Newton School

What Newton School does

Newton School (legal entity: Incanus Technologies Private Limited) is an India-based edtech company founded in 2019 by IIT Roorkee alumni Siddharth Maheshwari and Nishant Chandra. The company delivers outcome-oriented technology training through online certificate programs in Data Science & AI (14 months), Full Stack Development (6-8 months), and Applied Agentic & GenAI Systems (4 months), as well as an on-campus 4-year B.Tech in Computer Science & AI through Newton School of Technology (NST), with campuses in Bengaluru, Pune, and Delhi NCR. The B.Tech program holds UGC and NSDC approval. Its primary customer segments are working tech professionals seeking upskilling, non-tech professionals pursuing career transitions, fresh graduates, and Class 12 students entering undergraduate study, with an additional B2G layer via the Government of Goa partnership.

The platform is built around an AI-driven learning stack that includes an AI-based IDE with real-time coding support, AI-powered mock interviews with automated evaluation, an AI Resume Evaluator, AI Tryouts, and the standalone Koyō AI Interviewer product for enterprise recruiters. Content is delivered via live cohorts with 1,200+ industry experts (including MAANG engineers) as instructors, supplemented by free resources such as a Playground with 20+ compilers, Launchpad courses, and CodeRush competitive programming contests, plus a 10,000+ question Arena. As of FY25, the platform reported 2.1 million+ users engaged, 15,000+ enrolled students, 4,500+ students placed, and a network of 800+ hiring partners including Amazon, Meta, Google, and Microsoft.

Newton School's revenue model is primarily course-fee-based, monetized through EMI subscriptions starting at Rs 5,000/month with scholarships available, plus cancellation/foreclosure charges. Distribution combines self-serve website enrollment, academic counselor-led inside sales (Siddhi Kirtania noted as Head Academic Counsellor), on-campus admissions via the NSAT exam, free community/PLG tools, and a flagship MoU with the Government of Goa to train 10,000 Goans. FY25 revenue was Rs 38.86 crore (61% YoY growth) with losses narrowing 40% to Rs 29.66 crore. Total disclosed funding is approximately $30.8 million across rounds from 2019 to 2022 (Seed through Series B led by Steadview Capital), with a March 2026 Series B1 extension at a Rs 1,055 crore (~$117 million) valuation.

Direct peers

• Scaler Academy: Scaler (by InterviewBit) offers online, placement-focused upskilling programs in software development and data science aimed at working professionals and graduates in India — directly comparable to Newton School's certificate and AI programs.
• upGrad: upGrad runs online professional certificate and degree programs in data, tech and management with university partnerships across India, mirroring Newton School's online-plus-degree hybrid model and target learner segments.
• NxtWave: NxtWave (CCBP) provides industry-aligned full stack and AI/ML programs for Indian students with placement assistance, competing for the same tech-aspirant cohort that Newton School serves.
• Masai School: Masai School offers outcome-based, income-share-agreement-style software development programs in India targeting career switchers and graduates — overlapping with Newton School's tech career transition and placement positioning.
• Coding Ninjas: Coding Ninjas delivers online coding bootcamps and certificate courses in data science, full stack and AI for Indian students and professionals, directly competing for Newton School's core learner base.
• DataCamp: DataCamp is a subscription-based online platform for data science, AI and Python upskilling with employer partnerships — a comparable model to Newton School's data science certificate program, though operating globally rather than India-only.
• Springboard: Springboard offers mentor-led, online AI, data science and software engineering career tracks with job guarantees — closely comparable to Newton School's mentor-led, placement-assisted certificate programs.

Broad incumbents

• Unacademy: Unacademy is a larger Indian edtech incumbent spanning K-12, test prep and professional learning; its tech and programming categories overlap with Newton School, but it competes as a broader learning marketplace rather than a placement-specialist.
• PhysicsWallah (PW): PhysicsWallah is a large Indian edtech incumbent that has expanded from test prep into upskilling and tech programs; its scale and price-disciplined brand make it a broad incumbent competitor, and a notable investor signal as Prateek Boob invested in Newton School's Series B1 extension.
• Coursera: Coursera is a global MOOC and credentialing platform partnering with universities and tech companies to offer online certificates in data, AI and software — competes broadly with Newton School's professional certificate programs but at much larger scale.
