  • It is recognised as a DPIIT Startup (Falconebiz) and holds a subsidiary, Skola Toys Private Limited, CIN U52520KA2016PTC092640 — single source: TheCompanyCheck, partial.
  • Employee count reported as ~121–455 depending on source, LinkedIn ~121–500 range; TheCompanyCheck EPFO count 455, — not reconciled, reported as a range.
  • Note: the brand name "Kreedo" is unrelated to the identically-named health-data-analytics startup at kreedo.ai, which was confirmed via direct site check to be a different, unconnected company — an entity-confusion trap to avoid.

Directors & Key Management

Directors — source notes

Director lists differ slightly by source snapshot (Falconebiz appears most current: last AGM 29 Sep 2025, balance sheet to 31 Mar 2025; TheCompanyCheck/Tofler snapshots reflect an earlier state with last AGM Nov 2024): - Vasavapuram Krishnan Manikandan — DIN 07453331 — Whole-time Director/Shareholder (confirmed, all 3 sources; appointment date shown inconsistently as 18 May 2016 by Tofler/TheCompanyCheck vs 29 Jul 2019 by Falconebiz) - Geetha Shridhar — DIN 07453325 — Director/Shareholder (confirmed — Tofler, TheCompanyCheck; not listed in Falconebiz's latest 5-director snapshot, so may have exited — unreconciled) - Mridula Shridhar — DIN 07453337 — Director/Shareholder (confirmed — Tofler, TheCompanyCheck; also absent from Falconebiz's latest list — unreconciled) - Pranay Shailesh Adhvaryu — DIN 03384491 — Nominee Director, appointed 20 May 2022 (confirmed — all 3 sources) - Gayatri Suri — DIN 10056522 — Nominee Director, appointed variously 27 Feb 2023 (TheCompanyCheck) / 3 Apr 2023 (Falconebiz) (confirmed present, exact date partial) - Akash Kumar Nahar — DIN 06500643 — Nominee Director, appointed 26 Sep 2023 (TheCompanyCheck) / 3 Nov 2023 (Falconebiz) (confirmed present, exact date partial) - Girichandra Sureshchandra Kuchangi — DIN 09476665 — Nominee Director, appointed 20 Aug 2024 (single source: Tofler/TheCompanyCheck; absent from Falconebiz's newer snapshot — may have exited) - Anil Gudibande — DIN 03071665 — Nominee Director, appointed 26 Feb 2026 (single source: Falconebiz only — newest addition, unconfirmed by a second source) Nominee directors plausibly represent the institutional investors named under Funding (UBS Optimus Foundation / Gray Matters Capital / Heritas Capital) but no source explicitly maps individual nominees to specific investors — not obtained.

GST Registrations

Not obtained. PAN AAGCK2056B (single-source, Tofler) would anchor a Karnataka (state code 29) primary GSTIN, but no source (KnowYourGST, FindGST, MastersIndia, Tofler GST tab) returned an actual GSTIN number, registration count, or status — all lookups either paywalled or returned no company-specific data. Do not infer/construct a GSTIN.

Funding History

  • Total funding ~US$6.86M across six rounds per Dealroom.co snapshot, latest round Feb 2024
  • A second aggregator (Premier Alts) independently cites ~US$7.6M total with the latest round being debt financing — figures are in the same ballpark but not identical, so treat total-funding amount as partial/conflicting rather than fully confirmed.
  • Named institutional investors (Dealroom): UBS Optimus Foundation, Gray Matters Capital, Heritas Capital.
  • Round-level details, dates, individual round sizes, valuation, were not obtained — Tracxn/Crunchbase/PitchBook listings exist but full content was not retrieved, paywalled/blocked.
  • Round names not independently verified via Tracxn per the "funding round names only" allowance.

Shareholding

  • Not obtained. Falconebiz and Tofler both gate shareholding-pattern detail behind premium/paywall
  • Directors flagged as "Shareholder" in identity records, Manikandan, Geetha Shridhar, Mridula Shridhar, suggest a promoter-family shareholding base alongside the institutional investors named under Funding, but exact percentages/share counts were not retrieved from any source.

Loans & Charges

  • Per TheCompanyCheck, single source, partial — not cross-verified: Open charges ~₹27.85 crore
  • Satisfied charges ~₹14.59 crore
  • Total charge records: 13
  • Lender type categorized as "Others", i.e., not identified as a scheduled bank in the source's categorization. No individual charge-holder names, instrument dates, or CERSAI/ROC filing numbers were obtained.

Credit Ratings

  • Not obtained. No CRISIL, ICRA, or CARE rating was found for Kido Enterprises Private Limited; a direct CRISIL Ratings site query returned no result, 404/page-not-found.

Competitive Landscape

  • Peers in Indian preschool-curriculum/Montessori-equipment and early-childhood-education franchise space, named, rough scale tags — none independently revenue-verified in this pass:
  • 1. EuroKids International — large-scale, one of India's biggest preschool franchise chains, larger scale than Kido
  • 2. Kidzee, Zee Learn Ltd, listed, — large-scale, listed entity, biggest preschool franchise network in India, much larger scale
  • 3. Podar Jumbo Kids, Podar Education Network, — mid-to-large scale preschool franchise
  • 4. Shemrock Group of Preschools — mid-large scale franchise network
  • 5. Little Millennium, Silverline Prestige, — mid-scale preschool franchise, comparable/slightly larger scale
  • 6. Funskool India Ltd (Hasbro/MRF JV) — larger scale, adjacent educational-toy manufacturer, broader toy category, not preschool-curriculum-focused
  • These are named from general market knowledge of the Indian preschool/edu-toy sector, not cross-verified against Kido's own filings — treat as directional, not authoritative peer benchmarking.
