What Zee Learn does
Zee Learn operates a portfolio of education brands rather than a single school chain: Kidzee is a franchised preschool network, Mount Litera Zee School (MLZS) and Mount Litera School International (MLSI) run K-12 schools, ZICA and ZIMA offer vocational training in animation, VFX, gaming, design and media/film production, and Jigyasa University (formerly Himgiri Zee University) provides higher education. The group also runs Liberium, an HR staffing and training business, and has built ed-tech products (Znius, a K-12 curriculum and school-management platform) and made a strategic investment in Vidysea, a study-abroad guidance platform. Revenue is earned through franchising/licensing of the preschool and school brands and directly operated centres.
