The company expects Pinnacle to drive 20-25% of its revenue in its first year and scale to 40% within three years.

Designed for schools with annual fees in the range of ₹50,000-70,000, Pinnacle includes AI-powered books, coding programs, and advanced assessment tools. Schools can adopt these offerings in bundled or unbundled formats, with the option to pass costs to parents or absorb them.

LEAD Group, which supports 8,000 schools—5,000 of them acquired from Pearson's K-12 India business last year—intends to transition many of these institutions to the Pinnacle platform.
