AITS (Affordable Innovative Techno Services), the parent company of Rysen School, a K–12 network with 15 campuses across Rajasthan, has raised $4 million in a Pre-Series A funding round. The round was led by Big Capital, Vietnam and Singapore-based Redbrook Fund, with participation from Sujeet Kumar (Co-Founder, Udaan), Ramakant Sharma (Founder, Livespace), and Roman Saini.
According to a statement, the capital will be deployed to expand the Rysen School campus network across high-growth emerging cities, strengthen technology-led learning infrastructure, and scale AITS’s standardised school operating model, built on an asset-light model, designed to deliver consistent student outcomes across geographies. The Pre-Series A capital will be deployed across three integrated growth pillars.
The first pillar is scaled campus expansion across emerging cities. AITS will expand the Rysen School network into high-growth Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets. The second is strengthening technology-led learning infrastructure. A significant portion of the investment will deepen AITS’s centralised learning ecosystem, including smart classrooms, coding and tinkering labs, blended learning tools, and academic analytics platforms. This infrastructure supports personalised learning pathways while ensuring consistency in instructional quality across the Rysen network.
The third pillar is faculty capability and outcome measurement. AITS will expand structured teacher development programmes, leadership pipelines, and academic performance tracking frameworks across Rysen campuses to ensure measurable improvements in student learning outcomes at scale.
“For decades, access to quality education in India has been determined by geography. At AITS, we set out to change that by building scalable systems that bring metro-level educational exposure to Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. This investment enables us to accelerate the expansion of the Rysen School network into high-growth markets where parental aspirations are rising but access to modern learning infrastructure remains limited. Our focus is on building institutions that combine strong academic outcomes with accessibility, ensuring that families outside major metros receive the same opportunities that were once limited to a few urban centres,” OP Godara, Co-Founder & Director, AITS, said in a statement

Kapil Arya, Co-Founder & Director, AITS, added that traditional schooling has largely focused on content delivery, often leaving students underprepared for real-world challenges. “At Rysen, our academic approach is built around application, exposure, and continuous skill development from the earliest years. Through structured programmes in coding, robotics, experiential learning, and concept-based instruction, we aim to create learning environments that move beyond memorisation and focus on understanding, creativity, and problem-solving,” he said in the statement.
“India’s next hundred million aspirational families live in cities that traditional education systems have long underserved. AITS’s founding team of IITians and doctors who chose to build for Bharat, not just metropolitan India, is executing against a structural need that we believe will define the next decade of education. Having witnessed similar transformations across Vietnam’s secondary cities over the past two decades, we see deep parallels in both demand and opportunity. AITS is building the kind of institution that expands access, not just infrastructure,” said Panjrath Preetinder, CFO, Big Capital, in the statement. Since its founding in 2023 and the operational launch of Rysen School in 2024, AITS has established 15 campuses across 9 cities, enrolled over 10,000 students, and built a curriculum aligned with NEP 2020. With this investment, AITS aims to reach 100,000 students across India within three years, with 100 new campuses expanding the Rysen footprint into new cities across emerging markets.
