Education sector lender Indian School Finance Company (ISFC) is planning to raise $10-12 million in its eighth round of funding through a mix of both equity and debt, and has initiated talks with a clutch of family offices and high networth individuals (HNIs).
“We are taking this investment round as an opportunity to convert ourselves into a full-service, digitally-driven business. ISFC is in a unique position with a strong brand value, large customer base, and well-diversified pan-India distribution and collection network. We simply need to execute our digital transformation and work on linking the whole ecosystem that would give us exponential scale with very little, known, and mitigable risk on our turf,” Sandeep Wirkhare, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer at ISFC said.

Synopsis
In view of the pandemic, Hyderabad-based Indian School Finance Company (IFSC) is looking to extend interest-free fixed instalment loans and help drive schools towards digital transformation.

From drawing up the legislation for a
Higher Education Commission of India to setting up a Central University in Leh to strengthening 15,000 schools and creating
sainik schools as part of the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) implementation plan to the government s proposed
amendments to the Apprenticeship Act and the Rs 3,000-crore corpus allocated for it most education-related announcements in the Budget have been dubbed welcome moves by startups.
However, many believe that Budget 2021 missed the opportunity to make big-ticket announcements (GST cuts, etc.), adequate fund allocation in education so as to fast-track the rollout of NEP, and other incentives critical to boost a pandemic-hit economy.
