In the spotlight: Education Stocks in India!

India has a significant position in the global education industry thanks to its extensive network of renowned educational institutions. Enormous potential exists in the field of education as India has the largest population in the world in the age range of 5 to 24 years. Given the industry’s contribution to the economy and the projected CAGR of around 20% for the Indian online education industry from 2021 to 2025, 100% of foreign direct investments (FDI) are permitted via the automatic route in the education sector.
