Jaro Education on Monday announced the renewal of its exclusive partnership with the Symbiosis School for Online and Digital Learning (SSODL), a constituent of Symbiosis International (Deemed University) (SIU), for distance and online learning education.
Under the renewed agreement, the collaboration has been extended by five years, following the successful completion of the initial three-year term that began in February 2023. The renewal underscores the strategic importance of the partnership, reflecting sustained learner demand, strong institutional alignment, and deep trust between the two organisations. Jaro Education will continue to support student counselling and acquisition for academic programmes offered by SSODL across India.
Founded in 2009, Jaro Education has built long-term partnerships with over 36 premier Indian and global institutions, including leading IIMs, IITs and top NIRF-ranked universities such as SIU. The company acts as a bridge between academic institutions and learners, supporting the entire programme lifecycle from admissions and learner outreach to delivery enablement across online and hybrid formats. Jaro currently offers a portfolio of more than 268 programmes and has supported over 350,000 learners through its asset-light, technology-enabled operating model.
Symbiosis International (Deemed University) is among India’s most recognised multidisciplinary universities, offering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across management, technology, economics, data science and media studies, and is known for its academic rigour and industry-aligned curriculum.
As part of the renewed arrangement, Jaro Education will continue to provide admissions-related services for a wide range of Symbiosis programmes, including MBA, BBA, BCA, MSc (Computer Applications), MSc (Data Science), BSc (Economics) Honours, MSc (Economics), MA (Mass Communication), along with newly added programmes MSc (Applied Statistics) and MA (International Studies).
The collaboration has emerged as one of Jaro Education’s top three institutional partnerships, generating a gross fee value of approximately ?450 crore over the past three years, highlighting strong learner demand and revenue visibility. The renewal is expected to further strengthen multi-year revenue visibility, enhance scalability and operating leverage, deepen Jaro’s presence in the higher education degree segment, and support sustainable long-term growth.
Commenting on the renewal, Sanjay Salunkhe, Chairman and Managing Director of Jaro Education, said the partnership reflects the company’s approach of enabling academic institutions to scale responsibly without compromising academic intent, while ensuring that high-quality education reaches learners nationwide in a structured and outcome-driven manner.
