Xylem Learning[1][2] is an educational technology company based in Kozhikode, Kerala, India. The company provides coaching for competitive exams such as National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), and Kerala Engineering Architecture Medical (KEAM).[3] It also provides academic support for students preparing for school exams (CBSE and Kerala State Boards)[4]

History

Xylem Learning was founded in 2020 by Ananthu S.[5] Since its inception, Xylem has expanded through both online platforms and physical centers across Kerala.[6][7]

Since its inception, Xylem Learning has experienced significant growth, expanding its services through both online platforms and physical centers across Kerala. The company's commitment to accessible education has been evident through its provision of free classes to over three million students via 30 YouTube channels. Furthermore, Xylem has enrolled more than 100,000 paid students in its online courses and over 30,000 students in its offline or hybrid programs operating throughout Kerala.[8]

Services

  • Online Courses: Pre-recorded tutorials covering subjects for NEET, JEE, and KEAM.
  • Practice Materials: Repository of multiple-choice questions and solved papers.
  • Hybrid Learning Centers: Physical centers across Kerala for a mix of online and offline learning.[9][5]

Partnership with Physics Wallah

In June 2023, Xylem Learning entered a strategic partnership with Physics Wallah.[10] Physics Wallah invested ₹500 crore to acquire a 50% stake, aiming to expand the company's reach in South India.[11][12]

In 2024, Xylem Learning was involved in a legal dispute regarding NEET UG. The Supreme Court of India ordered the National Testing Agency (NTA) to respond to a notice filed by Xylem Learning on behalf of its students.[13][14] The Supreme Court of India questioned the company's standing in the matter, asking, "What right does a coaching centre have to file a petition?"[15]

Future Plans

Xylem Learning is focused on expanding its reach and improving its educational offerings as part of its long-term strategy. As of 2025, the company aims to further revolutionize the education landscape by leveraging technology, scaling operations across India, and venturing into international markets.
