@sidin EPIC=EH*CTV … what do you think?

[Sandeep Farias @sandeepfarias]

@smitadeorah @leadschoolindia It's been fun and an absolute privilege to work with @smitadeorah @mehtasumeet as they build @leadschoolindia, an #enduring company focused on the underserved communities @elevarequity @vipulrawal

[Sandeep Farias @sandeepfarias]

@mehtasumeet @chandrarsrikant @mehtasumeet and @smitadeorah ... filmi or not, quite the story ...

On building enduring companies ...

[Elevar Equity @elevarequity]

1/10 There have been many discussions of the ‘#EconomicWinter’ & not a day goes by without folks asking for our views as ‘long-only’ investors in emerging markets. We've seen multiple highs and lows, and believe it is time to talk about #Investing from a ‘ground up’ perspective.

[Sandeep Farias @sandeepfarias]

A special and emotional moment for all of us at @elevarequity ... it has been a wonderful journey with @Leadschoolindia so far, and looking forward to continuing this journey - for access to affordable and quality education #equityforequity #humancenteredcapital #ElevarMethod

[LEAD Group @leadgroupindia]

Super excited to announce that #LEAD has entered the #Unicorn club! This incredible milestone comes with the funding of USD 100 million at a valuation of $1.1 billion. This Series E funding round was led by investors #WestBridgeCapital and @gsvventures

Congratulations @mehtasumeet @smitadeorah @leadschoolindia ... as always wonderful to see you getting the recognition you deserve, and an enterprise value that recognises the value being created on the ground

[Sumeet Yashpal Mehta @mehtasumeet]

Grateful to our students, teachers & school owners who trust LEAD every day to improve education & operations in schools. For India to achieve its true potential, its schools have to transform & become world class. We have covered only 1% of India’s private schools. Miles to go!

[Sandeep Farias @sandeepfarias]

From 5 to 5000(1000x) schools, and only getting started on its scaling journey. Signing up 10 schools a day during a pandemic truly demonstrates the value @leadschoolindia is delivering - for students/parents from low income communities, and for affordable private schools.

[Sumeet Yashpal Mehta @mehtasumeet]

The number of students at 70% mastery in a class, more than double with @leadschoolindia within a year. From 5 schools in 2017 to 5000 in 2022, we are adding 10 schools a day! All this due to the passion of our LEADers! Privileged to have an awesome team!

Super helpful recommendations from @Cloudphysician @dhruvjoshi_cp @dileepraman

[Cloudphysician @Cloudphysician]

In light of the #COVID-19 #surge, and the plethora of information on medications & treatment protocols, there is uncertainty over optimal management strategies. This webinar shares @Cloudphysician's recs on best practices in management of COVID-19 patients

Pandemic first, environmental hazards next (life shortening pollution, dwindling water supplies, heatwaves, natural disasters etc.) India is home to 13 of top 20 cities most at risk. And the top 20 cities with worst air quality are all in India. https://t.co/o9SShpXang

[Sandeep Farias @sandeepfarias]

A company that is close to our heart @ElevarEquity ... and the outcomes being achieved on the ground even in a pandemic afflicted world @leadschoolindia

[Elevar Equity @elevarequity]

In a pandemic affected world, with schools shut down across India, @leadschoolindia continues to keep affordable private schools at the center of its offering. @sandeepfarias and @jyo_krishnan analyze why this strategic focus makes all the sense

[Sandeep Farias @sandeepfarias]

A pleasure @mehtasumeet ... there is so much to say, and all true ... and even then anything we write cannot do justice to the amazing work by @leadschoolindia, @smitadeorah, you and the entire team are doing on the ground ... stay safe

[Sumeet Yashpal Mehta @mehtasumeet]

Schools are an article of faith for us. When we transform schools, we transform education in India.

Thanks @elevarequity & @sandeepfarias for taking the time to write this.

Extremely important thread to read, for adults in general, and parents in particular.

@aashishmall @smitadeorah @mehtasumeet @gsvventures @deborahquazzo @leadschoolindia @WestBridgeLLP @elevarequity Thanks @aashishmall - could not agree more with you. Lead is much more than a school. #childcentric #EducationalOutcomes

[Sandeep Farias @sandeepfarias]

@deborahquazzo it has been an absolute pleasure to work with you on this investment into @leadschoolindia @mehtasumeet @smitadeorah - @elevarequity @gsvventures #humancenteredequity

[GSV Ventures @gsvventures]

In 2013 @mehtasumeet and @smitadeorah, co-founded @leadschoolindia to bring excellent education to small towns & affordable schools in India. GSV is proud to co-lead the $30M Series D w/ WestBridge Capital!

[Sandeep Farias @sandeepfarias]

@smitadeorah hits the nail on the head. It is possible to deliver student learning and scale at the same time - and I would add affordably, and by working with educators and schools, not bypassing them @leadschoolindia @mehtasumeet @elevarequity

[Smita Deorah @smitadeorah]

Super excited to welcome @gsvventures @deborahquazzo! Proud of @leadschoolindia team that has shown we can deliver student learning and scale at the same time. Thanks, Sandeep Singhal @WestBridgeLLP and @sandeepfarias @elevarequity

@anilsg @IAmNchaudhary ... look forward to the continued journey of scaling the #OpenNetwork that @SamunnatiFin has built even further, and leveraging the synergies of a shared entrepreneurial journey with #Kamatan

[Elevar Equity @elevarequity]

As journeys converge for our portfolio companies @SamunnatiFin and Kamatan, @sandeepfarias and @jyo_krishnan share thoughts on why we feel that this “coming together” can play an important role in the development of the Indian agri landscape.
