Indian EdTech market size 2025-2030
India's educational technology sector is poised for remarkable growth, with projections indicating a market value of 30 billion U.S. dollars by 2030. This surge represents a significant increase from the estimated 10.4 billion dollars valuation in 2025, highlighting the rapid expansion of the Edtech industry in the country. The sector gained considerable momentum during the coronavirus pandemic, accelerating the adoption of digital learning solutions across various educational levels.
Rise and fall of Edtech
With a promise of revolutionizing the education system in the country, edtech had a glorious rise during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was seen in the success of companies like Byju’s which progressed from a tutorial center to a global brand. However, the company could not sustain its growth post-pandemic owing to unsustainable financial practices. Many other established edtech players also shut shop. Others such as Unacademy, shifted towards a hybrid model by tying up with the Akash Institute, combining traditional and new online teaching methods.
Funding winter
Despite setbacks, the sector is back on an upward trajectory. While 2021 was the highest-funded year in the sector, funding has consistently declined since then. As of August 2024, the sector received over 200 million U.S. dollars in funding. Skill development, K12, test preparation, and online certification are fast-moving sectors within the industry. As the National Education Policy (NEP) aims to transform offline and online modes of education in the future, there might still be hope for the resurgence of the edtech sector.
