Anjali: Hi Mr. Reddy, this is Anjali from Develop Schools. You'd reached out about selling your schools — is now a good time for a brief conversation?
Karthik: Yes Anjali, please.
Anjali: Thank you. Just to confirm what you mentioned in the form — you currently operate two CBSE schools in Chennai and you're looking to exit. Is that right?
Karthik: Yes. Both schools in OMR area. One is twelve years old, K-12, around fourteen hundred students. The other is eight years old, K-8, around six hundred students.
Anjali: That's a substantial portfolio. May I ask what's driving the exit — operational, personal, or strategic?
Karthik: Personal. I'm sixty-two, my children are settled abroad and not interested in continuing. I want to wind down over the next twelve to eighteen months.
Anjali: Completely understandable, and twelve to eighteen months is a healthy window for a smooth exit. Have you valued the schools yourself, or is that something you'd like our team to do?
Karthik: I have a rough number from my CA — together around eighty to ninety crores. But honestly I'd like a proper valuation from someone who knows the sector.
Anjali: That's exactly what we do — sector-specific valuation that buyers actually trust. We've closed eleven school exits in the last three years, including two in Chennai. Most owners are pleasantly surprised once we factor in the affiliation, brand, and parent loyalty premium.
Karthik: Haan that would be useful.
Anjali: Mr. Reddy, given the size and the timeline, I'd like Rita to handle this personally. She'll call you tomorrow with two things — a quick valuation framework so you understand the levers, and a confidential intro to two qualified buyers we already have hunting in Chennai.
Karthik: Yes please, that works perfectly. Morning is better.
Anjali: Done — ten AM tomorrow. She'll confirm by SMS first.
Karthik: Thank you Anjali.
Anjali: Thank you so much, Mr. Reddy. Goodbye.
Karthik: Goodbye.
