EuroKids enjoys an early mover advantage in India’s branded Pre-K space, having commenced Pre-K operations in the country in 2001 when branded early-age education was a sunrise sector. Driven by its reputable brand, differentiated pedagogical offering, superior in-house curriculum, content development capabilities and strong management team, EuroKids is well-positioned for strong and sustainable future growth.
Since our first investment in 2013, Eurokids has achieved significant growth with revenues growing 2x. K-12 enrolments have grown 3x with increased focus on capacity utilization in existing schools while setting up new campuses to fuel growth for the future.
EuroKids has evolved from a publishing company to one of India’s largest early age education platforms.
