Industry executives say government partnerships could provide LEAD with massive scale
WestBridge and GSV-backed edtech firm LEAD School is eyeing government schools as a new market for its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings, as the company looks to expand its total addressable market and revive growth momentum after achieving break-even at the Ebitda level.
