Leap, which runs LeapScholar, LeapFinance, GeeBee and Yocket, is a full-stack international student mobility platform. The company offers an array of products to cover including international test prep like IELTS, TOEFL, SAT, others, admissions and visa counselling as well as financial offerings like international student loans.

One-stop approach

Vaibhav Singh, Co-Founder of Leap, said, “Students love Leap’s one-stop approach to their international education needs. We have witnessed 5x growth since our Series D two years ago. Today Leap is not only the study abroad platform of choice in India, but is fast establishing itself as a global leader with scaling operations in 10-plus countries. Building for the world from India is something we are very proud of. This investment from marquee investors further bolsters our ambitions and we are even more committed to our mission of democratising access to quality global education.”

Since its inception, Leap has led to over 1 million students served and partnerships with 1000+ leading educational institutions globally, the company claimed.

Matteo Stefanel, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Apis Partners, commented, “We are thrilled to partner with Leap and to support its transformative approach to global education. Leap is using technology to not only help students find and access the right educational opportunities but also equip them with the tools to succeed. As such, we believe Leap’s mission aligns closely with Apis’ commitment to driving financial inclusion.”
