Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 5: In a landmark year, LEAD Group has achieved an Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) of Rs. 415 crore for AY '25 - '26, representing 30% growth over the previous academic year (July 2024 - June 2025). This growth was driven by rising demand for LEAD's category-defining, proprietary Learning System - a research-backed platform that integrates curriculum, pedagogy, and AI-enabled resources and technology, to deliver measurable learning outcome improvement for nearly 4 million students across 8,500+ schools.
LEAD Group closed FY' 25 with revenue of Rs. 367 Cr. and achieved operating EBITDA breakeven. LEAD Group is the only Learning System company in India with 100% net revenue retention among its partner schools, underscoring its enduring impact and strong relationships. LEAD's strong AY '25 - '26 performance is a result of deepening partnerships with its existing network of schools and rising adoption of its Learning System by new schools. The company was able to derive significant benefits from scale efficiencies and AI-driven productivity enhancements this year.
Sumeet Mehta, CEO and Co-founder, LEAD Group, said, "This has been a defining year in our growth journey. Our results reflect both the measurable learning impact we are delivering for students, and the growth we have already achieved for the academic year '25 - '26. We remain committed to building India's most trusted Learning System and making excellent education accessible to every child, in every school."
This was also a year of deep innovation for LEAD. The company launched TECHBOOK -- India's first AI-powered, AR-integrated textbook -- ushering in a new era of personalised and experiential learning in Indian schools. As NEP 2020-aligned reforms take centre stage in Indian education, LEAD Group's Learning System--built to ensure conceptual understanding and the development of 21st century skills for every child--is today the preferred choice for schools across the country. From Coding and AI, to IIT-JEE/NEET foundation programs, LEAD Group is enabling India's schools to deliver future-ready education at scale.
