About
Sarla Holdings Private Limited focuses on delivering quality educational services through its network of schools, emphasizing the International Baccalaureate curriculum to foster holistic development in students from diverse backgrounds. Established in 2003 and headquartered in Gurgaon, India, Sarla Holdings Private Limited specializes in the education sector, particularly through the Pathways Group of Schools. Founders Prashant Jain and Reena Singh previously led initiatives to create an integrated educational platform. The company has successfully completed 2 deals, with the most recent on January 27, 2016, involving a sale to management for INR 2250 million, marking a significant shift back to original ownership.
The total amount raised by the company stands at INR 2250 million. Pathways Group of Schools offers a comprehensive suite of educational services centered around the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum. The company operates multiple campuses, including the flagship Pathways World School in Gurgaon, which was the first IB Day cum Residential School in North India. It provides a holistic educational experience by offering all four IB programs—Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), Diploma Programme (DP), and Career-related Programme (CP).
Serving students aged 3 to 18 years, Pathways schools focus on preparing learners for global citizenship through inquiry-based learning across regions such as Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, and Ghaziabad. For the year 2023, Sarla Holdings Private Limited reported a revenue of INR 39,399,393. 50 and an EBITDA of INR 11,010,797. 90, reflecting its solid financial performance in the education sector.
Sarla Holdings Private Limited is strategically positioned for future growth, focusing on launching additional educational programs and expanding its footprint in emerging markets. The recent management buyback in January 2016 will enable the company to enhance its offerings and infrastructure. Specific plans include exploring new geographic regions for school expansion and diversifying its educational services to include more contemporary learning methodologies, thereby aiming to reach a broader audience by 2025.
