Physics Wallah, an edtech unicorn, has defied the industry’s post-pandemic struggles, securing $210 million in funding and valuing it at $2.8 billion. Co-founder and CEO Alakh Pandey attributes this success to the company’s focus on content and impact, rather than just funding and profits.
Pandey emphasizes that content is the core of any edtech venture, and Physics Wallah has invested heavily in developing high-quality content. The company has a dedicated team of 250 people working on content development and uses artificial intelligence to provide personalized learning experiences. Physics Wallah’s offline expansion, including its Vidyapeeth program, has also shown promising results, with eight out of 11 centers turning profitable.
The company plans to continue innovating, with initiatives such as a plug-in box to turn regular TVs into smart boards for government schools and rural areas. Physics Wallah aims to achieve 50% growth in FY25, with a focus on offline expansion and innovation. Co-founder Prateek Maheshwari notes that the company’s online operations have been profitable from day one, and offline centers will start delivering results over time.
Physics Wallah’s success story is a testament to the importance of prioritizing content and impact in the edtech industry.
