In the ever-evolving landscape of education, the LEAD Group, a pioneering Indian Learning Systems company, continues to make strides in transforming school education at scale. Founded in 2012 by Sumeet Mehta and Smita Deorah, the LEAD Group has been committed to delivering an international standard of education and empowering teachers and students across the country.

The LEAD Group has recently announced its financial results for the FY' 25, closing with a revenue of Rs. 367 Cr. and achieving operating EBITDA breakeven. This significant milestone underscores the company's strong financial and operational performance. The Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) for the academic year '25 - '26 stands at Rs. 415 crore, representing a 30% growth over the previous year.

At the heart of the LEAD Group's success lies its innovative approach to education. The company's Learning System integrates research-backed curriculum and pedagogy with cutting-edge technology, ensuring conceptual understanding and the development of 21st-century skills. The system is now the preferred choice for schools across the country, with a presence in over 8,500 schools across 400+ towns and cities, reaching nearly 40 lakh students and empowering more than 60,000 teachers.

One of the key innovations that set the LEAD Group apart is TECHBOOK, India’s first AI-powered, augmented reality (AR)-integrated textbook. This personalized and experiential learning tool aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 reforms, supporting future-ready skills such as coding, AI, and foundation programs for competitive exams like IIT-JEE and NEET.

CEO and Co-founder of the LEAD Group, Sumeet Mehta, expressed his satisfaction with the results, stating, "The results reflect the measurable learning impact and growth achieved for the academic year '25 - '26." Mehta is committed to building India's most trusted Learning System and making excellent education accessible to every child, in every school.

The LEAD Group's growth has been driven by the rising demand for its proprietary Learning System. This demand, coupled with strategic acquisitions like QuizNext and the K-12 India business of Pearson, has enabled the company to enhance its offerings and expand its reach. The LEAD Group's unique value proposition is further underscored by its 100% net revenue retention among its partner schools, making it the only Learning System company in India with this distinction.

As the LEAD Group continues to transform school education in India, it remains steadfast in its mission to ensure every child receives a high-quality, future-ready education. With its innovative approach, commitment to research, and focus on teacher and student empowerment, the LEAD Group is poised to continue shaping the future of education in India.
