Sancta Maria is a premium K–12 school operator in India known for its academic outcomes, internationally aligned curriculum, and strong brand positioning in Hyderabad. The group sought strategic investment to accelerate its next phase of growth, centred on developing a modern, purpose-built greenfield campus near Hyderabad’s GMR Airport designed to expand capacity and enhance its premium offering.

Novistra Capital served as the exclusive financial advisor to Sancta Maria, leading a structured and competitive process tailored to the education investor landscape.
We worked closely with the leadership team to define the campus vision, articulate the long-term growth strategy, and develop a clear investment case anchored in demand dynamics, fee positioning, operating metrics, and development economics.
Our team prepared detailed materials, engaged targeted global education and sector-focused investors, and managed diligence, valuation alignment, and deal execution — ensuring the transaction moved with clarity, speed, and discipline.

Sancta Maria secured strategic investment from Investcorp and aligned co-investors, enabling the development of its new flagship greenfield campus and supporting the group’s broader expansion strategy. The transaction strengthens Sancta Maria’s position as a leading premium K–12 operator in the region and lays the foundation for long-term scale.
