The app, according to Piyush Agarwal, Chief Executive and Founder of SuperProfs, would aid over 5 crore students who prepare for competitive exams every year.

“The concept of mobile apps in exam preparation is still nascent in India. But the opportunity is huge as smart phone penetration is on the increase. The prospect to innovate in the $8-billion exam coaching market space is extensive,” Agarwal said.

In less than four weeks of its launch on the Google Play Store, the company has registered more than 5,000 downloads of the mobile app. Agarwal is expecting to cross the 10,000 downloads milestone in the next couple of weeks.

According to global forecast agency - marketsandmarkets, the mobile learning apps market would reach $37.60 billion by 2020.
