In plain words: How much money is moving and at what prices: the mood of the market.
Leverage Edu, which helps Indian students secure admissions to overseas universities, more than doubled its operating revenue in FY26 as it expanded its international presence. The Delhi-based company also turned EBITDA-positive during the year, while its net losses narrowed 82% year-on-year to Rs 19 crore. The edtech startup’s operating revenue more than doubled to Rs 364.4 crore in FY26 from Rs 173.3 crore in FY25, according to its consolidated financial statements filed with the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Founded by Akshay Chaturvedi in 2017, Leverage Edu helps students navigate the overseas education process, from university selection and admissions to education financing. The platform caters to students across India and international markets, with access to universities in the UK, US, Canada, Germany, Japan and Dubai. Student placement services remained Leverage Edu’s largest revenue stream in FY26, contributing 77% of operating revenue as the segment grew 2.3 times year-on-year to Rs 281.8 crore, supported by the company’s expansion into new markets. Its Fly business, launched in late 2022 to provide financial services to students going abroad, also gained traction, with revenue doubling to Rs 59.6 crore. The segment earns commissions from education loans, foreign exchange and student accommodation services.
