  • However in February 2020, the sale hit a roadblock as one investor refused to sell a stake to Career Point and restricted “IL&FS” from concluding the sale of the education business. The “IL&FS” Group sold a 73.69% stake in its education business, held under “Schoolnet India” Ltd. (SIL), to “Falafal Technologies Pvt. Ltd.” (FTPL) during the same time period.
  • Currently, Career Point has “Plancess Education” under its umbrella for its Ed-tech solutions. The firm acquired the company in early 2019.

COVID Impact on Career Point: Though the immediate impact appeared to be negative on some of the business units mainly due to closure of physical study centers/campuses, the management took a quick decision. The company leveraged its technical solutions from the acquisition of “Plancess Education” in 2019 to deliver uninterrupted classes and lectures to its students in online mode during the pandemic. Career Point launched their e-learning project – eCareerPoint App– in midst of the crisis. Very quickly, Career Point achieved its top position in online coaching among other Kota coaching institutes.
