Recently, Duff & Phelps insights on the comparable valuations of global continued education startups were featured in an ET Prime article, “Ed-tech Startup Eruditus’ Valuation Soars as Investors Bet Big on Executive Education in India.”
The article stated that continued education also called executive education is emerging as a focus for investors after COVID-19 for two major reasons. First, to beat the crisis after COVID-19, businesses need to upskill, and educational technology or ed-tech startups will be the conduit to deliver customized learning solutions. Second, the new education policy (NEP), which is coming into effect over the next two years, could open up the higher education segment and the continued learning space collaboratively.
