This will help Infinity Learn to increase its lead over its competitors in online space and traditional education institutes to tap the country’s USD 225 billion market size (potential by 2025) education sector that has gone online to adapt to the new reality. The approach for acquisitions is not about having a specific budget or number of targets but assessing complementarity and strengthening our position in the education technology (Edtech) sector.”
