What they do

PhysicsWallah invested ₹1.5 crore in Kay Lifestyle and Wellness, raising its stake to 41.18%

What happened

The investment is part of a multi-tranche deal that could take ownership to 50%

Why it matters

Kay Lifestyle operates under Kamya Yoga & Wellness, offering yoga, meditation, and nutrition programmes

The details

  • PhysicsWallah invested ₹1.5 crore in Kay Lifestyle and Wellness, which runs Kamya Yoga & Wellness.
  • The investment bought 300 Series Seed CCPS (compulsorily convertible preference shares, a type of shares that convert to equity later).
  • This second tranche raised PhysicsWallah's stake to 41.18% on a fully diluted basis (considering all possible shares).
  • The board of PhysicsWallah approved the investment on 5 February 2026.
  • PhysicsWallah had signed a shareholders' agreement and a subscription agreement with Kay Lifestyle on 15 April 2025, committing to a multi-tranche investment.
  • In the first tranche, PhysicsWallah acquired one equity share and 399 Series Seed CCPS.
  • PhysicsWallah can subscribe to up to 999 CCPS in total, potentially raising its ownership to 50%.
  • The proposed investment is expected to be completed within one year.

The bigger picture

  • This is a strategic move by PhysicsWallah to expand into the wellness and yoga segment.
  • The multi-tranche structure shows a phased investment approach to manage risk.
  • Kay Lifestyle's small turnover of ₹1.17 crore (for the period ended 31 Dec 2025) indicates an early-stage bet.
  • The potential to reach 50% ownership gives PhysicsWallah significant control.

About the business

  • PhysicsWallah is an edtech platform offering courses for competitive exams like JEE and NEET.
  • It provides online video lectures, test series, and doubt-solving.
  • The company operates through its app and website, with a large student base.
  • It also has offline coaching centers in multiple cities.
  • Revenue is generated through course fees and test series subscriptions.

What happens next

  • PhysicsWallah plans to complete the proposed investment within one year.
  • It may subscribe to additional CCPS to increase its stake to 50%.
