Itis widely seen that things are happening in the education sector  where Private equity and venture fund are investing highly  in this category and perceiving it as the hottest sector. As Helix Investments has invested $10 million in LearningMate Solutions, a provider of e-learning education solutions.

LearningMate provides various services like Content Development, LMS (Learning Management System) and VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) products.  The investment would help company to increase capex expenditure and enter different verticals in education sector. The investment in e-learning is although lower compared to Learning Management solutions, the investment could very well proliferate the company’s growth rate.


With education sector being divided into different segments  like offline test preparation, pre-school, vocational training, corporate training, distance e-learning, education content, Learning Management solutions for education institutes. With the demand for cheaper education in US and european market has opened up a lot of e-learning and other outsourcing opportunities for Indians, in US alone this segment is seeing more than 40% growth on an annual basis and the market there is nearly 1 billion US dollars, and with recent education reforms that we are seeing  in the country it is sureshot that this education sector will be high priority for the private equity players and VC's

Thanks veena madam, for systematic and timely feeds on what is happening in the field of private equity. Why 0 referrals? You could either use any existing community ( exclusive for PE) or create a new one yourself( 4 PE). So much information regarding from your part, so that someone interested can in this field can benefit.

Thanks padmanabhan for your comment, i think than creating new community it would be better we use the communities which are there and i guess startup world is a community where i guess we can post the venture and PE kind of things, as VC's and PE's go for investing in these startups, so thought of putting it here than anywhere else....and for the referral thing that you have asked, i guess too much of referrals would be a problem many may not be interested. why not we all check the community regularly for what's happening, its just a thought would like to know what others think??
