Companies that don't catch many eyeballs or seem flashy are often the ones making money. Avanse Financial Services Ltd. filed its DRHP last week for a 23,500 Cr IPO. It is an education-focused NBFC that provides hyper-personalized education financing to both students and institutions. Key Highlights: -> Operating revenue jumped 74.5% to 21,727Cr. -> Net profit for FY 23-24 was ?342.4 Cr, double the previous year. →> Warburg Pincus holds a majority share ~80%. -> Second-highest PAT among education-focused NBFCS. -> By the end of FY24, the company plans to have an AUM of $13,303 Cr. The major portion of this segment is either acquired by NBCs or traditional banks. Is there still an opportunity for platforms like Leap or GrayQuest to acquire a significant share in the market?

With NBFCs and banks dominating, it'll be tough for platforms like Leap or GrayQuest to grab significant market share. They might be acquisition targets instead.

But can Avanse compete with the tech-savvy platforms like Leap or GrayQuest in the long run? Traditional NBFCs might struggle to keep up with innovation.
