PhysicsWallah (PW) has announced that it has partnered with Knowledge Planet to maximise its reach among students in the middle east and north Africa (MENA) region.

PhysicsWallah claims that it has established a stronghold in India with an all-encompassing set of offerings for students through online, offline and hybrid coaching whereas Knowledge Planet has shown a consistent track record of JEE/NEET test preparations over the past 16 years.

Founded in 2011 by Monika Oli and Sachin Bharti Gupta, Knowledge Planet will benefit from PW’s tech stack to empower its online and hybrid offerings. Knowledge Planets has reportedly been giving consistent results and academic success in the MENA region and now combined with PW's pedagogy and popularity among the Indian diaspora, it aims to hold itself in great stead. 

In the Middle East, Knowledge Planet shall become a gateway to PW for offering 1:1 STEM courses and SAT preparation for students looking towards the West for higher education. This partnership will unlock a more than $250 million market of offline test preparation in JEE/NEET for the region’s Indian diaspora. The partnership was overseen by IndusLaw who acted as legal advisor to PW, said the company (PW).

 “We are elated to announce our very first international partnership in the UAE. With 13 centers operating across the Middle East and a well-established school partnership model, Knowledge Planet, the most trusted exam preparation network, is the perfect brand to champion our foray into this promising market," said Prateek Maheshwari, co-founder of PW.

“Knowledge Planet has been on a mission to provide excellent higher education opportunities to Indian ex-pats in the Middle East through in-depth training to help them succeed. We are well-aligned with Alakh Pandey’s vision to offer high-quality education at scale in the Middle East. Our combined expertise will be able to add immense value to the test prep segment in UAE,” added Sachin Bharti, founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of Knowledge Planet.

“Knowledge Planet’s partnership with PhysicsWallah will help leverage their combined strengths and capabilities across online and classroom coaching to deliver quality education, at scale, across the Middle East region,” observed Ajay Shah from Ernst and Young (Transaction Advisory). 

With Knowledge Planet’s partnership model, PW will be able to expand the reach of its existing batch offerings to the students of the MENA region. PhysicsWallah is also looking to expand beyond the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to countries such as Saudi Arabia, Oman and Qatar through its seat at KP.
