Education sector services

Our wide range of services provides an end-to-end solution to all your needs in the Education sector.

The Education sector in India is poised at a crucial stage in its growth. India’s demographic advantage of having a large population of youth, coupled with low gross enrolment ratios, presents a huge opportunity to education sector players.

At the same time, the growth of the Indian economy and upward movement of income levels is boosting spend on Education, which already accounts for the second-highest share of wallet for middle-class households.

Additionally, a tremendous interest from entrepreneurs and private equity players is generated due to:

  • Steady cash flows
  • Recession-proof nature of the sector
  • Negative working capital requirements

Government support for the sector has also seen a boost, with substantial reforms and increased financial outlays being announced and implemented. These reforms aim at not only strengthening the sector but facilitating planned expansion of the sector.

The interplay of all these factors has made Education an attractive sector with multiple opportunities, as can be seen by the high growth many players are witnessing and pursuing.

We have a dedicated education sector team serving all key segments of the Education sector.
