Leverage Edu

The company's primary clients are students from emerging economies like India, Nigeria, and Nepal who aspire to pursue higher education abroad in countries such as the UK, US, Canada, and Germany. Leverage Edu's business model is a full-stack platform providing a comprehensive suite of services that cover the entire student journey. Revenue is generated through success fees and commissions from its network of over 850 partner universities for student placements, as well as fees for premium services. The company has shown significant revenue growth, reporting over ₹180 crore in the fiscal year ending March 2025.

Leverage Edu's core offering is an AI-driven platform that provides personalized counseling for university and course selection.

Beyond admissions, the company has expanded its services to include financial solutions through its arm, Fly Finance, which facilitates education loans and international money transfers. Another vertical, Fly Homes, helps students find accommodation. To further support students, Leverage Edu offers test preparation for exams like IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, and GMAT through its 'Leverage Live' online classes. The company also engages universities directly with Univalley AI, a SaaS product designed to help institutions manage their student admissions process.
