The Education Gap

Why Manipal Needs More Premium Schools

Despite growing demand, affluent families face limited quality options.

Educated Parents, Limited Options

MAHE faculty with PhDs from global universities find very few K-12 schools matching their academic expectations for their children.

Medical Professional Demand

Doctors at Kasturba Medical College/Hospital work demanding hours and need quality schools with extended care options.

International Community

With 70+ nationalities on campus, there's demand for IB curriculum that facilitates student mobility.

The Premium Day School Opportunity

A well-positioned IB/IGCSE school in Manipal can capture demand from 12,000+ premium families. Strategic location near professional hubs is critical for success.

First-Mover Advantage

With only 1-2 IB/IGCSE schools serving 12,000+ families, the supply-demand gap creates significant opportunity for well-executed new entrants.

Regional Opportunity

Extended Catchment Area

A premium school in Manipal can serve demand from surrounding cities, adding 15,000+ families to the addressable market.
