Education
We have advised various stakeholders in the education industry on structuring their investment, regulatory and compliance matters, operations and management strategies, litigation management, dispute resolution, due diligence, financial and taxation requirements, M&A, joint ventures and legal audits.
The education system in India is rapidly evolving across all levels of learning, from primary to university-level education. With over 250 million school-going population, India is home to the world’s largest population of young people in the age bracket of 5-24 years old, according to a report by India Brand Equity Foundation. Currently, the sector is brimming with opportunities for edtech start-ups, universities and educational institutes, including instituting vocational training. The technology-led and online education market in India is expected to be valued at USD 313 billion by 2030, according to a report released by AspireCircle.
To stay ahead of the curve, entities operating in the sector must effectively interpret the changing policies and regulations that can directly impact the business.
