Kasan said that with the support of investors and franchisees, the preschool will contribute to the development of young minds and have a lasting impact on the Indian preschool industry.
The potential of early education is on the cusp of increasing adoption in cities beyond India’s first-tier cities, as several preschool institutions enter India from global markets and Indian entities expand into wider cities. According to IMARC Group, the preschool and childcare market is expected to be worth $7.3 billion by 2028, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%.
Safari Kid International Preschool has over 50 centers in 7 countries.
