However, US private equity firm KKR & Co have moved forward in purchasing a majority stake for $400m USD in EuroKids. EuroKids is one of India’s largest education service providers in the pre-school and private K-12 school sectors.
The $400m purchase granted KKR & Co a 92% majority stake with the sellers being a domestic private equity fund (75%) and Swiss PE house Partners Group (17%) who are also the current owners of Australia’s “Guardian Early Learning”.
EuroKids – one of the largest operators in India’s growing organised pre-school sector recently purchased Mumbai based “Kangaroo Kids Education Ltd” in 2017 who have a chain of 79 pre-schools under the Kangaroo Kids brand and a chain of 16 schools operating under the Billabong High brand.
