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

𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐀𝐈 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬? Professor Rajendra Srivastava shares insights with Financial Express (India) (link in comments) "AI won’t replace consultants, but it will replace those who resist retooling their mental models. Along with my colleagues, I developed a framework called 𝐓𝐲𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬 to demonstrate how the greater danger to organisational productivity is not the emergence of new technologies, but managers locked into bureaucratic or frozen ways of thinking." What this means for aspiring management consultants? 👉 Let AI handle the “mundane” while consultants master the “high value.” This includes judgment under uncertainty, ecosystem design, and leveraging AI outputs for narrative strategy. 👉Indian B-school graduates entering consulting jobs can leverage AI for research, but it is their ability to frame insights aligned with the aspirations of growth-hungry Indian companies that creates real differentiation.
