Google-backed edtech firm Cuemath grew at a rapid clip during FY21 and FY22
as its scale soared over 6X to Rs 148.05 crore in FY22 from Rs 24.43 crore in
FY20. However, losses of the Bengaluru-based company widened 3.9X during
the same period.
Cuemath’s operating revenue grew 63.1% to Rs 148.05 crore in FY22 from Rs
90.77 crore in FY21, according to the company’s annual financial report with
the Registrar of Companies (RoC).
Cuemath provides Math classes for the K-12 segment and helps students
prepare for school and competitive tests. Income from teaching services was a
substantial source of collection accounting for 89.5% of the total operating
revenue. This income grew 2X to Rs 132.45 crore in FY22 from Rs 64.4 crore in
FY21.
Franchisee and teacher’s onboarding fees shrank 37% and 56.3% to Rs 12.92 crore and
Rs 2.42 crore respectively in FY22. Cuemath also added Rs 26 lakh from the sale of
books to the total collections.
Cuemath recorded another Rs 18.43 crore and Rs 8.22 crore on IT and telephone
postage which steered its overall expenditure by 64.7% to Rs 369.5 crore in FY22 from
Rs 224.3 crore in FY21.
Outpacing its revenue growth, Cuemath’s losses increased 66% to Rs 216.6 crore in
FY22 from Rs 130.7 crore in FY21. Cuemath spent Rs 2.5 to earn a single unit of
operating revenue. Huge cash burn worsened its EBITDA margin to -139.5% during
FY22.
Edtech platform Cuemath has raised $57 million in its Series C round led by
Alpha Wave last year. With this, the startup has raised $126 million to date at a
post-money valuation of $400 million.
Like almost every edtech in India, Cuemath is increasingly chasing a global
footprint to find the answers to its own future. The problem with that model is
stickier than usual costs and now, the risks from AI driven tools that threaten
some aspects of the market as well. With the firm offering a hybrid model
instead of pure online classes, it has a large potential market to address.
