Inside Gurgaon’s private equity-backed schools: Why firms are investing and how classrooms are changing | Delhi News

In 2024, two private equity (PE) and venture capital veterans — Piyush Gupta and Norbert Fernandes — set out to build a new investment firm, Kenro Capital, at a time when artificial intelligence (AI) had become the industry’s most overused buzzword. They started with a quieter, almost philosophical question that has been echoing through boardrooms and venture circles as AI accelerates its reach: In a rapidly changing AI-driven world, what are the things that will not change? The premise was not that AI would reshape everything — but that it would come close. The real challenge was identifying the rare corners of life that would remain stubbornly human. “One answer that stood out was high-touch businesses like schools. People will always send their children to schools,” Fernandes says. With this conviction, Kenro Capital invested roughly Rs 340 crore in K12 Techno Services Private Limited at the end of 2024, best known for its flagship chain, Orchids: The International School. And Kenro Capital is not alone in making that bet. Across India, private equity firms are …

Around 6 km from the bustling DLF Cyberhub in Gurgaon’s Sector 23A. Here, residents wake up daily to an unpleasant sight — and smell. The area around their homes, which have come up in Carterpuri village, is littered with garbage. The residents of plots that cost Rs 3 crore or more cannot escape the stench — especially when the wind blows. The area where the housing colony is located is among the 186 “garbage vulnerable points” identified by the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) — locations where waste is consistently dumped but is rarely collected. Last month, as part of the enforcement of the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026 — which came into effect on April 1 — the MCG had asked Sector 23A to register as a bulk waste generator (BWG). Under these Rules, BWGs are required to process wet waste on the premises and ensure the collection, segregation, and transportation of solid waste — either independently or through empanelled agencies — to secondary collection points. But residents have resisted the move, arguing that …

To tackle pollution, MCG has also requested Rs 291 crore from CAQM. This comprises Rs 285 crore as a 50 per cent grant towards …
