28 Nov 2025 CW Team

KKR will continue to hold a majority stake and will play a key role in driving Lighthouse Learning’s next phase of expansion.

The latest investment will help Lighthouse Learning scale its network of high-quality K-12 schools and pre-schools across major Indian cities. The company will also focus on strengthening its teaching capabilities, enhancing technology adoption and improving operational efficiency across its platform.

Lighthouse Learning operates in the early childhood and K-12 segments and manages a diverse portfolio of brands, including EuroKids, Kangaroo Kids, EuroSchool, Billabong High International, Centre Point Group of Schools, Heritage International Xperiential School and Heritage Xperiential Learning School, among others. The group educates more than 190,000 students daily through over 1,850 pre-schools and 60 K-12 schools.

Since KKR’s initial investment in 2019, Lighthouse Learning has continued to expand its presence through both organic and inorganic growth, catering to rising household demand for quality education. Its footprint has strengthened across major cities such as Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad and Delhi-NCR.

Akshay Tanna, Partner and Head of India Private Equity at KKR, said, “Lighthouse Learning has built one of India’s most trusted and respected education services platforms, combining academic quality with a strong brand reputation.”

Prajodh Rajan, Founder and Group CEO of Lighthouse Learning, said KKR’s long-term vision, global expertise and deep commitment to education would help the group scale further and set new benchmarks for excellence across the sector.

KKR is making its investment largely from its Asian Fund IV along with other KKR-managed capital.
