In a landmark move signaling growing investor confidence in India’s booming edtech and commerce education sector, Ace investor Sunil Singhania’s Family Office has made a strategic pre-IPO investment in SPC (Swapnil Patni’s Classes) — one of India’s most prominent and profitable CA and commerce coaching brands. The investment values SPC at a robust INR 240 crores, marking a significant milestone in its journey toward an anticipated initial public offering (IPO).
A Strategic Bet on India’s Education Revolution
SPC, founded in 2008 by CA Swapnil Patni (CA, CS, LLB, B.Com), has evolved from a modest coaching initiative into a national education powerhouse. With a vision rooted in quality, innovation, and accessibility, Swapnil Patni Classes today serves over 3 lakh learners across 1,800+ pin codes, operates with 150+ franchise partners, and runs both online and offline programs through its proprietary OTT learning platform.
The partnership with Mr. Sunil Singhania, Founder of Abakkus Asset Manager, underscores deep institutional faith in SPC’s growth trajectory, scalability, and readiness for public markets. Mr. Singhania will serve as Lead Investor and Strategic Partner, bringing in both capital and invaluable mentorship.
“Swapnil Patni Classes is a growing and committed company led by a proud and visionary founder, Swapnil Patni. I see massive growth potential in SPC and a strong purpose to transform education through innovation and technology,” said Mr. Sunil Singhania, sharing his optimism about the company’s future.
SPC’s Next Leap — From Vision to IPO
The pre-IPO infusion marks the start of Swapnil Patni Classes’ next phase — a phase aimed at national expansion, technology-led transformation, and institutional readiness. According to company insiders, the move is not just about funding but about strategic alignment, paving the way for SPC’s upcoming IPO, which is expected to “unlock greater scale and value for investors.”
CA Swapnil Patni, the company’s dynamic founder and driving force, welcomed the partnership with enthusiasm:
“We’re honored to welcome Sunil Singhania Sir. His guidance will accelerate Swapnil Patni Classes’ next phase of growth and innovation in the education space. His backing will be a complete game-changer,” he said, adding that students will benefit from “access to unmatched quality education in the commerce domain.”
The transaction was facilitated by Hem Securities, a reputed full-service investment banking firm known for its strong credentials in merchant banking, SME IPOs, and M&A advisory.
SPC’s Impact — Pioneering Excellence in Commerce Education
Over its 17-year journey, Swapnil Patni Classes has become synonymous with excellence in commerce education, having produced more than 600 All India Rankers, including nine AIR 1 achievers. Beyond academic results, Swapnil Patni Classes is known for introducing India’s first CA Residential Campus — SPC Gurukul in Pune — an integrated facility that blends academic rigor with mentorship, leadership training, and holistic student development.
The institution’s expansion into digital and residential learning ecosystems has placed it at the forefront of educational innovation, combining technology, creativity, and discipline. Patni’s leadership has redefined the boundaries of commerce education in India, steering SPC into a diversified and sustainable growth model.
A Bold Mission for the Future
With its eyes firmly set on the future, SPC’s mission is unapologetically ambitious: to capture every major commerce learning segment and redefine the future of commerce education in India. The pre-IPO investment by one of India’s most respected investors not only validates this vision but also strengthens Swapnil Patni Classes’ positioning as a frontrunner in India’s education revolution.
As SPC enters this pivotal phase, all eyes are now on its upcoming IPO — a move expected to transform the face of private education investments in India.
