AlephYa Education (“AlephYa” or “Company”), a leading pan-GCC education provider, today announced a majority investment from TA Associates (“TA”), a leading global private equity firm, to support its next phase of growth.

“Since AlephYa’s founding only seven years ago, the Company has established a strong, diversified platform driven by an impressive track record of M&A and operational excellence. As experienced investors in the education space, we see great potential for AlephYa’s continued expansion, both organically and through strategic acquisitions,” said Dhiraj Poddar, Managing Director at TA. “We are thrilled to partner with the AlephYa team to achieve further scale and bring high-quality, affordable education to more communities across the GCC,” added Vishal Gupta, Director at TA.
“TA shares our commitment to academic excellence, and their investment provides a major opportunity to enhance our educational infrastructure, improve our facilities and increase our impact on new and existing students,” said Shailesh Doshi, CEO and Co-Founder of AlephYa. “We are excited to welcome TA as an investor and look forward to leveraging their deep expertise in scaling companies to reach our full potential,” added Nadeem Masud and Chandra Tiwari, Co-Founders of AlephYa.
“Since investing in the Company in 2017, it has been a privilege to significantly scale AlephYa working alongside Ominvest and GIC during a period of such transformational growth,” commented Ibrahim Assem, Head of Private Equity, MENA at Ashmore Group plc. “We wish AlephYa and its shareholders the best as they solidify its position as one of the largest school groups in the region,” added Kartik Patel, Head of Alternatives at Ashmore Investment Saudi Arabia.
“We believe AlephYa is well-positioned to sustain its rapid growth as the demand for accessible, high-quality education continues to increase across the GCC. This transaction is part of GIC’s strategy to partner with leading global firms and we look forward to the next chapter ahead in partnership with TA,” said Mohammad Al-Fares, Head of Diversified Projects Division at GIC.
“We are pleased to welcome TA as a fellow investor in AlephYa. As knowledgeable investors in the education sector, we are confident TA’s partnership will enable us to enhance AlephYa’s offering and further strengthen its footprint. This investment is aligned with Ominvest’s Purpose Statement of transforming businesses to enrich societies,” commented Badar Al Shanfari, Chief investment Officer (Private Equity) at Ominvest.
