About SriYantra

We're not a fund.
We're the structured-finance bridge to India's next generation of schools.

SriYantra Education Catalysts exists because India's premium-school market is starved of capital while India's capital is starved of long-duration, real-asset opportunities aligned with national development. We connect the two — through a clean four-layer model that puts operators, brands, growth capital, and real-estate capital into a single investable project.

Our Mission

Catalyse 50,000 premium schools by 2047.

India needs 50,000 more premium K-12 schools to meet the demand of its prosperous, aspirational middle class. The constraint is not demand — it's the integration of capital, real estate, brand, and operator.

We are the integrator. Every SriYantra-catalysed school is a 25-year cash-flowing asset, a high-quality educational institution, and a piece of India's developmental infrastructure.

Our Vision

A new asset class. A generational compounding.

We see schools the way Blackstone sees logistics, the way KKR sees data centres — as a structured, institutional-grade real-asset category with a 25-year development runway.

Our vision is to make premium K-12 school infrastructure the most reliable yield-bearing real-asset class in India by 2030, with SriYantra as the structural backbone.

Our Story

How we got here.

A decade of separate signals from real estate, education, and capital markets converged into one thesis.

2014 — 2019

The signals arrive separately.

Our founders worked across three industries — wealth management, school operations, and real estate — and watched the same pattern emerge from different angles. HNIs increasingly looking for inflation-protected, real-asset yield. Premium schools turning away applicants by the hundreds. Land in metros compounding faster than any financial asset.

2020 — 2022

The pandemic clarifies the thesis.

When Indian parents could no longer afford to send children abroad, demand for premium domestic schools tripled overnight. NEP 2020 was passed, ratifying a generation of pedagogical shift. The "education infrastructure" line item appeared on family-office allocation models for the first time.

2023

The model is structured.

After eighteen months of iteration with five family offices and three school brands, the four-layer SriYantra capital stack is finalised: PropCo + OpCo + Brand + Operator, with each layer holding the risk and return it is best suited to bear.

2024

SriYantra Education Catalysts launches.

Anshul Raj Garg founds SriYantra with Sudhangshu Biswal and Sanjay Garg — operators, not middlemen. First two projects close in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. Khelo Bharat Niti 2025 validates the policy tailwind.

2026 — 2030

Scaling to 20 cities, 100 projects.

Targeting 100 catalysed projects across India's top 20 urban centres by 2030. Geographic expansion into the GCC and East Africa, where Indian education brands have strong outbound demand.

Our Approach

How we structure a project.

Three phases. One repeatable methodology. Every SriYantra project follows the same disciplined path from site selection to handover.

01

Site & Sponsor

We identify the right catchment — premium-demand corridor, supportive zoning, scarce comparable supply — and the right anchor sponsor: a real-estate investor, family office, or CSR-mandated corporate.

02

Structure & Stack

We assemble the four-layer capital stack. PropCo for land and infrastructure. OpCo for working capital. A vetted education brand for pedagogy. A capable operator for execution. Term sheets, lease terms, brand agreements, all aligned.

03

Build & Handover

We oversee build to NEP-aligned spec, brand setup, faculty recruitment, and admissions ramp. By Year 3, the school is at steady-state enrolment. By Year 5, we exit operational oversight — the asset is self-sustaining.

What We Stand For

Four non-negotiables.

These aren't slogans. They're the filters we use when we say no to a project — which we do, often.

01 / Principle

Operators, not middlemen.

We invest alongside every project. If we're not willing to put our own time, reputation, and capital into a deal, we don't structure it for others.

02 / Principle

Investment-grade discipline.

Every project gets the same diligence as a ₹500-Cr institutional deal — even at ₹25-Cr ticket size. Land title, demand modelling, sensitivity stress-tests, the works.

03 / Principle

Education first.

A school that doesn't graduate well-educated children is a failed investment, period. Returns follow educational outcomes — never the reverse.

04 / Principle

Long duration.

We structure for 25-year holds, not 3-year flips. Our investors are family offices, sovereigns, and patient HNIs — people who think generationally about both capital and country.

Leadership

Four operators.
Four decades. One table.

Each partner has lived through a full cycle in their domain — and chose to come together for this one specifically because it sits at the intersection of all four.

Anshul has spent two decades structuring private capital for HNIs and family offices across asset classes. He saw the educational-infrastructure opportunity first as a wealth manager — and finally got tired of explaining why the structures didn't yet exist. So he built them.
