Vision

Enabling affordable, high-quality education at scale through a community-powered, omnichannel consumer tech platform

PW Q4 FY26
www.pw.live

Dear Shareholders,

PhysicsWallah was founded on a simple belief that quality education is the foundation of opportunity, and no student should be left behind because of circumstance, geography, or economic background. As we reflect on our journey so far, we are deeply humbled and overwhelmed by the trust, love, and support we have received from millions of students, parents, and teachers across the country. Their faith in us continues to inspire our responsibility to build an institution that can meaningfully transform lives through education.

Every year, countless students fill examination forms and walk into test centres without the benefit of structured guidance, quality teaching, or the confidence that comes from proper preparation not because of a lack of determination, but because such opportunities were often priced beyond what their families could afford. When we launched our very first batch in May 2020 at a price of ₹999, more than 50,000 students enrolled within just ten days. That moment reinforced a belief that continues to define us today: there has never been a shortage of students willing to learn; there has only been a shortage of high-quality education that was truly accessible and affordable.

The journey so far

As we write this shareholder letter reflecting on our performance for FY2026, our first full financial year following our IPO in November 2025, we believe our financial performance is a reflection of the trust we have earned from students and parents, and of the scale and impact we continue to build with discipline and long-term conviction.

FY26 was a pivotal year for us. We grew our revenues by 35% YoY to INR 3,900 Cr, with a 3-year CAGR of 74%, while continuing to strengthen the foundation of our business across online, offline, and hybrid learning ecosystems. We now operate 16+ exam categories, each of which has crossed 10 Cr in annual collections. Our learner community has grown to over 142 million across social media platforms, making us one of the largest and most engaged education communities, with over 53 lakhs paid learners for this year. We also take immense pride in creating operating leverage as we scale, with 3x Pre-IndAS EBITDA compared to last year and a positive PBT.

Our investments in building State Boards and vernacular expansion are already showing great progress. We scaled this business to 393k enrolments this year and EBITDA became positive in the first year of operations. We will continue to invest into this business, with TAM in excess of 60M students.

Our focus on deepening penetration within high-potential, early-stage learner cohorts Foundation, Commerce, Boards and CUET, has yielded strong results with student enrolments across these categories growing 49% year-on-year. This traction validates our K12 strategy of engaging students earlier in their academic journey.

Civil Services, including UPSC and State PSCs, has doubled in student enrolments this year. Our strategic investment in Sarrthi IAS has shown promising results, complementing our PW's offerings.

Our premium offerings including Curious Jr. Power Batch, Infinity, and Infinity Pro, together crossed 960k enrolments this year. That tells us something important: when we build quality and enhance the experience, students are willing to pay for it.


PWQ4 FY26

The stories behind the numbers

The numbers matter, but the stories matter more. Beauty Jha sold food from her father's cart in Delhi before she cleared NEET and joined Lady Hardinge Medical College. Umer Ganie who painted houses in a Kashmiri village by day and studied by lamp at night, he cleared NEET too. Gagan, the son of a godown keeper, lifted cylinders for less than Rs. 400 a day; he is now at IIT BHU. These are the stories that drive every PWian. And there are thousands of stories like theirs, and lakhs more waiting to be written. The opportunity in front of us is enormous, and honestly, we are still touching only a fraction of it. The real work, of making quality education truly accessible to Bharat, has only just begun.

This is also why student engagement remains our north star. Every PW teacher is rated by students regularly. We learned early that if a student isn't enjoying the learning, no metric we report will mean anything in the long run.

Looking ahead

We are, at heart, a tech-first company with a strong online foundation (91% of the total paid students' study with us online). The reason we could deliver a year of live teaching for ₹4,000 in 2020 was that we had spent the prior years building our own video infrastructure, our own CDN, our own delivery stack, when these were not yet commodities.

The same instinct now sits behind our AI work. Our early investments in AI have led to multiple product innovations within our batches. Our own small language model, built on Indian STEM data and proprietary touchpoints, has been leaner and for our use cases, more effective than much larger frontier models.

AI is not a replacement for our teachers. It is a way to give every Indian student a tutor available at 11 at night, one who knows exactly where they struggle, doesn't judge them, and teaches them in their own language. Our goal is to bring the cost of this down to the lowest cost per hour. In a country where one teacher often handles five grades in a single classroom, a personal tutor for every child is no longer a luxury. It is what India needs next.

We spent extensive time over the past many months in deep research; meeting multiple Founders, Product managers, Investors and exploring use cases of AI in the education landscape. We are very confident that our pivot to AI-first in everything we do will be a game-changer and trend setter for the Industry.

Everything we have shared with you so far, the students, the stories, the technology, the discipline, is what shapes the year in front of us. FY27 has begun on solid footing. Our Vishwas Diwas sales are up 36% year-on-year. We will keep investing where students benefit, and we will stay disciplined where shareholders expect us to be.

The mission continues for the students of Bharat.

With gratitude,

Alakh & Prateek

FAQs

F A Q

Q1 - AI is increasingly becoming a force multiplier in education. How is this shift benefiting PhysicsWallah's model and strengthening its long-term positioning?

AI is becoming a foundational layer across the education ecosystem, and we believe it strongly reinforces PhysicsWallah's long-term positioning.

We began investing in AI more than two years ago, ahead of the current adoption cycle. While access to AI models is increasingly commoditised, our advantage comes from the scale of our learner ecosystem, proprietary educational context, and deep engagement data built over time. Nearly 33 lakh students spend over an hour on our platform every day, generating billions of learning signals annually across concepts, formats, and languages.

This conviction has led us to build our own AI stack purpose-built for Bharat.

Aryabhata

Numerical reasoning · Indian exams

  • 20B model with efficient ~3B active parameters
  • Trained on a large-scale proprietary academic dataset
  • 10x/7x lower inference cost than Gemini 2.5 Flash / GPT-5 Mini

ConceptGuru

Exam-focused, teacher-style

  • Delivering teacher-like Hinglish conceptual learning using NCERT-aligned Indian educational datasets
  • 10x cheaper than GPT-4o mini
  • Focus on deeper understanding, mnemonics, examples, etc.

Awaaz

Natural teacher voices, inclusive

  • Advanced multilingual text to speech enabling natural, instructional Indic-language
  • Trained on 1000 hrs of high-quality teachers' voice data.

Together, these models give us cost, quality, and contextual advantages that off-the-shelf AI cannot replicate at India's price points and they form the foundation that powers the application layer described below.

For students, AI has become a second teacher inside every class, available round the clock, in the student's language, with infinite patience. Doubts are resolved instantly, subjective answers in Indic languages are evaluated in seconds, and mental well-being support is now reaching students in the moments they need it most.

PW Q4 FY26

www.pw.live


PW

For teachers, AI is automating repetitive and administrative tasks such as assessment generation, note preparation, practice content creation, and doubt handling, allowing faculty to focus more on teaching, mentoring, and student engagement. This has helped reduce manual effort in academic support processes, improving scalability and resource efficiency.

AI-assisted topic timelines and automated grading workflows are now embedded in faculty workflows, materially reducing the time and cost spent on routine evaluation and content preparation.

Importantly, we do not view AI as a replacement for teachers. Our YouTube views grew 58% YoY this year, reinforcing our belief that trusted educators remain central to learning outcomes. Overall, we believe the long-term winners in education will combine AI infrastructure with trusted teaching pedagogy, large learner ecosystems, and deep educational context, areas where PhysicsWallah is uniquely positioned.

Across engineering, product development, and operations, AI-native workflows are materially improving execution speed and productivity.

91% of our code is now AI-assisted, driving over 2x improvement in engineering go-to-market velocity. Beyond productivity gains, AI is fundamentally reshaping product development at PW; enabling lean, highly focused teams to build and scale products faster. AI-native tools, internal copilots, and SDLC agents are streamlining testing, debugging, documentation, and deployment workflows, leading to faster experimentation, shorter release cycles, and higher engineering throughput without proportional increases in headcount.

AI-led workflows are also transforming sales and operations through high-volume lead processing and AI voice agents that have driven step-change improvements in qualified-lead conversion and cost-to-serve. Some examples for sales and counselling operations are mentioned below:

img-17.jpeg

img-18.jpeg

Beyond tech, AI adoption is scaling rapidly across HR, finance, marketing, and operations through workflow automation initiatives led by our internal “PW AI Squad”, with a large share of non-tech functions now building their own AI prototypes.

We believe AI will increasingly reward education companies that combine proprietary learning data, trusted educators, and rapid execution positioning PhysicsWallah to scale both innovation and outcomes more efficiently over the long term.

Q2 – How was Q4 and full year FY26 performance? What were the key drivers behind this strong FY26?

FY26 marks the company's first full year reporting post listing. Revenue from Operations increased by 35% with 3x swing in Pre-IndAS EBITDA reflecting steadier operating leverage and tighter cost discipline across all the cost heads, especially Direct Expenses, Employee Benefit Expenses (excluding ESOPs), and Marketing. Crucially, this leaner structure was not simply a result of cost cuts; it was enabled by AI-led automation that drove efficiency improvements across functions.

Full Year FY26

Revenue from operations closed at ₹3,900 Cr, up 35% year-on-year, with Pre-IndAS EBITDA of ₹300 Cr at a 7.7% margin, a strong signal of structural profitability taking hold.

img-19.jpeg

Full Year Online & Offline Students Enrolment

Q4FY26

Revenue from operations grew 51% YoY to ₹919 Cr. Pre-IndAS EBITDA came in at ₹9 Cr (1.0% margin), compared to ₹-140 Cr (-22.9% margin) in Q4 FY25. Q4 is seasonally the one of the lightest quarters for the business, as most batch cycles conclude during this period, which naturally compresses revenue recognition and margins.

FY26 Segment Performance

Online (50% of the Revenue from operations)

  • Revenue grew 39% YoY to ₹1,954 Cr.
  • Unique transacting users grew 18% to 4.87 Mn, supported by broad-based momentum with 13 of 16 categories delivering double-digit enrollment growth
  • ACPU expanded 11.4% YoY to ₹4,104, driven by strong uptake in value-added services

Offline (45% of the Revenue from operations)

  • Revenue grew 31% YoY to ₹1,774 Cr.
  • Fastest-growing player in the offline segment. Network expanded by 155 centres to 353, with student enrolments crossing 0.47 M
  • ARPU at ₹36,625, down 9% YoY due to change in segment mix

Others (4% of the Revenue from operations)

  • Revenue of ₹172 Cr, up 32% YoY
  • Comprises B2B content sales and other new initiatives

Q3 – What is Vishwas Diwas, and what does it indicate about demand and community strength?

Vishwas Diwas (literally "Day of Trust") is PW's flagship annual academic launch event, held every 28 February and run as a multi-week campaign window through mid March. It is held annually to formally launch PW's new academic cycle, during which the company unveils new batches, technology integrations, and learning initiatives.

It is India's largest annual education festival and serves as PW's equivalent of a "Day Zero", a moment that sets the tone for the year's revenue trajectory, much as Diwali/Big Billion Day does for e-commerce.

Held on 28 February, 2026, the fifth edition of Vishwas Diwas was the largest to date with over 3.4 million learners tuning in live and translating into strong order momentum.

22 k
▲ +106% YoY State Boards
24 k
▲ +178% YoY
Curious Jr. and Power Batch 6.7 K
▲ +139% YoY
--- ---

This year was further proof that our vision is not merely aspirational, it is measurable, milestone-driven, and increasingly reflected in the numbers. Vishwas Diwas 2026 demonstrated this most vividly with sales from fresh 1,500+ pin codes, reflecting PW's deepening and truly widening reach into the heart of emerging Bharat. Regional momentum was a defining theme of this cycle. South India enrolment growth exceeded 30%, with Karnataka continuing to lead, while Andhra Pradesh and Telangana delivered above 50% growth.

The demand mix reflected both premium aspiration and affordability led breadth. Infinity Pro, Power Batch, and Curious Jr. categories all posted multi-fold growth, and the Infinity Pro offering was extended to more categories, indicating strong willingness to pay at the higher end, even as the base continues to widen.

Taken together, Vishwas Diwas 2026 provides early and encouraging visibility into demand trends across geographies, segments, and price points, giving us a constructive foundation as we enter FY27.

PW Q4 FY26

www.pw.live


Q4

Q4 – What is the seasonality of the business? How should investors interpret quarterly performance?

img-23.jpeg

Our business follows India's exam calendar, and that makes our quarters predictable, not volatile.

Indian students sit for major exams (School, Boards, JEE, NEET, CUET, UPSC, etc.) between February and June. Right after results, they enroll for the next year of coaching. That single decision window March to September drives most of our cash collections for the year (~79%* collection of FY26 were done in this period).

But we don't book that cash as revenue right away. Revenue is recognized gradually over the length of each batch (typically across Q2 and Q3, when most of the batches are running).

What this means for:

Q1 (Apr–Jun): Cash flooding in, revenue still modest since batches are only beginning reflecting strong collections yet remaining the quietest quarter
Q2–Q3 (Jul–Dec): Revenue and EBITDA build steadily as batches are live
Q4 (Jan–Mar): Soft P&L, old batches winding down, new cycle just beginning

Full year is a better basis to look into PW, not any single quarter. Collections lead, revenue follows.

Q5 — Is the offline business becoming a key focus area for PW, and how is the segment performing?

Offline Segment: An Extension of the PW Online Ecosystem

PW remains an online-first, technology-led education company, with digital continuing to be the primary driver of scale, reach, and learner acquisition. More than 91% of our paid learners engage with us through online channels, and a meaningful portion of offline discovery is also enabled through our digital ecosystem and community reach.

Our offline business has not been built as a traditional standalone coaching network. Instead, it is designed as an extension of the PW ecosystem, integrating our technology, content, academic systems, and data capabilities into the classroom experience. The objective is to combine the scale and distribution advantages of online learning with the structure, engagement, and learning outcomes enabled through physical centres.

Offline segment contributes to 45% of the revenue from operations from its offline network of 353 centres across 178 cities in India and 6 cities in the UAE:

Category Centres as on 31^{st} March 2026 FY26 Enrolment Count (000s) Centres as on 31^{st} March 2025 FY25 Enrolment Count (000s)
PW Vidyapeeth Centres 139 256.6 79 180.1
PW Pathshala Centres 84 42.9 47 28.3
PW Other Centres 62 48.1 19 16.9
Total Subsidiaries Centres 68 119.8 53 100.3
Total 353 467.5 198 325.6

Our offline segment is in its fourth full year of operations, and the business is maturing well. The pace at which we have scaled our centre network is a reflection of the opportunity we see. The strongest validation of this approach is Vidyapeeth, which contributes ~70% of offline revenue and represents the most mature part of our offline network. Vidyapeeth made significant strides toward profitability this year, driven by stronger unit economics at the centre level. This is structural progress and not a one-off. It is the clearest signal that our offline model works. As the broader network catches up in maturity, we expect this improvement to replicate across centres.

We continue to improve unit economics through a focused operating playbook centred around a few important strategic levers that are as follows:

  1. Student Teacher Ratio: Since faculty allocation is done at a class/batch level, improved batch planning enhances faculty utilisation while maintaining learning quality. This also drives operating leverage through better payroll cost efficiency.
  2. Seat Utilisation: Better batch planning and student allocation improve classroom capacity utilisation, driving higher revenue while leveraging the same seating capacity within a centre
  3. Average Faculty Cost: A mix of senior faculty and teachers hired and trained through our Faculty Training Programme (FTP), supported by closely tracked faculty ratings, enables efficient scaling while maintaining teaching quality and improving payroll cost efficiency.
  4. ARPU, lifts revenue scale & leverage: Better course mix, longer-duration programmes, improved retention, and Vidyapeeth-specific value layers (test series, mentorship, hostels) are the cleanest indicator of pricing power at the centre level.

PW Q4 FY26

www.pw.live


P W

  1. Academic-to-Non-Academic Team Ratio: Process automation, workflow optimisation, and role consolidation improve team productivity and enable a leaner support structure. This drives better operating efficiency through optimized payroll and lower corporate overhead costs.

As these strategic levers improve, operating leverage naturally follows, driving higher revenue productivity while structurally lowering operating cost ratios.

Given the nature of the model, mature centres have demonstrated improving unit economics and a clear path towards profitability, although outcomes and timelines may vary across formats, geographies, and stages of centre maturity. Vidyapeeth provides us with a clear blueprint: as newer centres mature and move through a similar operating trajectory, we expect these learnings to translate across the wider offline network. This gives us confidence in a KPI-led and phased path towards profitability for the broader offline business.

Q6-What is the current enrolment mix across categories?

Enrolment Base: Deepening Breadth, Sustaining Scale

PW's enrolment base has diversified significantly over the last three years, reflecting our continued expansion across learner cohorts, exam formats, and educational categories. JEE and NEET, our earlier categories, contributed $54\%$ of online enrolments in FY23 and have grown $51\%$ in absolute terms since then. Yet their enrolment share has moderated to $29\%$ in FY26. This is not a story of slowing demand in these categories; it is a story of the rest of the portfolio growing faster.

The fastest-growing categories in FY26 were Boards, CA, Civil Services, Commerce, and Foundation, underscore our growing relevance across the full arc of a student's academic journey. Notably, our accelerating traction in school examination courses is building a loyal, early-stage learner base that we can serve across multiple years and multiple goals.

A detailed breakdown of category-wise online enrolments is presented below

Q7-What are your key engagement and monetization metrics?

Engagement data is our north star metric, telling the story of platform health: whether students are choosing PW, staying on PW, and deepening their relationship with PW over time. Quality drives trust, trust drives engagement, and engagement drives revenue. We obsess over the former to earn the latter.

AI-powered workflows have also scaled across the platform during the year, spanning doubt resolution, grading, and personalized learning with cumulative AI interactions crossing 100 million+ queries, reflecting growing adoption of AI-enabled learning experiences.

Q8 — What are the new initiatives that PW is working on?

Earners is one of our newer initiatives, focused on helping learners build practical, application-oriented skills and explore income generation opportunities using digital tools and smartphones.

Launched on April 11, 2026, with courses focused on emerging domains such as AI tools, content creation, video editing, graphic design, digital workflows, social media management, and communication skills, with a strong emphasis on accessibility and real-world applicability. The courses were also selected for listing on the National Skill Development Corporation's Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH), enabling us to reach a wider learner base.

The initiative aims to address the evolving needs of students through skill-based and outcome-oriented learning, with a strong focus on enhancing employability and aligning with changing workplace requirements.

As we scale this category, we plan to further expand the Earners course portfolio, offering a broader range of skill development programs to learners across Bharat.

PW Pi continued to demonstrate encouraging traction with ~102k cumulative orders and an ARR of ~₹9.5 Crore, the product is gaining meaningful scale, and more importantly, it is doing so with real engagement. PW partnered with Vodafone Idea to launch India's first telecom-edtech bundle, pairing a prepaid mobile plan with PW Pi Pro access across UP East and Rajasthan. This initiative reflects our conviction that the next wave of learners will be unlocked not just through better content, but through smarter, more accessible distribution.

PW Talks witnessed strong traction with ~2 million downloads and an ARR of ~₹8.5 Cr under a trial based recurring and long-term plans, alongside improving engagement and retention metrics. The platform continues to strengthen our presence in employability and communication-focused learning categories.

PW Impact Stories

Mohammad Suhail

img-26.jpeg

Mohammad Suhail drove an e-rikshaw in his hometown of Muzaffarnagar to support his family, putting his dreams on hold so his elder brother could go to college. He studied online during breaks and at night, unwilling to let his aspirations fade. A Hindi-medium student, he overcame language barriers to prepare in English and is now set to become his family's first doctor.

Harsh Vardhan Kumar

img-27.jpeg

Aspiring to join one of the IITs, Harsh was losing hope when he scored a 66 percentile in JEE Main Session 1. He switched his preparation strategy between sessions and took the advice of his PW Vidyapeeth teachers to heart. Studying 10-12 hours a day, he focused on conceptual clarity and practice instead of cramming formulas. With his teachers' guidance, he turned his weakest subjects, Maths and Organic Chemistry, into the foundation of his 99 percentile success.

Niyanshi Shukla

img-28.jpeg

16-year-old Niyanshi loved maths, but couldn't find a teacher in her village to guide her nor did she have the financial means to access specialized education in the city. Armed with her father's phone bought on EMI and the cheapest data pack, she studied online late into the night, preparing for the Regional Mathematics Olympiad that she qualified, becoming one of only 900 students across the country to do so.

Gagan

img-29.jpeg

Gagan hauled heavy gas cylinders for ₹350 a day to support his father's meager earnings. After backbreaking labor, he used his father's phone to study online, determined to realise his dream of becoming an engineer. His relentless focus helped him qualify the JEE Advanced exam in 2024, securing a seat at IIT BHU.

Anshika Goyal

img-30.jpeg

Despite the challenges of visual impairment and other health struggles, Anshika scored 92.6% in her Class 10 Boards. She used magnifying devices to study and PW's Power Batch to master concepts by listening to the videos and studying at her own pace. With her mother's relentless support, Anshika now aspires to become a doctor and hopes to inspire other students to believe in their potential regardless of the obstacles they face.

Gaurav Banka

img-31.jpeg

When Gaurav Banka lost his father at seven, childhood gave way to responsibility. While others played, he swept floors, cut thaan of cloth at a relative's shop, and took on odd jobs to survive. After moving to Bhiwani for better prospects, he balanced multiple jobs with late-night CA Wallah lectures. His persistence paid off when he secured Rank 1 in his district in the CA Intermediate exams.
