These Top 5 Edtech Startups Placed in Top 100 HolonIQ List for Indian and South Asia 

HolonIQ’s annual India & South Asia EdTech 100 includes EdTech startups based in the South Asian countries of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. This region is one of the most populated in the world with the largest youth group globally.  Education is a critical focus for countries in the region and EdTech has the potential to provide greater access to education and support improved learning outcomes for millions of learners.

EdTech in the South Asia region has seen significant growth over the past two years, particularly India, which is one of the fastest growing EdTech markets globally. The combination of India’s New Education Policy, which launched mid-2020 and represented a step-change in approaches to technology enabled learning, along with the impact of the pandemic, have catalysed India’s EdTech sector to new levels of market acceptance, usage and private capital investment. In 2020 alone there was $2.3B of EdTech venture capital investment in India, eclipsing Europe’s VC investment for the same period and just shy of the US figure. 2021 has seen an explosion of growth with $1.4B invested in the first half, again setting the benchmark for the biggest year yet in EdTech.

Using the HolonIQ platform, its intelligence unit team and market experts selected the top 100 digital education companies, based on HolonIQ’s scoring fingerprint that includes capital, team, market, product and momentum.
