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 (a SriYantra estimate, to 2047) 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 — 2024

The model is structured.

Before incorporation, the founders iterate the four-layer SriYantra capital stack — PropCo + OpCo + Brand + Operator — with each layer holding the risk and return it is best suited to bear. This pre-incorporation work is the founders' own, carried out across their prior roles.

2024

SriYantra Education Catalysts is incorporated.

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.

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.

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.

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. We structure for family offices, sovereigns, and patient HNIs — people who think generationally about both capital and country.

Leadership

Operators, not middlemen.
One table.

Each partner has lived through full cycles in their domain — capital markets, education, and strategic advisory — and chose to come together because this thesis sits at their intersection.
