, tell us which. It decides what gets written next.
No. That's the whole promise: if you ever have to choose a curriculum or chase your child, we've failed. You set the intention once; Caldra carries the daily plan, the pacing, and the catch-up.
Caldra notices the gap and gently re-paces. It picks up where they left off and rebalances the rest of the year, rather than letting them silently fall behind. You'll see it in your weekly note.
Every exchange runs through child-safety checks before your child hears it, sensitive moments are logged for you, and anything serious raises a parent alert. Caldra never cold-refuses a curious question. It steers warmly and keeps you informed. More in Trust & Privacy.
Raw audio is discarded after it's understood; we don't sell data; there are no ad trackers. You can see everything your child explored and export or erase it. We're building DPDP-aligned. The full detail is on Trust & Privacy and in our Privacy Policy.
A phone, tablet, or laptop with a microphone and a browser. No special hardware. A quiet-ish spot and a charged device is all your child needs.
It's the opposite of what you're worried about. Caldra is a conversation. Your child talks and listens, like they would with a tutor sitting beside them. There's no feed to scroll, no video to stare at, no streaks engineered to pull them back. Many sessions happen with the device face-down on the table.
No, and it doesn't try to. School gives your child classmates, teachers, and a place to belong. Caldra is the tutor beside all of that: the one who has time for every question, notices what school missed, and makes sure the actual learning happens. Your child's curiosity shouldn't depend on whether the syllabus has room for it.
Yes, for the part that is live. And honestly, no further. With no school carrying the teaching, Caldra carries it: one tutor with one memory of your child, a plan paced to them, and a weekly note so you can see what actually happened. Today that means ICSE Class 2 mathematics and reading, so Caldra can carry a Class 2 maths morning and cannot yet carry a whole year. Two more limits so you can decide properly. First, Caldra is not affiliated with NIOS or any board. Enrolment, registration and certificates come from the board itself, not from us. Second, Caldra speaks and listens in English only.

Yes. That's the point. It only counts something as mastered after your child recalls it on a later day, keeps a book of things they figured out, and builds a portfolio of what they've made. You see real evidence, not vanity numbers.
Two simple plans: Caldra Pick from ₹1,999/mo (choose your subjects) and Caldra Year from ₹4,999/mo (every subject that is live, the whole owned year), priced by your child's grade band. See Pricing. Our first fifty, the Caldra Circle, pay a fifth less, always.
Then you leave. Cancel anytime, and you take everything with you: your child's portfolio, their "things I figured out" book, the full record. Nothing is held hostage. The only way to know if Caldra fits your child is one honest month of it.
Caldra opens with fifty, ten in each age band from 4 to 18, chosen by request, not by queue. The circle pays a fifth less, always: whatever Caldra's plans and prices are, now or years from now, you pay 20% less for as long as you stay. You get everything new first and a straight line to the people building Caldra. In return you use it honestly, tell us what breaks, and give us one short check-in a month. The sharpest catch each month earns that month free. Your discount is for participation, never for your child's data. Ask for your place.
Just sign up and start the 7-day free trial. No card, no invite, nothing to cancel; your child can be talking to Caldra in two minutes. The Caldra Circle is a separate, optional program for the fifty who want to help build Caldra. Ask for a place any time, before or after you start.
