IPO-bound PW (PhysicsWallah) has acquired a 40% stake in Delhi-based UPSC coaching institute SarrthiIAS, valuing the company at around ₹250 Cr, according to reports. The deal is expected to strengthen PW’s presence in the civil services test prep segment by integrating its tech infrastructure with Sarrthi’s coaching and mentorship offerings. Founded in 2023 by IIT Roorkee alumnus Varun Jain, Sarrthi IAS provides UPSC coaching, personalised mentorship, and operates both an app and an offline centre in Delhi. Its courses are priced between ₹18,000 and ₹27,000. This move comes as PW prepares for its upcoming IPO, valued at an estimated $3.7 Bn, after recently securing SEBI’s nod. The company confidentially filed for its public listing in March 2025, with a likely issue size of around ₹4,600 Cr. #physicsWallah #acquires #sarrthiIAS #upscPrep #civilServices #startupUpdates #startupro
