LMS & E-Learning Platform Development
A learning management system (LMS) delivers courses online: secure video lessons, live classes, assignments, tests, progress tracking and certificates, with payments, coupons and GST invoices for selling courses. Coaching institutes, trainers and companies use custom LMS platforms with their own branding and app. Kode Studio in Hyderabad builds LMS platforms, typically ₹2.5 lakh to ₹15 lakh+.

Course platforms vs custom LMS
Hosted course platforms
Quick to start with monthly fees or revenue share. Branding, features and data portability are limited, and fees grow as you grow.
Custom LMS
Your brand, your app, your rules — exam patterns, batch structures, pricing and integrations. One-time build plus hosting, and you own the student data.
Student features
- Course catalogue, previews and enrolment with payment.
- Video player with speed control, notes and resume.
- Downloadable materials and offline viewing in the app.
- Live classes with chat and recordings.
- Quizzes, mock tests with analytics, assignments.
- Doubt forum or chat with faculty.
- Progress dashboard and certificates.
Instructor and admin features
- Course builder with modules, lessons and drip schedules.
- Question banks and test creation with negative marking.
- Batches, enrolments, access periods and bulk uploads.
- Coupons, bundles, EMIs and affiliate tracking.
- Payments, refunds and GST invoices.
- Reports on revenue, completion, scores and engagement.
Protecting your video content
Course videos are your product. Use streaming with encryption, signed URLs, device limits per student, dynamic watermarks with the student’s name or phone, and blocked downloads outside the app. Nothing stops a determined person filming a screen, but these measures stop casual sharing and identify leakers.
Live classes
Schedule live classes for batches, start them from the platform, take attendance automatically, and publish recordings to the course afterwards. Integration with a video-conferencing provider or a built-in live streaming service depends on class size and budget.
Selling courses in India
UPI, cards and EMI through an Indian gateway, GST invoices, coupons and early-bird pricing, plus WhatsApp reminders for incomplete payments. App store rules may affect selling digital courses inside mobile apps; many platforms take payments on the website and give access in the app — plan this with us early.
Corporate training LMS
Companies need single sign-on, departments and roles, mandatory courses with deadlines, compliance reports, and integration with HR systems — see HRMS software. Dealer and partner training adds certification tracking across the distribution network.
Keeping students engaged
Completion rates on online courses are often low. Short lessons, regular quizzes, streaks, leaderboards for test series, reminders on WhatsApp, live doubt sessions and certificates all help. Track drop-off points in each course and improve those lessons first.
