From $17,500 to about $7,000 a month, while running 30 hours of live classes every day for students paying ₹300 a month.
About Arivihan
An Indore-based edtech company building affordable, AI-driven learning for school students in Tier 2, Tier 3 and rural India. Students prepare for State Board exams, CBSE and NEET for about ₹300 a month, and most learn in Hindi.
It is the leading education app for high school students in Madhya Pradesh. In 2025 it raised $4.17 million in a round led by Prosus, with Accel and GSF Investors participating.
Video is central to the product, and every rupee spent on infrastructure matters at a ₹300 price point.
Reliable and affordable live video took a few tries
Listed on AWS Marketplace, easy to integrate and easy to trust. In practice, not the right fit for the reliability daily classes need.
IVS worked well. But at Arivihan’s scale, the costs added up across five services.
Live after a proof of concept tested at all hours, including 2am.
We wanted a setup we could rely on for every class, at a cost that works for our students and their families.
Tested at 2am before committing
A product manager at Utkarsh, another edtech running live classes at scale, recommended TPStreams to the Arivihan team.
Sonu ran a proof of concept first. He tested streams late at night, sometimes at 2am, to see how the platform behaved outside business hours. It held up every time.
We tested at all hours, including 2am, and the streams stayed steady every time. That gave us the confidence to move our live classes over.

“TPStreams has helped us bring our video costs down significantly while keeping classes smooth for our students. Our team can now spend its time building for students, not managing infrastructure.”
