Turn your YouTube and Instagram audience into your own online academy

Course creators and educators with an audience: give followers a home of your own for structured courses, with free lessons to start and no monthly fee.

Last updated 16 October 2026

If you teach on YouTube, Instagram or a newsletter, Paatya gives your audience a place of your own to learn in a structured way: an academy at your own web address, with your name and colours, where followers become students you can see and reach. There is no subscription to pay while you build it.

From followers to students

  • Free lessons and free courses: let anyone who signs up start straight away, then enrol the ones who want the full course.
  • Student sign-up: switch it on and followers create their own account from your academy's page, with an email code to confirm it.
  • A public page for your academy, with your courses, your story, reviews from students and an enquiry form.
  • Your own domain, such as learn.yourchannel.com, with HTTPS set up for you.

Courses, not just videos

Group your lessons into sections, add notes and worksheets, end each section with a quiz, and give a certificate at the end. Students pick up exactly where they stopped, and you see which lessons they finish and where they drop off.

You keep the relationship

The students are yours, not a marketplace's: you see who they are, how far they got, and you can export their progress. Collect payment the way you already do, by UPI or otherwise, and enrol the people who have paid.

What it costs

There is no monthly subscription and no setup fee. You add credit in advance, from ₹1,000, and pay only for three things: each student who signs in or studies in a month, the video you keep stored, and the video your students stream. Students who don't study that month cost nothing, and adding courses, students and admins is free. See the live rates and a cost calculator.

Your first recharge earns 20% extra credit.

Get started

  1. Create your academy at yourname.paatya.net. It takes a couple of minutes.
  2. Add your logo and colours, then your first course. The quick start guide walks through it.
  3. Add students yourself, or let them sign themselves up.
