EquiFlow
A shared network for NGOs helping students afford admission fees, so the same student isn't funded five times over while others get nothing.
The challenge
EquiFlow is Pyzon's own product, built after we noticed a real, recurring problem across the NGOs we work with. These NGOs step in to help cover admission fees for students who've qualified for medical or engineering seats — for example, by clearing NEET or JEE — but whose families can't afford the fees on their own. The problem is that a student in this position doesn't apply to just one NGO for help; they apply to several, hoping at least one will cover their fees. Because none of these NGOs could see what the others were doing, the same student could end up receiving fee assistance from four or five different NGOs for the very same admission — even though they only needed one amount to cover it. Meanwhile, another student who was just as unable to afford their fees, but who only knew to apply to one or two organizations, could receive no help at all. The support wasn't going to whoever needed it most; it was going to whoever happened to apply everywhere. With no shared way to check whether a student had already received help elsewhere, this kind of duplication was invisible to every NGO involved, and money that could have helped more students afford their education was instead being spent multiple times on the same ones.
The result
- NGOs stop wasting money on repeat fee assistance for the same student, since every organization can now see whether a student has already been helped before approving anything new
- That saved amount doesn't sit unused — it goes toward helping more students, instead of being spent multiple times on whoever happened to apply to the most NGOs
