| | DECEMBER 20254In India, education is serious business. The education sector across India is expected to reach $313 billion by 2030. This sharp rise comes as no surprise, since India is home to the world's largest young population between the ages of 5-24. With early 580 million Indians being in the studying age bracket, India's education landscape is naturally poised for growth.Alongside the large young population, India also has a widespread network of educational institutions, both in higher education and K-12 segment. India has over 52000 colleges and 1300 registered universities as of FY26. This number is only slated to increase as the years go by. The K-12 segment is exploding as well. From being worth $48.9 billion in 2023, the sector is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.7 percent and reach a valuation of $ 125.8 billion by 2032. Poised for massive growth in the years to come, India's education sector is a growing industry. The architects of this growth are visionary education leaders who are at the helm of important educational institutions.
