About Us

DMC Education Limited is a BSE listed (BSE: 517973), Education company, providing training
for various entrance examinations. DMC plans to establish itself across India in the supplemental
education market.

The Strategy
DMC strategy for growth is built around a very scalable model that rests on the following pillars:

Specialized Content: Our self study courses help in time management, work measurement and
self assessment. Westland Books (www.westlandbooks.in), a Tata Trent subsidiary, has
partnered with us to publish "Power Coaching for IITJEE", India's 1st, highly successful, ‘Off
the shelf’ IITJEE Course.

Scalable delivery model: We have developed ‘content for classroom delivery’ to make the
teaching methodology independent of any single faculty. At any point in time, DMC can train
and deploy teachers from a wide pool of available instructors.

Product aggregation: DMC has brought multiple, successful brands under one umbrella. This
enables greater utilization of resources and hence profitability of the centers. Such an
aggregation strategy will allow greater penetration to every corner of India.

Technology: Successfully exploiting technology for delivering coaching to students in remote


areas.

• HughesNet (www.hughes.in): We deliver IITJEE/AIEEE Coaching (lectures and course


material) to students at remote areas using VSAT backbone of HughesNet. We achieve
the education objectives with a blend of interactive lectures, real time query handling, online
testing, telephonic counseling/feedback, and physical course material.

• Online tutoring/content platform: Students use this for online tutoring, online testing,
recorded video lectures, and interaction with the student community having similar career
aspirations.
The Market

The market for supplemental education (test preparation and vocational training) is estimated to
be Rs. 50,000 Crore. This market is growing at 25% YOY and due to the following reasons the
growth is expected to be healthy

• School / Colleges not able to cope with the changing requirement of fundamental career skills

• Emergence of specialized careers and growing demand of existing careers

• Online technology to distribute content remotely increases the scope of such market

• Growing middle class in India willing to spend on education (estimated to be 35% of net
income)

The Business Model


DMC is focused on coaching and content development for ‘Test Preparation’ and ‘Career' skills
for student. It delivers this content through physical and online channels. Big brands are
successful only in metros and towns having a population of at least 10 lakh residents.

The company goal is to become a market leader in the segments it operates in, within the next 3
years, through the following:

1. Interactive Remote classrooms: ‘Real time’ classes across India at locations that don’t have
good local coaching for entrance exams. Students can attend high quality classes from
specialists, while being physically away. The centers will be connected with a 512 Kbps link.

2. Online tests and content: Entire postal coaching market will migrate to online learning
platform, enriched with recorded lectures, online testing and interactive learning systems.

3. Direct to School: DMC intends to tie up with various schools and offer courses to
students within the school premises.
