Varthana Finance has entered into a five-year strategic partnership with the All India Private School Association (AIPSA) to expand access to structured financial solutions for private schools across India.

Under the agreement, Varthana Finance becomes an official partner of AIPSA, a national body representing private schools. The collaboration will enable closer engagement with school leaders and support member institutions with education-focused financing solutions.

AIPSA is engaged in policy advocacy, institutional strengthening, leadership support and strategic partnerships aimed at improving educational standards nationwide. Through this partnership, AIPSA member schools will gain access to financing support for infrastructure development and institutional growth.

Varthana Finance, headquartered in Bengaluru, has been working with K–12 schools for over 13 years. Since its inception in 2013, the non-banking financial company has supported more than 13,000 schools across 16 states and Union Territories. The organisation provides loans to help schools upgrade infrastructure, expand facilities and improve operations.

Adv. Shiju Augustine, Managing Director of AIPSA, said the association continues to onboard partners that strengthen the operational and infrastructure capacity of private schools. He stated that the collaboration with Varthana reflects AIPSA’s focus on enabling sustainable growth and long-term stability for its member institutions.

Vikas Jain, Head – Alliances at Varthana Finance, said private schools play a significant role in expanding access to education across the country. He added that loans under the arrangement would support the construction of classrooms, laboratories and sanitation facilities, and help schools strengthen infrastructure and learning environments.

Varthana Finance operates through 32 branches and 150 spokes across 16 states and Union Territories. In addition to supporting affordable private schools, the company provides loans to students pursuing higher education, technical training and postgraduate studies. It aims to make education accessible to over 10 million students by 2026.
