Build-to-Suit for Education: When It Works — and When It Breaks
Build-to-Suit models are accelerating across India’s education sector — but not all BTS projects succeed.

Our Host
The Collective Infra Group is a multi-disciplinary real estate platform focused on enabling complex, long-term asset development across sectors, including education, hospitality, and institutional real estate.
The group works closely with landowners, operators, developers, and capital partners to structure projects where land, design, delivery, and operating realities must align early — before commitments become irreversible.
As the anchor partner for EduInfra Connect, The Collective Infra Group brings on-ground execution insight, not a sales agenda.
Its involvement reflects a shared belief that education infrastructure decisions require deeper, earlier alignment than most traditional forums allow.
This partnership exists to strengthen the quality of conversation —not to influence outcomes.
