It is no surprise then that the online education segment has grown so rapidly in the country and was the third-highest funded sector in India in 2021. The pandemic may have accelerated the use and familiarity of EdTech platforms, but this will continue, albeit in a hybrid mode with equal emphasis on physical learning spaces and online supplementary education, post pandemic. Moreover, the early school adoption of online education tools will spillover into continued education, and sub-segments like online higher education and after school learning will appeal to broader sections of the population. In this issue of India Briefing Magazine, we profile the Indian education market and its growth drivers. We briefly examine the respective segments that make up the education industry and their market outlook for foreign stakeholders. Next, we breakdown the opportunities emerging out of the sudden expansion of online education. Finally, we discuss the FDI, tax, and regulation policies affecting the sector. |
