Revenue model

1. Executive Education Programs (Paid): Jaro Education earns revenue by facilitating enrollment in paid executive education and certificate programs offered by partner institutions such as IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Kozhikode, XLRI Jamshedpur, and IIT Delhi. Tuition fees vary by program (e.g., INR 4,50,000 for IIT Delhi EV Diploma, INR 3,50,000 for IIM Ahmedabad Digital Marketing, INR 2,00,000 for IIM Kozhikode Gen AI Programme). Revenue is transaction-based per enrolled student, typically collected via installments and passed through to partner institutions with Jaro retaining a service fee.
2. Online Degree Programs (UG/PG): Revenue generated from facilitating admission and learner support for online undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs (Online MBA, BBA, BCA, M.Sc, etc.) through partnerships with Symbiosis International University, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeeth, Manipal University Jaipur, Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, and others. Fee structures range from INR 1,20,000 to INR 3,70,000 for the full program duration, collected via semester-wise or installment payments.
3. Freemium Courses (Lead Generation): Jaro Education offers a range of free industry-relevant certificate courses (Mastering Product Management, AI for Business Leaders, Business Statistics, SQL Essentials, Microsoft Excel, etc.) that serve as top-of-funnel lead generation tools. While free to access, these courses drive conversion to paid programs. Revenue from this stream is indirect — captured through enrolled students transitioning to fee-bearing executive and degree programs.
4. Blended / Hybrid Programs: Revenue from blended MBA and executive programs combining live online sessions with periodic campus immersion modules (e.g., IIM Nagpur Blended MBA, IIM Ahmedabad Financial Reporting Programme). These programs command premium pricing and involve coordination between Jaro's technology platform and partner institutions' physical campuses.
