How we launched Unstop Bridge in just 3 months

Driving adoption and revenue for Unstop's T&P Automation Software by rapidly building a B2B2C platform that solved college pain points and enabled college-paid student subscriptions

  • Case Study
  • B2B2C
  • Unstop

Problem

Tier 2 and 3 college T&P offices ran placements on email, WhatsApp, and vendor spreadsheets. Unstop needed a B2B2C campus product: colleges would not buy chaos, and selling PRO to students one by one did not scale.

Metrics

  • V1 platform designed and built in 3 months via reuse of existing Unstop components
  • 5 colleges and 8,000+ students onboarded in the initial phase; 15% lift in registrations
  • ₹90 lakhs additional revenue through college-paid Unstop PRO subscriptions

Decisions

  1. Reuse existing Unstop UI and backends instead of a greenfield campus OS.
  2. Give TPOs a free portal, then monetize through college-paid student PRO licenses.
  3. Scope V1 around bulk upload, verification, and eligibility so colleges could run a real cycle in month one.

Outcomes

  • Shipped a free TPO portal with bulk upload, eligibility rules, and opportunity routing, with PRO as the paid unlock.
  • Reused job, competition, and profile guts to hit a 3-month deadline instead of a greenfield build.
  • Validated ~₹2,000/student/year economics through college-paid bulk licenses.
