Leverage Edu, the edtech platform, is reportedly planning a potential IPO in the next 12–18 months, aiming to raise between ₹2,000 Cr and ₹3,000 Cr. The company is targeting a valuation of $900 Mn (₹8,362 Cr), leveraging its diversified offerings in the study abroad space.
Analysts compare Leverage Edu to high-growth platforms like Zomato and ixigo, highlighting its unique approach. By integrating fintech services, accommodation, and travel insurance into its platform, Leverage Edu aims to ensure a steady revenue stream throughout the year, unlike the cyclical nature of university intakes.
In the fiscal year 2026, Leverage Edu reported impressive financials with a 112% year-over-year revenue growth reaching ₹375 Cr, achieving EBITDA profitability, and expanding its user base to over 1.75 Lakh. However, the company may face challenges, particularly concerning visa regulations in key markets and investor skepticism towards its valuation.
As Leverage Edu prepares for its IPO journey, convincing investors about its sustainable growth model amidst market uncertainties and geopolitical tensions remains a critical task.
