5 EdTech Companies Disrupting Education in 2025

India's education system is going through a seismic shift, and at the helm are a new generation of EdTech firms that aren't merely bringing classrooms online, but recasting the learning experience as a whole. From AI-based personalisation to micro-credentialing and immersive learning environments, these companies are redefining how, where, and why one learns.

A Forbes report recently announced that India's EdTech market is expected to grow to over $10.4 billion by 2025, fuelled by more than 37 million paid Edtech users. EdTech has grown from a supplemental aid to a robust learning infrastructure, and it is fascinating educators, institutions, and investors worldwide.

In this article, we spotlight five EdTech companies (names redacted for editorial neutrality) that are rewriting the rules of education in 2025—each in its own unique, disruptive way.

AASOKA

AASOKA is becoming one of the most disruptive incumbents in education by growing from 300 schools in 2022 to now over 4,000 partner schools—affecting 9.5 lakh students and 80,000 teachers, and generating over ₹100 crore in revenue within four years. TIME and Statista has recognised it as the world's number one EdTech Rising Star in 2025.  The company is actively disrupting education and learning with its screenless coding kits, AI Powered STEAM labs, and inclusive, curriculum-aligned teaching pedagogy. With roots across India and growing footprints in South Africa and the Middle East, the platform combines purpose with practicality, providing a full ecosystem to empower the students, support the teachers and link the school leaders and community (parents). As it works to achieve its new target of 20,000 schools in the next 3 years, the ambitions of the platform are not just national but global.

Zamit

Zamit is redefining what it means to prepare students—and educators—for the future. This UK-based edtech platform builds essential 21st-century skills through its Nine Dimensions of Future Readiness framework, aligned with India’s NEP 2020. From skill-based scholarships and AI-driven student portfolios to language programs and real-world internships, Zamit helps learners grow as independent thinkers and confident problem-solvers. Its impact extends to educators through the iTERM Programme—a 130-hour CPD-certified initiative mapped to the UK’s Regulated Qualifications Framework. Focused on over 80 teaching excellence skills, it uses Zamit’s unique M-I-M (Measure, Improve, Monitor) model to upskill teachers for future-ready classrooms.
