Last year was hard for many, how was it for you?

Last year was challenging for the entire world and the education industry got affected severely leading to the change in SOPs and the problem of fund flow in the education system. This was the time when the fee financing model came as a rescue for both schools and parents. Financepeer witnessed exponential growth during this period and our reach of fee financing disbursals surpassed 1 million marks.

How did it affect the education industry?

The impact on the education industry was unprecedented and it resulted in the industry resorting to newer dynamics with online education taking the driving seat. The liquidity in the education engine led to a crisis-like situation as both parents and schools witnessed a shortage of funds. Entire education landscape has seen a change and now hybrid mode of education will become new normal.
