Repo Rate Cut to Boost Edtech Accessibility and Funding in Bharat

By-Neeraj Kansal, Founder and CEO, Crack Academy

“The recent repo rate cut by the RBI is a welcome move, especially for sectors like edtech that rely on affordability and accessibility to scale. Lower interest rates can ease the burden of education loans, making higher education and competitive exam preparation more accessible to students in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities—our core focus areas. With improved liquidity in the system, we also foresee increased investor confidence and better funding opportunities for edtech startups that are driving change at the grassroots level. This decision is likely to accelerate the digital transformation of education across Bharat.”
