We build fee, enquiry and practice software for the colleges, classes and firms around Deccan Gymkhana.
Deccan Gymkhana is Pune’s student and professional quarter, with colleges on Fergusson College Road, shops on Jangali Maharaj Road, and CA and law practices keeping their files in cupboards. GullySystem builds the fee, enquiry and practice software they need, from its Bengaluru office, after a free technology audit.
Deccan Gymkhana is the old heart of educated Pune. Colleges, coaching classes, bookshops and long-running restaurants sit within walking distance of each other, and much of the city’s professional practice grew up around them.
The businesses here are established rather than new. A CA firm, a sari shop or a class that has run for thirty years has loyal customers, thin records and a founder who still signs everything himself.
Where the businesses are in Deccan Gymkhana, and what they run on.
Fergusson College Road
Colleges, classes, bookshops and student-facing retail, with the PGs and mess kitchens that live off the same crowd. Admission forms, batch lists and fee receipts pile up in a few weeks each year.
Jangali Maharaj Road
Showrooms, clothing and jewellery shops, and restaurants drawing families from across the city.
Law College Road and Bhandarkar Road
Law and CA practices, clinics and consulting rooms in converted bungalows. Case files, due dates and client documents live in cupboards and on personal laptops.
Deccan Corner and the start of Karve Road
Bus stands, banks, coaching classes and small offices, with heavy footfall from morning to night.
Prabhat Road and the lanes behind
Doctors, architects and consultants working from ground-floor offices, with appointments taken by a single assistant.
How Deccan Gymkhana businesses pick and use software.
The decision rests with an owner who has seen plenty of vendors. He listens politely, asks what happens to the data if he stops paying, then checks with his CA or a colleague before calling back.
Staff are long-serving and Marathi is the working language at the counter. Screens in Marathi for them, with English on the receipts and the accounts, is usually the arrangement that sticks.
Anything that risks the admission season is refused. So we go live between batches, keep the old register running for a few weeks, and change over once the office is comfortable.
Where Deccan Gymkhana businesses lose time and money.
Fee instalments and concessions are settled at the counter
Discounts are agreed verbally by the owner and written on the receipt. Recording the agreed instalment plan per student shows the real pending fee instead of a printed guess.
Admission enquiries are lost within a day
Parents and students walk in, take a form and are never called again. One enquiry list with the batch, the follow-up date and the name of who spoke to them fills seats that otherwise stay empty.
The practice runs on one partner’s diary of due dates
Filings, hearings and renewals are tracked by the senior partner alone. A client calendar the whole office can see means a missed date is not one illness away.
Nobody knows which batch makes money
Teacher payouts, room rent and material costs sit outside the fee register. Putting costs against each batch shows which ones to keep and which to merge.

Read the case studyQuestions Deccan Gymkhana owners ask before they call.
Can parents pay fees online while the office still issues a receipt?
Yes. A payment link goes out by WhatsApp or SMS, and the receipt is raised the moment the money is confirmed. The office sees the same receipt number it would have written by hand.
We run classes at two places with shared teachers. Can one system handle that?
Yes. Batches, rooms and teachers belong to a location, and a teacher can be given batches at both without a clash. Fees, attendance and payouts stay separate per location while you see the combined position.
What happens in the free technology audit?
We look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough to start. You get a report ordered by priority, and there is no obligation to hire us afterwards.
How much will the software cost?
We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. The audit settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
