Jaro Education IPO Lists Flat Despite Strong Investor Demand; Share Price Falls Over 17%

Jaro Education, a prominent edtech company, made its stock market debut at ₹890 on September 30, 2025, listing flat on both NSE and BSE. Despite the IPO receiving an overwhelming investor response, the stock saw no initial gains, reflecting cautious sentiment around valuation.

Jaro Education Sees High IPO Demand but Opens Without Flat 

The ₹450 crore IPO of Jaro Education included a fresh issue of ₹170 crore and an offer-for-sale worth ₹280 crore. Investor enthusiasm was visible in subscription numbers: QIBs applied 37 times, NIIs 37.3 times, and retail investors 9.1 times their allotted quota. Ahead of the issue, the company secured ₹135 crore through anchor investors. Despite this strong backing, the shares listed at the IPO price, suggesting valuation scepticism in the market.

Robust Business Model and Financial Performance

Jaro Education positions itself as a higher education and upskilling platform with 268 academic programmes in partnership with 36 institutions. It integrates digital delivery with in-centre learning, operating 22 learning centres and 17 immersive classrooms at IIMs. In FY25, the company posted a revenue of ₹254 crore and a net profit of ₹51.7 crore, indicating a PAT margin above 20% and return on equity at 35.8%.

Valuation Concerns Overshadow Strong Fundamentals

While fundamentals appear solid, the IPO valuation at a P/E multiple of 38x has raised questions among market participants. This pricing indicates that future growth expectations may already be factored into the issue, possibly limiting near-term upside for investors immediately post-listing.

Post-Listing Watch Points for Investors

Going forward, key areas to monitor include Jaro’s scalability, especially in its hybrid model, its strategy to manage rising competition in India’s evolving edtech landscape, and efficiency in the use of IPO proceeds, particularly for branding and debt reduction.

Jaro Institute of Technology Management and Research Share Price Performance

On September 30, 2025, Jaro Institute of Technology Management and Research share price opened at ₹890.00 on BSE. During the day, it surged to ₹890.00 and dipped to ₹737.90. The stock is trading at ₹738.55 as of 10:31 AM. The stock registered a significant decline of 17.02%.

Conclusion

Although Jaro Education attracted robust interest during its IPO phase and boasts strong performance metrics, its flat listing at ₹890 indicates investor caution. Its ability to sustain earnings, expand programme offerings, and remain competitive will be crucial in retaining investor confidence moving ahead.
