What counts as an EdTech company

An EdTech companies list covers businesses that sell learning through technology, and the word stretches wide. Before you buy or build one, decide which of these you want:

  • K-12 learning: apps and online tutoring for school students, homework help, and digital content sold to schools.
  • Test preparation: online and hybrid coaching for entrance and job exams such as JEE, NEET, CAT, the UPSC civil services, banking and SSC. Many began as classroom coaching and added online batches, or the other way round.
  • Higher education and upskilling: online degrees run with universities under UGC's rules for online programmes, and courses in coding, data, design, digital marketing and finance for working people.
  • B2B learning: corporate training platforms and learning management systems (LMS) sold to HR and L&D teams, assessment and proctoring tools, and school ERP and fee software.
  • Language and skill learning, from spoken English to coding and music classes for children.
  • Classroom hardware and content: interactive panels, smart class content and lab kits sold to schools.

The larger companies are mostly in Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Pune. Test-prep firms cluster where students gather: Kota for engineering and medical entrance, Delhi's Mukherjee Nagar and Old Rajinder Nagar for the civil services, and Ameerpet in Hyderabad for software courses.

Where to find EdTech companies

There is no single register of EdTech companies, because no licence covers EdTech as such. A company registers like any other business, under the Companies Act or as a firm. Degrees still come from universities that UGC allows to teach online, with the EdTech company as platform or partner, and classroom coaching centres follow the rules of their state. The free sources are scattered:

  • the Startup India portal, where many EdTech startups recognised by DPIIT have profiles;
  • the MCA portal, to check a company's CIN and directors once you have its name (our CIN and DIN search guide shows how);
  • app stores and course marketplaces, which show who sells what, and to whom;
  • education fairs and conferences, where companies exhibit to schools and colleges;
  • job portals, which show who is hiring teachers, counsellors and sales staff, a fair sign of growth.

All of these show companies one at a time. A list with phone numbers and emails, sorted by city, is what lets a sales team call fifty of them in a week.

Our EdTech and training companies data

Our EdTech & E-learning Companies list holds 1,367 EdTech, e-learning and online training companies in 44 cities. 86% have a mobile number, 74% an email address and 43% a website, which lets you see what each one sells before you call. The largest groups are in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai. Young companies move and change numbers often, so check a sample before a big campaign.

Online learning is only part of the market. The Computer & Vocational Training Institutes list adds 13,688 contacts. The Schools & Colleges list adds 67,232 contacts. Training institutes are partners and franchisees for many EdTech firms, and schools and colleges are their customers.

EdTech firms, institutes and schools

Who sells to EdTech companies, and who partners with them

  • Schools and colleges, as customers and partners: EdTech firms sell them content, ERP and test series, and run online programmes with universities. Our schools list guide covers that side.
  • Training institutes and franchisees, who deliver a company's courses in their town or sell its test series to local students.
  • Content and production: subject experts, video studios, animators, translators for Hindi and regional-language versions, and question bank writers.
  • Technology: cloud hosting, video streaming, LMS and live class platforms, proctoring, and app development.
  • Admissions and sales: telecalling and counselling teams, lead generation and ad agencies, and education loan partners. Our lead generation companies guide compares agencies with buying a list.
  • Corporate buyers of B2B learning: HR and L&D heads who buy training for their staff. Our HR database guide covers them.
  • Hiring and payroll: teachers, mentors and counsellors are hired in large numbers, so recruitment and payroll firms sell here too.

How to approach an EdTech company

  1. Know the model. A firm that sells to students needs leads, content and support. One that sells to schools needs distributors and trainers. A B2B platform needs integrations and corporate clients.
  2. Call the right head: the founder in a small firm, the head of content for studios and writers, the CTO for technology, and the head of partnerships for schools and institutes.
  3. Time it to the academic year. CBSE schools start their session around April and plan purchases before it. Test-prep firms are busiest before the big exams and during admission drives after results. Pitch in the quieter weeks between.
  4. Open with their students. For example: "Good afternoon. I'm calling from a Jaipur studio that turns recorded classes into short Hindi revision videos. If your next NEET batch starts in June, would ten free sample videos for one chapter help you test the idea?"
  5. Follow up with a sample, not a brochure. A demo lesson, a pilot with one batch or a free week on your platform does more than a deck.

EdTech firms also make many calls of their own, to students and parents. Anyone making sales calls must follow TRAI's rules; our DND check guide explains them.

Questions people ask

Do EdTech companies need a licence in India?

Not as EdTech. They register as businesses and follow the usual tax, consumer protection and data protection laws. Online degrees must come from a university that UGC allows to offer them, and classroom coaching centres must follow their state's rules.

Is an EdTech list the same as a coaching centres list?

No. An EdTech list holds companies that sell learning online or to institutions. Coaching centres and tuition classes are local classroom businesses. Many EdTech firms sell to them or partner with them, so sellers often want both.

Who buys an EdTech companies list?

Content studios, software and cloud firms, ad and lead agencies, recruiters, and schools or institutes looking for a learning partner. EdTech firms also buy lists of schools and institutes to find partners.

How can I reach schools and colleges directly?

With a schools and colleges list sorted by city. See our guides to schools lists and CBSE schools lists, or combine towns in the list builder.
