Not as per commitments and severe level of SignUp talks during classes
My initial interest in signed up for OdA was the promise of Vedic Math and kids ability to pick up and excel in math very easily.
Reality is far from it. Over the 18 months of my feedback’s and interactions with ODA attendance and mentor teachers, there has been no change in the way the kids intent is handled. They take too long saying the same things and finally what comes in exams are a different story. Apart from English Science and Maths, there is no focus or involvement of mentor teachers to help on other subjects, kids do not focus in the class and the motivation coins are pretty useless value for money.
Because of the continuous talk and motivating words that my kid is doing so well so he is getting admitted to an elite batch of only 30 kids, I signed up for the following year! What a big mistake. My kids studies and motivation to study went down, he would play online games if no one was watching, he would do HW and collect coins which he could never use, and as I was promised that I can cancel once next grade starts, I waited for the year to end.
Again an endless disappointment as since the start of classes I have been following up on my cancellation request, had 2 lengthy calls giving the same feedback to the teachers who called, and after multiple assurances of refund soon, they have stopped responding for the past 3 weeks. Now the teachers do not respond to the messages, the support@pigeonedu does not reply and no one answers at the customer care call support.
My “scholarship” eligible fee was available for other kids as well for 9 months after I signed up. I simply hurried bcoz of their marketing strategies and my kid’s performance also fell to a 70%.
Hope my review helps others looking for support because you are a working parent.

Review on Class Structure and Approach
We enrolled our son in Oda Class after being influenced by aggressive marketing promises and demonstrations that made the program appear highly structured and professional. Unfortunately, our actual experience was very disappointing.
The quality of classes did not match the expectations that were created during the enrollment process. The teaching approach lacked consistency and professionalism, and over time our son gradually lost interest in attending the sessions. As parents, we expected a much more engaging and student-focused learning environment, especially considering the commitments made during the sales process.
What disturbed us even more was the behavior after our son stopped attending the classes. Instead of respectfully understanding the concern of a parent, we started receiving repeated calls continuously, which became extremely disturbing and intrusive.
The situation became completely unacceptable when, during one conversation where I firmly expressed my dissatisfaction, one of the representatives allegedly used abusive language and even made threatening remarks saying they would come to my city and beat me. Such behavior from an education-related organization is shocking, unprofessional, and deeply disappointing.
An educational platform should focus on supporting students and maintaining respectful communication with parents, not pressurizing or intimidating them.
Based on our personal experience, I would strongly advise parents to carefully evaluate everything before committing to long-term enrollment plans.

Honest & Concerned Parent Perspective
Till the time you haven’t purchased the course, they treat you very well. Once the payment is done, the attitude completely changes.
At the time of enrollment, we were clearly informed that there would be only 30 students per class. However, after my child started attending online classes for Class 1, it feels like there are far more students—possibly 100 or even more—in a single class. This is extremely concerning.
The classes are not interactive at all. Children are rarely, if ever, asked to speak, respond, or participate. For a Class 1 child, online learning already requires extra engagement, patience, and interaction, which is completely missing here.
Because of the large number of students, individual attention is impossible, and my child struggles to stay focused and involved. This defeats the very purpose of online education for young children.
What worries me most is the mismatch between what was promised during enrollment and the reality. Transparency is very important when it comes to a child’s education, and parents deserve honest communication.
