Leverage Edu is helping students reroute their study-abroad dreams due to visa crackdowns and diplomatic tensions, doubling revenue and expanding globally. Amid uncertainties in international college admissions, Leverage responds by assisting students in identifying alternative destinations quickly, salvaging student pipelines in regions like Germany, Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia.

The startup has seen sharp growth, turning profitable and closing fiscal year 2025 with over ₹1.8 billion in revenue, doubling from the previous year. Leverage generates revenue from platform businesses supporting students beyond admissions and core education services, with India as its largest source market and the U.K. as its largest market for student placements.

Founder and CEO Akshay Chaturvedi mentions that Leverage is considering a potential IPO in India as early as next year, with investment bankers already making early pitches. With a growing global footprint and rising revenues, Leverage is aiming to hit the $100 million revenue milestone in 2026 before deciding between an IPO or raising external capital.
