College search platform Collegedunia surpassed the Rs 200 crore revenue mark in 2024. The Gurugram-based company’s growth has been guided by strong collaborations with educational institutions and a focus on delivering useful resources and guidance to students.
Over the years, Collegedunia has teamed up with institutions like LPU, IILM, Amity, ICFAI, Parul, and Bennett University offering students access to crucial information and career counseling.
After crossing the Rs 200 crore revenue mark, Collegedunia is aiming to triple its revenue over the next five years, with a focus on global expansion, the company’s chief executive Sahil Chalana told Entrackr. “We also have plans to go public upon reaching Rs 600 crore in revenue,” he said.
As per startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Collegedunia reported Rs 192.23 crore in operating revenue in FY24. The company also turned profitable in FY24, with profits nearing Rs 5 crore.
For the uninitiated, Collegedunia is a bootstrapped startup founded in 2014. The group also includes 3.14, KickCash, and Prepp, which together offer services aimed at growth in ed-tech and digital marketing. 3.14, a performance-driven ad tech platform, supports brands in enhancing their marketing through data insights and currently counts Amazon, Flipkart, PhonePe, GoJek, and Walmart among its key clients.
Prepp, a platform designed to help government exam aspirants in India, has experienced significant growth. Over the past year, Prepp has gained traction among students preparing for exams like UPSC, SSC, and various state-level exams.
On the other hand, KickCash is a user acquisition app that rewards users for playing mobile games. It uses AI to suggest games, helping increase user engagement. As mobile gaming grows, KickCash is becoming a key player in rewarded gaming in India.
“To reach its Rs 600 crore revenue goal by 2029, the company is focusing on three key areas: expanding operations, advancing technology, and diversifying into new markets,” pointed out Chalana.
While large cities have been the primary focus, there is a growing demand for structured education guidance in smaller towns. Collegedunia now aims to reach the tier II and tier III markets by offering content and services designed for them.
Meanwhile, the company is working to help international students navigate college admissions and career opportunities globally. Launched in 2021, Collegedunia’s Study Abroad vertical has grown over 120% YoY. Initially focused on major destinations like the USA, UK, and Canada, it now covers more European countries. In 2024–25, it opened centres in Hyderabad, Delhi, Thane, Srinagar, and Kolkata, with more on the way.
As per the company, Collegedunia is expanding beyond college search to offer career advice, skill-building, and global education support.
