Why EdTech isdoing so well?
Growing demand for online classes-
whether it is for school or colleges,
with social distancing becoming the
norm coupled by a growing demand
for coaching classes for entrance
exams makes for a perfect reason
for EdTech companies to expand at
the rate they are currently.
Penetration of internet services in
India:
India is the second largest market in
terms of the number of internet
users The number of internet
subscribers in the country
increased at a CAGR of 45.74 per
cent during FY06-FY19 to reach
636.73 million in FY19. This number
is expected to double to 829 M by
2021.
Growing demand for skills
development-
There is always a demand for skill
development whether it’s with the
slow rise of data analytics or ever
persistent need for MS excel, but
the recent lockdown has also
caused a surge in the number of
unemployment cases which has
seen many people turn to learn
new skills to set them apart
Growing interest of foreign
investors:
The immense potential of India
with its untapped digital services
market along with the growing anti-
China sentiment worldwide has
caused foreign investors to look
towards India whether it through
investments in Jio Platforms or
Byju's, everyone wants a slice of
the cake.
