Noida-based edtech company PhysicsWallah (PW) received SEBI approval on July 3, 2026 for its long-awaited $500 million IPO, clearing the final regulatory hurdle before listing.


Deal Structure


  • Total issue size: $500 million (~₹4,200 crore)
  • Fresh issue: $300 million
  • Offer for sale: $200 million (founders + WestBridge)
  • Target valuation: $3.4–3.8 billion
  • Book-running lead managers: Kotak, JM Financial, Axis, Goldman Sachs
  • Target listing: September 2026 on BSE and NSE

  • Use of Fresh Issue Proceeds


  • Expansion of PW Vidyapeeth offline centres to 200+ cities
  • Investment in higher-education vertical (PW Institute of Innovation)
  • Technology and content production infrastructure
  • Repayment of ₹550 crore in outstanding debt

  • Financial Snapshot (FY26)


  • Revenue from operations: ₹4,850 crore (58% YoY growth)
  • EBITDA: ₹410 crore (positive for second consecutive year)
  • Paying users: 12.4 million
  • Offline centres: 180 across 110 cities

  • Why It Matters


    PW's approval sets a positive precedent for the beleaguered edtech sector after Byju's collapse. As the first profitable edtech IPO in India, its pricing will anchor valuations for Unacademy, Vedantu and Scaler when they eventually list.
