Homegrown ed-tech unicorn PhysicsWallah continues its remarkable growth trajectory by expanding its offline footprint to over 150 Vidyapeeth and Pathshala centres across 20 states in India. This milestone comes as the platform gears up for the academic year 2025-26, with the addition of 30 new centres in cities like Dibrugarh, Chennai, and Udaipur. Notably, Chennai marks PhysicsWallah’s first offline centre in Tamil Nadu.
Among the 150 centres, around 10 offer the Vidyapeeth Residential Programme (VPRP), designed to provide holistic support for NEET and JEE aspirants. This programme, which combines top-tier coaching with residential facilities, has been expanded from 3-4 cities to 10, addressing the growing demand for specialised education. As per the company’s website, PhysicsWallah’s offline network now caters to students in more than 100 cities nationwide.
PhysicsWallah’s educational offerings include two core formats: Vidyapeeth, which encompasses fully offline centres, and Pathshala, a hybrid model blending online and offline learning. Both formats focus on equipping students for competitive exams such as JEE and NEET, maintaining the platform’s reputation as a leader in affordable, high-quality education.
Speaking at an annual event in Kota, Alakh Pandey, founder and CEO of PhysicsWallah, announced a 30% discount on all offline batches for the 2025-26 academic year, available until January 20, 2025. Pandey also reiterated the company’s commitment to affordability, confirming that all courses would remain priced below ₹5,000 in 2026.

As PhysicsWallah prepares for an initial public offering (IPO) later this year, it aims to raise $500 million at a valuation of $5 billion, a move poised to solidify its status as India’s first publicly listed ed-tech company. The announcement follows a successful funding round in September 2024, where the platform secured $210 million at a $2.8 billion valuation.
Founded in 2020 by Alakh Pandey and Prateek Maheshwari, PhysicsWallah began as a YouTube channel and has since evolved into a comprehensive education platform with backing from prominent investors like Hornbill Capital, Lightspeed Ventures, Westbridge, and GSV Ventures.
