Frequently Asked Questions
About IndiaEdXpert & Indian Market Entry
Why should international EdTech companies enter the Indian market?
India has the world's largest K-12 education system with 1.5 million schools and 250+ million students. The EdTech market is valued at $3.5 billion (2023) with 15% annual growth. Rising middle class, increasing education expenditure, and growing demand for international curriculum create significant opportunities.

We specialize exclusively in education market entry with 100+ years of combined expertise. Our unique approach combines strategy, pilot testing, and content development in an integrated framework. We've successfully guided 120+ global clients with 500+ school partnerships across all major Indian educational boards.
How long does it typically take to successfully enter the Indian market?
Market entry timeline varies by complexity. Market research takes 8-12 weeks, pilot programs run 8-12 weeks, and content development requires 16-20 weeks. Most clients see initial market entry within 6-9 months with full-scale implementation in 12-18 months.
What are the biggest challenges international EdTech companies face in India?
Key challenges include curriculum alignment across diverse educational boards, cultural adaptation, price sensitivity, complex decision-making processes, infrastructure variations, and understanding stakeholder expectations (students, teachers, parents, administrators).
Do we need a local Indian entity or can we work directly with IndiaEdXpert?
You can work directly with IndiaEdXpert initially. We help determine the optimal business structure based on your expansion plans. Some companies start with direct partnerships while others establish local entities later for scaling.
