CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Building on Strong Foundations

Dear Shareholders,

It is with immense pride and gratitude that I present to you the twenty third annual report for NIIT Learning Systems Limited (NLSL). The financial year 2024-25 (FY25), our second year as an independent company, has been a testament to our strategic vision, operational excellence, and unwavering commitment to innovation in the managed learning services space.

Following the successful demerger and our strong performance in FY25, this year has been about building on the solid foundations we established as an independent entity. We have continued to demonstrate our ability to deliver consistent value to our stakeholders while navigating an increasingly complex global business environment marked by technological transformation driven by AI, evolving skill requirements, and shifting customer expectations.

Financial Performance and Operational Excellence

Our financial performance for FY25 reflects the strength and resilience of our business model. The Company achieved consolidated revenue of Rs. 16 , 533 million , representing a 6% year-on-year growth. While this growth was more measured compared to the previous year, it demonstrates our ability to sustain momentum even as market conditions remained challenging and customers continued to exercise caution in their training investments.

Our EBITDA reached Rs. 3 , 763 million with a margin of 22.8%, showcasing our continued focus on operational efficiency and disciplined cost management. The Profit After Tax stood at Rs. 2 , 275 million , translating to an earnings per share of Rs. 16.75, reflecting our commitment to delivering consistent returns to our shareholders.

Customer-Centric Growth Strategy

Our customer relationships remain the cornerstone of our success. During FY25, we added 9 new global Managed Training Services customers and expanded the scope of 6 existing contracts, demonstrating the trust our clients place in our capabilities. Most importantly, we maintained our track record of 100% contract renewals, renewed 9 contracts during the year, and ended the year with 93 MTS customers. Our revenue visibility of USD 390 million provides us with a strong foundation for future growth and reflects the long-term partnerships we have built with leading global enterprises.

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Innovation and Technology Leadership

FY25 has been particularly significant for our technology innovation journey. We have made substantial progress in generative AI for Learning & Development, moving beyond incremental improvements to create transformative solutions including ephemeral simulations, interactive role-plays, and AI coaching. These innovations are fundamentally reimagining how organizations develop human capability for competitive advantage.

It is particularly encouraging to see some of our customers beginning to adopt our GenAI-based L&D solutions at scale. In line with our AI-first approach, we continue to make strategic investments to strengthen our unique position as a leader in Managed Learning Services.

have not only enhanced the efficiency and scalability of our learning services but, more importantly, have empowered our clients to take a more ambitious and outcomes-driven approach to learning.

Building on this momentum, we acquired MST Group, a leading provider of managed learning services based in Germany, in July 2025. This acquisition strengthens our presence in the DACH region—Europe’s fastest-growing market—and increases our penetration in the automotive and industrial sectors. The integration of MST Group’s QuickStart Learning Academy capabilities will further enrich our managed learning services portfolio and enable us to deliver greater value to our clients.

Dividend and Shareholder Value

Industry Recognition and Leadership

Our commitment to excellence has been recognized through numerous industry accolades. We earned 63 Brandon Hall Excellence in HCM Awards and 39 Brandon Hall Excellence in Technology Awards in 2024. We were featured among the Top 20 Companies by Training Industry across multiple categories and ranked as the Strategic Leader in the 2025 Fosway 9-Grid™ report for digital learning. For the ninth consecutive year, we were accredited as a Gold Standard learning provider by the Learning and Performance Institute.

Looking Ahead

As we move forward, we remain focused on strengthening our position as the world's leading managed learning services company. Our strategy centers on leveraging artificial intelligence and advanced technologies to deliver unprecedented value to our customers, while expanding our global footprint and deepening our customer relationships.

The successful hosting of Confluence 2025 in Orlando, with over 120 learning leaders from Fortune 500 and Fortune Global 500 companies, reinforced our position as a thought leader in the industry and provided valuable insights that will shape our future offerings.

In recognition of our strong financial performance and confidence in our future prospects, the Board has recommended a dividend of Rs. 3 per equity share for FY25.

Acknowledgments

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our customers for their continued trust, our employees for their dedication and innovation, and our shareholders for their unwavering support. As we embark on our journey into FY26, we remain committed to driving growth, innovation, and value creation while maintaining our position as the global leader in managed learning services.

Together, we are not just adapting to the future of learning – we are creating it.

Warm regards,

RAJENDRA S PAWAR

Where there is more than one such director, their aggregate remuneration shall not exceed 10% of the net profits.

Further, remuneration payable to Directors other than Managing or Whole-time Directors (i.e., Non-executive Directors) shall not exceed:

(a) 1% of the net profits if the Company has a Managing Director or Whole-time Director or Manager; or

(b) 3% of the net profits in any other case.

However, the Act allows payment of remuneration in excess of these limits with the approval of shareholders through a Special Resolution.

For the purpose of determining such remuneration, the Company considers profits as per standalone financial statements, in accordance with Section 198 of the Act.

In the event of loss or inadequate profits, remuneration may be paid in accordance with the applicable ceilings specified in Schedule V of the Act, based on the Company’s effective capital. Such payment must be approved by shareholders through an Ordinary or Special Resolution, as applicable, and is valid for a period of up to three years.

Previously, shareholders had approved the payment of commission to Non-executive Directors as follows:

(a) In case of profits, up to 1% of the net profits for any financial year, in line with Section 197; and

(b) In case of inadequate or no profits, payment of up to Rs. 24,00,000 per Non-executive Director per financial year,

as may be determined by the Board.

As per Schedule V, the Company’s effective capital as on March 31, 2025, exceeds Rs. 250 crores and it is eligible to pay up to Rs. 24 lakhs annually per Non-executive Director in case of inadequate or no profits, with shareholders’ approval through an Ordinary Resolution. Any remuneration beyond this amount requires approval by Special Resolution.

For the FY25, the remuneration paid to the Managing Director and Executive Director remained within the prescribed limits of 5% and 10% respectively. The commission paid to Non-executive Directors was within the 1% limit of net profits. Mr. Rajendra Singh Pawar received remuneration as per the approval of members; however, he was not paid any commission linked to profitability.

As a matter of abundant caution, the Company now seeks shareholders’ approval through a Special Resolution for the proposed remuneration to Mr. Pawar, including for situations of loss or inadequate profits.

Your Company’s consolidated revenue from operations for FY25 is Rs. 16,533 million as against Rs. 15,535 million in the previous financial year and the profit after tax is Rs. 2,275 million as against Rs. 2,132 million in the previous financial year.

Your Company’s standalone revenue from operations for FY25 is Rs. 4,835 million as against Rs. 4,002 million in the previous financial year, and the profit after tax is Rs. 1,287 million as against profit of Rs. 1,021 million in the previous financial year.

Business Operations

The global economic environment in FY25 remained challenging, with slower GDP growth in major economies, sustained inflationary pressures, and geopolitical tensions. In NIIT MTS’ core markets of North America and Europe, large enterprises tightened discretionary spending and adopted a cautious approach to new program rollouts. While these conditions led to some moderation in customer consumption, your Company continued to deliver

industry-leading growth and profitability, underpinned by its differentiated operating model, strong customer relationships, and focus on measurable business outcomes.

During the year, the business added nine new Managed Training Services (MTS) customers, secured six scope expansions, and achieved a 100% renewal rate for all contracts that came up for renewal. At the close of FY25, NIIT MTS served 93 MTS customers, with the top 20 customers contributing 75% of revenues. Revenue visibility at year-end was USD 390 million. The Company expanded its footprint within existing accounts and leveraged its scale and expertise to grow wallet share.

EBITDA for the year was Rs. 3,763 million, representing a margin of 22.8%. Margins were lower than FY24 due to changes in business mix and sharper fluctuations in customer consumption levels; however, the Company remained among the most profitable players in its sector. NIIT MTS continued to invest in strengthening its capabilities, particularly in Generative AI (GenAI), which is being deployed to deliver scalable, hyper-personalized learning solutions with improved efficiency and enhanced outcomes. The Company also made a minority investment in Strivr Labs Inc., a leader in immersive and XR-based learning, broadening its solutions portfolio across industries such as BFSI, retail, manufacturing, and life sciences.

A detailed analysis of the overall performance is given in the Management Discussion and Analysis Report, forming part of this Report.

Future Plans

The global corporate learning and development (L&D) market is projected to reach USD 460 billion by 2027. Proprietary training outsourcing remains underpenetrated at less than 3% of overall L&D spend, providing significant long-term growth potential for specialist providers such as NIIT MTS. Outsourcing adoption is being accelerated by the increasing complexity of training requirements, heightened demand for measurable ROI from L&D investments, and the shift by enterprises towards variable-cost delivery models.

While near-term macroeconomic volatility may continue to extend enterprise decision cycles, the underlying demand drivers for NIIT MTS’ services remain strong. Skills gaps, regulatory change, and rapid technological advances—particularly the adoption of AI in learning—are prompting global corporations to seek agile, scalable, and outcome-driven solutions. Your Company’s proven capability stack, differentiated consulting expertise, and strong track record in delivering measurable learning outcomes position it

BOARD’S REPORT (Contd..)

to capture a growing share of this expanding market. With ongoing investments in GenAI, immersive learning, and advisory services, the Company is building a future-ready portfolio.

Your Company plans to continue its inorganic growth agenda to add new capabilities, penetrate desired customer segments, and strengthen presence in select geographies. This will be pursued alongside a balanced organic growth strategy focused on new customer acquisition, expansion within existing accounts, and further strengthening of global delivery capabilities.

With a robust balance sheet, strong revenue visibility, and enduring customer relationships, NIIT MTS aims to sustain industryleading growth and profitability over the medium to long term, while continuing to invest in innovation, thought leadership, and global sales and marketing to drive large-scale, comprehensive engagements.

ENVIRONMENT AND STATE OF THE INDUSTRY

FY25 was marked by a shift in global sentiment from cautious optimism to heightened uncertainty. In its April 2025 World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reported that global GDP grew by 3.2% in 2023, moderated to 2.8% in 2024, and is projected to slow further to 2.4% in 2025. This reflects sustained inflationary pressures, tighter monetary policy across advanced economies, and a deceleration in global trade and investment flows. Earlier expectations of interest rate reductions and improved macroeconomic stability were offset by resurgent energy prices, persistent geopolitical tensions, and renewed volatility in developed markets.

Amidst this backdrop, large enterprises in North America and Europe - NIIT MTS’ core customer base tightened discretionary spending, delayed non-essential programs, and renewed their focus on cost containment. This resulted in volume compression across certain existing contracts, greater deal scrutiny, and a shift toward centralized and outsourced learning models. At the same time, the structural need for upskilling and workforce transformation has become more compelling than before. According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs 2025 report, 63% of global companies cite skills gaps as a key challenge, while 85% plan to increase investment in workforce upskilling.

The accelerated integration of Generative AI (GenAI) has also emerged as a transformative force in corporate learning. Organizations globally are embedding GenAI in content creation, learning workflows, and performance enablement. NIIT Learning Systems Limited has responded with targeted investments in AI-driven R&D, automation, and content personalisation—positioning the Company to deliver hyper-scalable, outcome-driven learning solutions. As highlighted in Gartner’s 2025 L&D research, CEOs continue to prioritize growth through transformation, placing increasing strategic importance on L&D leaders to activate agile, skills-first learning cultures. With its robust capability stack, proven customer relationships, and scalable delivery model, the Company is well positioned to serve evolving enterprise needs in a more cost-conscious and tech-enabled learning environment. Analysts and customers are unified in positioning NIIT MTS as a strategic leader at pole position in leading generative AI initiatives for learning and development.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

The global corporate training market is expected to grow to $460 billion in 2027 (Source: Research and Corporate Training Global Market Report). On an average, companies spend about 1% of their revenue on employee training. According to ATD’s State of the Industry Report 2023, in North America and Europe, this represents over USD 1200 per employee (excluding the cost of employees in training), each year. About two-thirds of the spending is typically toward proprietary training so that employees can do their specific job or customers can adopt their products. This includes areas such as training on proprietary products, processes, and systems of respective companies. Close to two thirds of this spending is on internal L&D resources. Balance spending is primarily on buying off-the-shelf or NLSL AT standardized training courses from third parties. All proprietary training needs to be created, maintained, A GLANCE updated frequently for changes, and delivered to internal employees, customers and partners.

Over the years, the complexity of training has increased significantly, as have expectations around outcomes. In this context , the level of investment required to deliver high-quality training is often not feasible for internal L&D organizations, particularly as learning and development is not their core function. Moreover, dedicated internal L&D staff are frequently underutilized since-training demand tends to fluctuate, while costs remain largely fixed. As a

result, the efficiency and effectiveness of in-house training efforts are often inconsistent.

As artificial intelligence transforms the learning landscape, L&D departments at large global organizations are finding it challenging to build comprehensive AI-enabled learning ecosystems that can operate effectively at scale. These organizations face significant hurdles in integrating AI technologies with their existing learning infrastructure, managing data governance and privacy requirements across multiple regulatory environments, and ensuring AI-driven personalization works consistently across diverse cultural and linguistic contexts. Many L&D teams lack the specialized technical expertise needed to evaluate, implement, and optimize AI solutions, while also grappling with the complexity of creating seamless user experiences that blend AI-powered content curation, adaptive learning paths, and predictive analytics. Additionally, the rapid pace of AI innovation makes it difficult for internal teams to stay current with emerging technologies and best practices, often resulting in fragmented implementations that fail to deliver the transformative learning experiences that modern enterprises require to remain competitive in an increasingly digital business environment.

NIIT MTS operates in the training outsourcing market and is an established leader in Managed Learning Services. The Company can do this work with significantly higher efficiency and effectiveness as compared to internal training organizations while ensuring best practices are followed. In addition, NIIT MTS brings unique capabilities that internal training organizations do not have and are often inefficient for them to invest in for captive use.

NIIT MTS helps its corporate customers achieve substantial improvements in learning outcomes (such as reduced time spent for upskilling, improved productivity, improved business results, increase in sales etc.) with higher predictability, while driving reduction in cost and in fixed head count for training, as well as moving to a variable model (pay per use).

Outsourcing of proprietary training is underpenetrated, with external spending on Learning Services at less than $10 billion per annum, which is less than 3% of overall L&D spend . This represents a large opportunity for your Company with significant headroom for growth. The Managed Learning Services market is expected to grow substantially as companies increasingly outsource non-core functions, creating a significant opportunity for Managed Learning Services providers like NIIT MTS to capture a disproportionate share of this expanding market given our proven track record as training specialists who consistently deliver measurable improvements in both the efficiency and effectiveness of our clients' L&D operations.

L&D is increasingly seen as a key enabler for business success. Therefore, global corporations are not only demanding greater accountability and efficiency on spending from their L&D function but are also expecting L&D investments that lead to a measurable improvement in employee productivity and business outcomes. NIIT MTS is uniquely positioned to capture a disproportionate share of this demanding market through its distinctive combination of deep L&D expertise, proven methodologies for measuring ROI and business impact, and a track record of successfully transforming L&D operations for Fortune 500 clients—capabilities that traditional competitors often lack. Unlike generalist L&D providers and consulting firms that may deliver inconsistent service quality across different practice areas, or smaller training vendors that struggle to deliver transformative results at global scale, NIIT MTS combines specialized L&D focus with enterprise-grade delivery capabilities. The company’s competitors often face challenges in key areas: they typically have limited expertise and experience in redesigning L&D operations to achieve sustained improvements in effectiveness and efficiency to deliver learning transformation at enterprise scale, and often cannot effectively integrate AI, technology, content, and delivery processes to create comprehensive learning ecosystems for large multinational organizations.

PERFORMANCE

==> picture [504 x 203] intentionally omitted <==

While the company achieved year-on-year revenue growth, performance in FY25 was impacted by the environment and was below initial expectations, reflecting the evolving macroeconomic environment and cautious enterprise sentiment across core developed markets. Nonetheless, NIIT Learning Systems Limited delivered industry-leading growth and profitability , navigating the uncertainty more effectively than many of its peers. The Company maintained its 100% contract renewal rate and continued to be recognized for service excellence, including the highest Net Promoter Scores (NPS) in the industry and improved positioning in independent analyst evaluations such as the Fosway 9-Grid™.

While customer consumption in some accounts moderated, the Company continued to deepen relationships, expand into new divisions, and leverage its MTS model to grow wallet share . Investments in new capabilities and global delivery allowed the Company to sustain growth momentum, even as near-term visibility remained constrained in select verticals. The learning business demonstrated continued resilience, supported by a differentiated operating model and strong focus on customer outcomes.

The Company continued to make disproportionate investments in sales & marketing to expand its reach and in new capabilities to deliver enhanced value to its customers. The Company has a dedicated team for leveraging GenAI and has made rapid progress in deploying AI and automation across multiple aspects of its operations. In projects and workstreams where AI is utilized, the Company has become more ambitious in terms of learning outcomes and is also beginning to see improvements in efficiency.

NIIT MTS entered the Global Management Consulting & Professional Services sector and strengthened its consulting practice with the acquisition of St. Charles Consulting Group LLC (StC) in FY23. Headquartered in St. Charles, Illinois, StC is a leading provider of consulting, design, and implementation solutions for strategic learning programs for Fortune 500 companies. During the year, the Company created a unified consulting team to deliver enhanced capabilities, including Learning Transformation, Talent Strategy & Business Alignment, Employee and Learner Experience Design, Talent & Learning Technology, and Strategic Learning Interventions, to its customers. StC’s consulting services have been expanded beyond North America to the UK and EU markets. The expansion of NIIT MTS’s services across Management Consulting & Professional Services firms has resulted in increased wallet share with customers.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Looking ahead, NIIT MTS sees a compelling opportunity to lead the global corporate learning market. Despite continued uncertainty in the external environment, the Company has set bold growth aspirations, targeting $400–500 million in revenue over the next 3 years. With estimated annual spending of over 400 billion dollars and less than 5% penetration, training outsourcing continues to represent a large, multi-year growth opportunity. NIIT MTS, being a Top 2 global training specialist firm and Top 5 overall, including general outsourcing firms, is uniquely positioned to address growing demand as companies seek greater efficiency and effectiveness from their L&D spending.

The completion of the demerger in FY24 created an organization with a sharp focus on learning outsourcing market. This provides the company with greater agility, energy and hunger to further drive its growth. The Company is committed to maintaining ongoing investments in innovation to ensure customer satisfaction, in advisory services to foster thought leadership, and in sales & marketing to build a global platform for large-scale comprehensive deals aimed at accelerating growth.

Risks And Concerns

The strategy rests on three key pillars:

==> picture [8 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Becoming an AI-first business: The Company will continue to embed GenAI across learning design, delivery, support, and analytics to improve both efficiency and learner outcomes.

==> picture [8 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Expanding market coverage: The Company will invest in business development and customer acquisition to grow new logos, while increasing share of wallet in existing accounts.

==> picture [8 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Deploying growth capital: Strategic investments will be made to strengthen and expand capability set, geographical reach, and penetrate desired customer segments, including potential inorganic expansion.

These efforts are underpinned by a strong balance sheet and a culture of execution excellence. With a sharpened strategic focus, operational agility, and commitment to innovation, NIIT MTS is confident in its ability to scale sustainably, deliver stakeholder value, and maintain leadership in a fast-evolving global learning landscape.

NIIT MTS has established a strong position and ‘right to win’ in the market with a) proprietary learning methodologies grounded in learning science that create predictable outcomes , b) leadership in the use of technology for education, including a leading-edge in AI for learning and development, automation of learning processes, gamification, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) based simulations and learning analytics, c) end-to-end, multi-shore delivery capability, and d) strong balance sheet and availability of growth capital. These combined capabilities lead to increased business impact and consistent improvements in the effectiveness and efficiency of the learning function across its global customer base.

NIIT MTS services customers in over 30 countries. As a global enterprise, the Company faces a variety of risks. Risk management is, therefore, an integral part of the Company’s core process and involves recording, monitoring, independent testing, and controlling of the internal functions by establishing the Risk Control Matrix (RCM). RCM ensures process control, Business Risk Management (BRM) framework for business objectives, and Entity Level Control (ELC) for comprehensive risk reporting.

NIIT MTS has established a comprehensive Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework across the organization to enhance risk visibility, strengthen governance, and embed a culture of proactive risk management. The framework is aligned with globally accepted standards and leading practices and has been integrated with strategic and operational decision-making processes.

The ERM framework enables systematic identification, assessment, mitigation, monitoring, and reporting of risks that may impact the achievement of the Company’s strategic objectives, particularly in an increasingly disruptive global environment. It supports informed decision-making by incorporating risk considerations into all major business decisions.

The Risk Management Committee, in conjunction with senior management, reviews the risk framework at regular intervals and provides oversight on the effectiveness of controls and mitigation measures. The committee also evaluates the dynamic risk landscape to ensure the framework remains relevant and responsive to emerging challenges.

Risk-taking remains an inherent aspect of value creation. As such, risk appetite is calibrated across business lines to maintain a balance between pursuing growth opportunities and safeguarding stakeholder interests. The risk-return profile of each business is assessed to maximize long-term, risk-adjusted shareholder value.

Enterprise Risk Management Framework

NIIT MTS continues to strengthen its Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework, developed in alignment with globally recognized standards such as COSO and ISO 31000. The framework has been tailored to the specific needs of the business, ensuring comprehensive risk identification, assessment, and mitigation strategies are embedded within operational and strategic decision-making.

Risks are proactively identified in consultation with business leaders and prioritized based on potential impact. Key risk areas include customer concentration, competitive dynamics, talent, cybersecurity and data privacy, investment exposures, and foreign exchange volatility. The Company has implemented a robust set of internal controls over financial reporting, which have been assessed to be both adequate and effective in their operation.

At the enterprise level, the risk management approach is designed to address material risks across the organization, guided by historical experience, prevailing macroeconomic and industry conditions, and future strategic initiatives. Mitigation strategies are developed in tandem with business planning processes, ensuring alignment with operational priorities. Oversight of risk controls and compliance is conducted through the Internal Audit and Assurance Group, with regular updates presented to relevant governance bodies.

Risks are categorized into two principal domains— External Risks and Internal Risks —each with defined mitigation plans. As part of the overall risk management discipline, regular reviews and updates to the risk register are conducted to remain responsive to emerging risks and opportunities.

The Company remains diversified across service offerings and geographies, which helps mitigate sectoral and regional volatility. While customer concentration remains a monitored area—with the top five customers contributing 33% of total revenues in FY25 (vs 41% in the prior year)—renewal rates have remained strong, and consistent new client additions have offset concentration risk. This resilience has supported business continuity through macroeconomic uncertainty and ongoing recovery cycles. To manage technology and AI disruption risks, the Company has launched several GenAI-led initiatives along with a dedicated team for AI, aimed at innovation, operational enhancement, and long-term competitiveness. These measures are also expected to reduce risks associated with rapid technological change.

In response to environmental risks, sustainability has been embedded into core operations through the adoption of the 3R Principle—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Initiatives include increased use of renewable energy, achievement of zero wastewater discharge, and continuous monitoring of fuel usage, hazardous materials, and plastics consumption.

The Company’s strong balance sheet and liquidity position provide significant resilience against external shocks and reinforce stakeholder confidence—including that of global clients, partners, and employees. The ERM framework continues to evolve, with risk governance practices reviewed periodically to ensure robustness, relevance, and alignment with long-term strategic objectives.

Internal Control Systems And Their Adequacy

The Company has adopted global practices for evaluating and reporting on internal controls based on its operational experience in multiple countries. It has also implemented one of the leading ERP solutions in its global operations to integrate various facets of business operations, including Human Resources, Finance, Logistics, and Sales. This has enabled the Company to control and monitor its worldwide operations and strengthen the ability of internal controls to function most optimally. The evaluation of internal controls is an integral part of the plan for the Audit & Assurance Organization.

Financial implications
of the risk or
opportunity (indicate
positive or negative
implications)
1 Climate Change
and Energy
Management
Opportunity NIIT Learning Systems Ltd., recognizes its
responsibility to build a sustainable future;
as a leading learning and talent development
company, we are committed to minimizing
our environmental footprint by promoting
digital-frst solutions, reducing resource
consumption, and encouraging eco-friendly
practices across our operations. Our focus
on sustainability supports global climate
goals while aligning with our mission to
create long-term value for all stakeholders.









Positive
2 Talent Attraction
and Development
Opportunity As a talent development corporation, it is
crucial for NLSL to prioritize the development
of our own human capital. We have
established a robust learning culture and
process within the company.
Additionally, we prioritize and consistently
invest in cultivating a diverse group of
leaders. Our company ofers executive
development programs tailored to every
level,
including
individual
contributors,
managers, and leaders.
We utilize technological solutions to enhance
the employee experience. For instance, we
are currently implementing Success Factors,
employing an AI BOT for engagement
surveys, and utilizing an online portal for
wellness initiatives.













Positive
3 Data Privacy and
Cyber Security
Risk There are several potential risks associated
with cyber threats, including malware
attacks, social engineering attacks, and
software supply chain attacks. These risks
pose a signifcant threat to the company
as they can result in the theft of sensitive
customer data. This not only jeopardizes
data privacy but also poses a reputational
risk to the company.








NLSL implements various security
measures such as Segregation
of Duties (SOD), Multi-Factor
Authentication
(MFA),
disk
encryption, and USB disablement
to safeguard against IT risks and
maintain data privacy. Our robust
cyber security and data privacy
policy is designed to promptly
address threats and efectively
manage data, mitigating any
potential risks stemming from
cyber security and data privacy
concerns.
The company also maintains
audit trails for the standalone
entity in line with the requirement
specifed bythe regulators.
















Negative
4 Artifcial
Intelligence
Risk &
Opportunity
Risk exists in the learning content practice
as customers may opt to use Gen AI for
content creation. However, customers may
alternatively opt to invest in more efective
training at levels 2 and 3.
We have incorporated automation, bots,
and RPAs into our Learning administration
processes. AI won’t could revolutionize our
oferings, it does and enable us to introduce
some new products.
The risk is low for Learning Delivery as
instructors continue to ofer unique value
towards building profciency.











Our strategy for future is centered
around a strong focus on highly
AI-enabled solutions. We have
made signifcant investment in
FY25 and also plan to continue
invest signifcantly in FY26 to
strengthen our AI capabilities, for
driving internal efciencies and
customer deliverables.
The
company
also
foresees
reasonable
opportunity
in
consulting and implementation of
AI initiative with its customer.

5 Employee Health
and Safety
Opportunity Poor
work
environments
and
unsafe
practices can deter employee retention
and discourage workplace efciency or
productivity. Lost time due to injuries create
loss of productivity and mental dissatisfaction
in employees. The new normal of hybrid
working, employee demands have shifted to
mental and emotional wellness rather than
only that of physical.
Employee well-being has been an important
focus area for NLSL. When COVID frst
impacted us, we already had in place a
wellness portal called Round Glass which
was used for various health and wellness
programs. We also had a panel of experts to
take care of mental wellness.
Our online wellness portal has more than
50% of employees participating in webinars
on areas related to health and wellbeing.
We also drive health and wellness initiatives
through a tie up with external consultants
and provide free sponsorship of membership
to our employees. We take continuous
feedback
from
employees
through
engagement surveys and feedback to design
and incorporate new initiatives in the area of
wellbeing.























Positive
6 Business Ethics
and Corporate
Governance
Opportunity Business ethics are cornerstone of ensuring
transparent
and
sustainable
corporate
governance
frameworks.
Upholding
policies such as code of conduct and anti-
bribery & corruption and good business
ethics ensure transparent and sustainable
corporate
governance
frameworks
and
good-governance measures to efectively
implement stringent actions, among others.
NLSL has a Code of Conduct in place
to ensure compliance with standards of
business practices and legal requirements
for all its employees and workers. We also
have comprehensive anti-bribery and anti-
corruption policy and measures to ensure
compliance and management of risks. Our
policies such as whistleblower, related
party transactions, etc. are also material to
business.

7 Customer
Concentration
Risk &
Opportunity
The company functions in multiple sectors
and is mostly focused on Fortune 1000
organizations.. The company sets into its
customer training and upskilling in an integral
manner, which results in fewer customers
having a large share or contribution towards
revenue. Usually, the customer maturity
process is long-term for the business.







NLSL has grown to earn the trust
of many Fortune 1000 companies
in over 55 countries. Trusted by
the world’s leading companies,
NLSL
provides
high-impact
managed
learning
solutions
that weave together the best
of learning theory, technology,
operations,
and
services
to
enable a thriving workforce.
The risk of failure of these
customers is low and there is a
steep entry barrier.
More and more organizations
are engaging providers such as
NLSL for outsourcing; hence
there are signifcant opportunities
in the market. Currently the
company has a wide customer
base ofering varied services with
increasing revenue share across
geographies.



















Negative
8 Supply chain
Management
Opportunity Supply chain management afects product
and service quality, delivery, costs, customer
experience
and
ultimately,
proftability.
Increased supply chain disruptions at
the wake of geopolitical transitions, and
crises such as the pandemic result in loss
of business continuity. Lack of inclusive
supply chains creates vacuum at the time of
crises. A robust supply chain includes local
sourcing, boosting local economies and
disadvantaged communities.
NLSL’s operations depend signifcantly on
value chain partner, and it maintains a very
wide base of such partners globally with
ability to source at very short interval to meet
customer demands. The value proposition to
its enterprise customers that the provides is
the ability to meet certain surges of demand
, thus not requiring customers to have any
fxed commitment.

















Positive

Note: While the material Issues are identified, the company is undergoing detailed assessment of prioritization for driving its long term sustainability goals.

NLSL has established a transformational partnership with The Writing Revolution (TWR), a 4-star rated non-profit organization dedicated to improving writing and critical thinking skills for underserved students across the United States. This partnership demonstrates how commercial technology solutions can drive significant social impact for historically marginalized communities. The partnership began with substantial pro bono consulting services where NIIT developed a comprehensive 3-year digital transformation roadmap for TWR. This CSR investment established the foundation for a commercial engagement where TWR invested in NIIT’s support to develop a bespoke, AI-enhanced educational platform.

Social Impact: The partnership directly serves teachers working with underprivileged students, English language learners, and students in underserved communities who lack access to quality writing instruction. Current implementations include school districts in Louisiana, Baltimore, Arkansas, and Washington DC, with significant documented improvements in student writing performance, standardized test results across subjects, and teacher effectiveness.

Expected Outcomes FY26:

  • 50,000-100,000 teachers empowered with AI-enhanced tools (10x increase in TWR’s reach).

  • 2-5 million students receiving improved writing instruction.

  • Measurable gains in writing performance for historically marginalized students.

  • Global accessibility removing geographic barriers to quality professional development.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Members of NIIT Learning Systems Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of NIIT Learning Systems Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance sheet as at March 31, 2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss, including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, its profit including other comprehensive loss, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ‘Code of Ethics’ issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.

Other Information

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Responsibilities of Management for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Contd..

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

ANNEXURE-2 TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF NIIT LEARNING SYSTEMS LIMTED

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements of NIIT Learning Systems Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2025 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company’s Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to these standalone financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, as specified under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to these standalone financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to these standalone financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to these standalone financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to these standalone financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls With Reference to these Standalone Financial Statements

A company’s internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls With Reference to Standalone Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to standalone financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2025, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

2 Material Accounting Policies

This note provides a list of the material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.a) Basis of preparation

(i) Compliance with Ind AS

These financial statements (‘financial statements’) have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standard (‘Ind AS’) notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended from time to time by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (‘MCA’).

The financial statements are based on the classification provisions contained in Ind AS 1, ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ and division II of schedule III of the Companies Act 2013. Further, for the purpose of clarity, various items are aggregated in the statement of profit and loss and balance sheet. Nonetheless, these items are dis-aggregated separately in the notes to the financial statements, where applicable or required. All the amounts included in the financial statements are reported in Millions of Indian Rupees (‘Rupees’ or ‘Rs.’) and are rounded to the nearest Million with two decimals, except per share data and unless stated otherwise.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current and non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle. Based on the nature of services rendered to customers and time elapsed between deployment of resources and the realisation in cash and cash equivalents of the consideration for such services rendered, the Company has considered an operating cycle of 12 months.

(ii) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:

  • Financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) are measured at fair value or amortised cost

  • Defined benefit plans – plan assets measured at fair value

  • Share-based payments (ESOP’s) are measured at fair value

b) Foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (Rs.), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at period end exchange rates are generally recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.

They are deferred in equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange differences regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the statement of profit and loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a net basis within other gains/ (losses).

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

c) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured on transaction price of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, discounts and taxes.

When two or more revenue generating activities or deliverables are provided under a single arrangement, each deliverable that is considered to be a separate deliverable is accounted separately. Where the contracts include multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the standalone selling prices. Where the standalone selling prices are not directly observable, these are estimated based on expected cost plus margin or residual method to allocate the total transaction price. In cases of residual method, the standalone selling price is estimated by reference to the total transaction price less the sum of the observable standalone selling prices of other goods or services promised in the contract.

Services are provided under time and material contracts and fixed price contracts. Revenue from providing services is recognised over a period of time in the accounting period in which services are rendered. The revenue from time and material contracts is recognised at the amount to which the Company has right to invoice.

In respect of fixed price contracts, revenue is recognised based on the technical evaluation of utilization of services as per the proportionate completion method when no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration that will be determined from rendering the service. The customer pays the fixed amount based on a payment schedule. If the services rendered by the Company exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognised. If the payment exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognised. Revenue from training is recognised over the period of delivery. The foreseeable losses on completion of contract, if any, are provided for.

Estimates of revenues, costs or extent of progress towards completion are revised if circumstances change. Any resulting increase or decrease in estimated revenues or costs are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known to management.

On certain contracts, where the Company acts as agent, only commission and fees receivable for services rendered are recognised as revenue. Any third party costs incurred on behalf of the principal that are rechargeable under the contractual arrangement are not included in revenue.

Revenue in respect of sale of courseware and other physical deliverables is recognised at a point in time when these are delivered, the legal title is passed and the customer has accepted the courseware and other physical deliverables.

Revenues in excess of invoicing are treated as contract assets while invoicing in excess of revenues are treated as contract liabilities. The Company classifies amounts due from customer but not billed as unbilled revenue or contract assets depending on whether the company has unconditional right to receive the sale consideration. If only the passage of time is required before receipt of consideration is due, the amounts are classified as unbilled revenue under other financial assets. Otherwise, such amounts are classified as contract assets under other current assets.

d) Other Income

Other income mainly comprises interest income on bank and other deposits, profit on sale of property, plant and equipments, corporate and management cost recovery, common resources cost recovery, corporate guarantee and mutual fund and exchange differences. Interest income is recognized using effective interest rate method taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate of Interest applicable (refer policy to investment and other financial assets).Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.

e) Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current tax expense and the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year. Current and deferred taxes are recognised in statement of profit and loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current income taxes

The current income tax expense includes income taxes payable by the Company. The current tax payable by the Company in India is Indian income tax payable on worldwide income after taking credit for tax relief available.

Advance taxes and provisions for current income taxes are presented in the balance sheet after off-setting advance tax paid and income tax provision.

Deferred income taxes

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

f) Leases

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Company as a lessee

The Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative standalone price of the lease component and the aggregate standalone price of the non-lease components.

Right-of-use assets

The Company recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Lease liabilities

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset if the Company changes its assessment to whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

Lease liability and Right-of-use assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and Lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

The Company has elected to not recognize leases with a lease term of 12 months or less in the standalone balance sheet, and lease costs for those short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the standalone statement of profit and loss.

g) Investments and other financial assets

(i) Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

• those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), or

• those measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

(ii) Measurement

At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

Financial Assets

Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its financial assets:

  • Amortised Cost : Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost.

  • Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) : Assets that are held for collection of the contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the asset’s cash flow represents solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/ (losses).

Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2025

  • Fair value through profit or loss : Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) are measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss and presented net in the Statement of Profit and Loss within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.

Investment in subsidiaries: Investment in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment loss, if any.

(iii) Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on investments such as financial assets that are measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI, trade receivables and contract assets, financial guarantee contracts, and certain other financial assets measured at amortised cost such as deferred consideration receivable on disposal of subsidiaries. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.

The Company recognises lifetime expected credit losses (ECL) for trade receivables and contract assets. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate.

For all other financial instruments, the Company recognises lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. However, if the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL.

Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

Investment in subsidiaries is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

(iv) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised only when

  • The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or

  • retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.

Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

h) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are shown as borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.

i) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently adjusted for expected credit loss using the effective interest method.

j) Inventories

Traded goods are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost of traded goods comprises cost of purchases and all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average method. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

k) Derivatives and hedging activities

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged and the type of hedge relationship designated.

Cash flow hedges when hedging the exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction.

Contd..

At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the Company wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes the Company’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge, the hedging/ economic relationship, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, hedge ratio and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated.

The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months; it is classified as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months.

Cash flow hedges that qualify for hedge accounting

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in the other comprehensive income in cash flow hedging reserve within equity, limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item on a present value basis from the inception of the hedge. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion, if any, is recognised immediately in profit or loss, within other gains/(losses).

Forward contracts are used to hedge forecast transactions, the Company generally designates only the change in fair value of the forward contract related to the spot component as the hedging instrument. Gains or losses relating to the effective portion of the change in the spot component of the forward contracts are recognised in other comprehensive income in cash flow hedging reserve within equity. The change in the forward element of the contract that relates to the hedged item (‘aligned forward element’) is recognised within other comprehensive income in the costs of hedging reserve within equity. In some cases, the entity may designate the full change in fair value of the forward contract (including forward points) as the hedging instrument. In such cases, the gains and losses relating to the effective portion of the change in fair value of the entire forward contract are recognised in the cash flow hedging reserve within equity.

Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss (for example, when the forecast sale that is hedged takes place).

When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative deferred gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging in equity at that time remains in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. When the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging that were reported in equity are immediately reclassified to profit or loss within other gains/(losses).

If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes is no longer optimal but the risk management objective remains unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by adjusting either the volume of the hedging instrument or the volume of the hedged item so that the hedge ratio aligns with the ratio used for risk management purposes. Any hedge ineffectiveness is calculated and accounted for in profit or loss at the time of the hedge relationship rebalancing.

l) Property, plant and equipment

The Company had applied for the one-time transition exemption of considering the carrying cost on the transition date i.e. April 01, 2016 as the deemed cost under Ind AS, regarded thereafter as historical cost.

All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as follows:

as follows:

  • Depreciation is provided on a pro-rata basis on the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. The depreciation charge for each period is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The residual values is considered as nil.

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within other income/ (expenses).

m) Intangible assets

Computer software - Acquired

These Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Software tools, Platforms, Content and Courseware-Internally generated including intangible assets under development

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Company are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:

  • it is technically feasible to complete the development so that it will be available for use;

  • management intends to complete the content / products and use or sell it;

  • there is an ability to use or sell the content / products;

  • it can be demonstrated how the content / products will generate probable future economic benefits;

  • adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the content / products are available, and

  • the expenditure attributable to the content / products during its development can be reliably measured.

  • Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the intangible include employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads.

Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the asset is available for use.

Amortisation methods and periods

Particulars Useful life
Internally generated(Software tools,Platforms,Content and Courseware) 3-5years
Acquired(Software) 3-5years

n) Impairment testing of intangible assets

Other assets are tested annually for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units).

An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Such a reversal is made only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

o) Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value.

The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. Changes in fair value of such liability are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

The Company’s financial liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at net of transaction costs and includes trade payables, borrowings and other payables.

After initial recognition, financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method except for deferred consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the

Contd..

EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

p) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

Provisions for onerous contracts are recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established the Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

The Company uses significant judgements to assess contingent liabilities. Contingent liabilities are recognised when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the standalone financial statements.

q) Cost Recognition

Costs and expenses are recognised when incurred and have been classified according to their primary nature. The costs of the Company are broadly categorised in Professional & technical outsourcing expenses, employee benefit expenses, purchases of stock-in-trade, depreciation and amortisation, finance cost and other expenses. Professional & technical outsourcing expenses include service and delivery charges including any incidental expenses thereto. Employee costs include employee compensation, allowances paid, contribution to various funds, share based payments and staff welfare expenses. Other expenses majorly include rental, travelling and conveyance, legal and professional fees, marketing and advertising expenses, allowances for expected credit loss and other expenses.

r) Employee benefits

(i) Short-term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations

The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Remeasurement as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

(iii) Post-employment obligations

  • The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:

  • Defined benefit plans such as Gratuity and Compensated Absences.

  • Defined contribution plan such as Provident fund, Superannuation Fund, Pension fund and National Pension system.

Gratuity

The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation denominated in Rs. is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.

Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2025

Contd..

The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the Statement of Changes in Equity and in the balance sheet.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.

Compensated absences

Liability in respect of compensated absences is provided for both encashable leave and those expected to be availed. The Company has defined benefit plans for compensated absences for employees, the liability for which is determined on the basis of an actuarial valuation at the end of the year using projected unit credit method. Any gain or loss arising out of such valuation is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as income or expense as the case may be.

Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed within twelve months from the end of the year are treated as short term employee benefits. The obligation towards the same is measured at the expected undiscounted cost of accumulated compensated absences expected to be availed based on the unutilised entitlement at the year end.

Provident fund

The Company’s contribution towards Provident Fund is charged to Standalone statement of profit and loss. Provident fund contributions are made to the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner in accordance with the Employee Provident Fund Rules and are accounted as defined contribution plans and charged to standalone statement of profit and loss.

Superannuation fund

The Company makes defined contribution to the Trust established for the purpose by the Company towards superannuation fund maintained with Life Insurance Corporation of India. The Company has no further obligations beyond its monthly contributions. Contribution made during the year is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss.

Pension Fund

The Company makes defined contribution to a government administered pension fund towards its pension plan on behalf of its employees. The Company has no further obligations beyond its monthly contributions. The contribution towards Employee Pension Scheme is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss.

National Pension System

The Company makes defined contribution towards National Pension System for certain employees for which Company has no further obligation. Contributions made during the year are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss.

(iv) Share based payment reserve - Employee stock option plan (ESOP)

The Company operates equity settled employee stock options plan. The fair value of options granted under the ‘NLSL ESOP 2023-0’ is recognised as an employee benefit expenses with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:

  • including any market performance conditions (e.g., the entity’s share price)

  • excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (e.g. profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period), and

  • including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (e.g. the requirement for employees to save or hold shares for a specific period of time).

The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

s) Share capital

Equity share capital

Issuance of ordinary shares are recognised as equity share capital in equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new equity shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

t) Dividends

The final dividend on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees. Companies are required to pay/distribute dividend after deducting applicable taxes. The remittance of dividends outside India is governed by Indian law on foreign exchange and is also subject to withholding tax at applicable rates.

u) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

  • Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

  • the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and

  • the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

v) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.

Information about significant areas of estimation/uncertainty and judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the financial statements are as follows:

  • measurement of defined benefit obligations: key actuarial assumptions - refer notes 2r and 18.

  • measurement of useful life and residual values of property, plant and equipment, and Intangible assets -refer note 2l, 2m and 2n.

  • determination of lease term -refer note 2f.

  • judgement required to determine grant date fair value technique -refer notes 2r(iv) and 26.

  • fair value measurement of financial instruments - refer note 27.

  • judgement required to determine probability of recognition of deferred tax assets - refer note 2e.

  • There are no assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year.

w) Exceptional items

Exceptional items refer to items of income or expense within the income statement that are of such size, nature or incidence that their separate disclosure is considered necessary to explain the performance for the year .

  • Following items are evaluated for disclosure as exceptional items:

  • a) Business Combination: Impact of one-time accounting policy alignment / unusual write off / impairment of assets arising as a result of business combination, including transaction cost.

  • b) Fair valuation gains on business combination.

  • c) Reassessment / Change in life of asset (in case of re-evaluation of business/product, impact of all assets specific to that business/ product to be considered for applying the threshold).

  • d) Disputed regulatory / tax levies including tax rate change having retrospective impact (other than impact on account of restatement of deferred tax asset / liability for tax rate change) – only impact for the past periods to be disclosed as exceptional.

  • e) Provision for other than temporary diminution in the value of non-current investment.

  • f) Shareholders’ dispute settlement arising out of merger / acquisition transactions.

  • g) Write-downs of inventories to net realisable value or of property, plant and equipment to recoverable amount, as well as reversals of such write-downs.

  • h) Restructurings of the activities of an entity and reversals of any provisions for the costs of restructuring.

In case of other significant item of income or expense, not covered above, the same would be evaluated on a case to case basis for disclosure under exceptional items.

x) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New and Amended Standards

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. During the year ended March 31, 2025, MCA has notified Ind AS 117 - Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind As 116 – Leases , relating to sale and lease back transactions, applicable from April 1, 2024. The Company has assessed that there is no significant impact on its financial statements.

Standards notified but not yet effective

On May 7, 2025, MCA notifies the amendments to Ind AS 21 - Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. These amendments aim to provide clearer guidance on assessing currency exchangeability and estimating exchange rates when currencies are not readily exchangeable. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2025. The Company is currently assessing the probable impact of these amendments on its financial statements.

(i) Cash Flow Hedge Reserve

The Company uses hedging instruments as part of its management of foreign currency risk associated with highly probable forecasted transactions, i.e., revenue. The Company uses Foreign Currency Forward Contracts which are designated as Cash Flow Hedges for hedging foreign currency risk. To the extent these hedges are effective, the change in fair value of the hedging instrument is recognised in the Cash Flow Hedging Reserve. Amount recognised in the Cash Flow Hedging Reserve is reclassified to profit or loss when the hedged item effects profit and loss, i.e., Revenue.

During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized revenue of Rs. 33.18 Million arising from opening contract liability (deferred revenue).

A receivables is right to consideration that is unconditional upon passage of time.

d. Performance obligation and remaining performance obligation

The remaining performance obligation disclosure provides the aggregate amount of the transaction price yet to be recognized as at the end of the reporting period and an explanation as to when the Company expects to recognize these amounts in revenue. Applying the practical expedient as given in Ind AS 115, the Company has not disclosed the remaining performance obligation related disclosures for contracts where the revenue recognized corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity’s performance completed to date, typically those contracts where invoicing is on time-and-material and unit of work-based contracts. Remaining performance obligation estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidations, adjustment for revenue that has not materialized and adjustments for currency fluctuations.

Estimates of future salary increase considered in actuarial valuation, takes into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market.

vii) Investment details of Plan Assets:-

The expected return on plan assets is determined considering several applicable factors mainly the compensation of plan assets held, assessed risk of asset management, historical result of the return on plan assets.

As at As at
The major categories of plan assets are as follows: March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024
Schemes of insurance - conventional products 100.00% 100.00%
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity of the defned beneft obligation to changes in the weighted principal assumptions is:
Impact on defned beneft obligation
Change in Increase in Decrease in
assumption assumption assumption
March 31, 2025 March 31, 2025 March 31, 2025
Discount rate 0.50% (12.83) 13.76
Salary growth rate 0.50% 13.39 (12.61)
Withdrawal rate 5.00% (19.30) 20.14
Impact on defned beneft obligation
Change in Increase in Decrease in
assumption assumption assumption
March 31, 2024 March 31, 2024 March 31, 2024
Discount rate 0.50% (10.72) 11.49
Salary growth rate 0.50% 11.22 (10.58)
Withdrawal rate 5.00% (14.07) 14.23

The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting year) has been applied for calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

The following payments are expected contributions to the defned beneft plan in future years:-
Less than a year
Between 1-2 years
Between 2-5 years
Over 5 years

Risk exposure

Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are market volatility, changes in inflation, changes in interest rates, rising longevity, changing economic environment, regulatory changes etc. The Company ensures that the investment positions are managed within an asset-liability matching framework that has been developed to achieve investments which are in line with the obligations under the employee benefit plans. Within this framework, the Company’s asset-liability matching objective is to match assets to the obligations by investing in securities to match the benefit payments as they fall due.

The Company actively monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments are matching the expected cash outflows arising from employee benefit obligations. The Company has not changed the processes used to manage its risks from previous periods. Investments are well diversified, such that failure of any single investment should not have a material impact on the overall level of assets.

  • Pursuant to scheme of arrangement, market price, exercise price and fair value of options has been split between the transferee and transferor company based on the net book value of the assets transferred in a demerger bears to the net worth of the transferor Company immediately before such demerger (Refer note 36). ** Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate during a period. Each vest has been considered as a separate grant. The volatility for periods corresponding to the respective expected lives of the different vests, prior to the grant date has been considered. The daily volatility of the Company’s stock price on NSE over these years has been considered.

27 Fair value measurements

(i) Fair value hierarchy

To provide indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard explained below:

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, traded bonds and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments (including bonds) which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing net asset value.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example foreign exchange forward contracts) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included in level 3.

(ii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

  • The use of quoted market prices for similar instruments.

  • The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using Mark to Market Valuation by the respective bank at the balance sheet date.

  • The fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.

The management has assessed that fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, other investments, trade receivables, other financial assets, trade payables and other financial liabilities, approximate their carrying amounts largely due to short-term maturities of these instruments.

28 Financial risk management

The Company’s principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, and cash and short-term deposits that derive directly from its operations.

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company’s senior management is supported by a financial risk committee that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The finance committee provides assurance to the Company’s senior management that the Company’s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company’s policies and risk objectives. All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It is the Company’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below:

(A) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counter party resulting in a financial loss. The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables (net) amounting to Rs. 1,093.90 Million as of March 31, 2025 (Previous year Rs. 851.52 Million), unbilled revenue (net) amounting to Rs. 152.79 Million as of March 31, 2025 (Previous year Rs. 90.83 Million) and security deposits (net) amounting to Rs. 22.72 Million as of March 31, 2025 (Previous year Rs. 20.30 Million). Trade receivables, unbilled revenue and security deposits are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned through individual subsidiaries, government customers and other corporate customers. The Company has used the expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain on trade receivables, unbilled revenue and security deposits, and has provided it wherever appropriate. The following table gives the movement in allowance for expected credit loss for the year ended March 31, 2025:

Add: Allowance for Expected credit loss (net of reversal) (Refer Note 20) 0.29 - -
Loss allowance as on March 31, 2025 86.11 - 0.80

(B) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Company has working capital limits from banks. However, the Company believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.

(i) Maturities of financial liabilities

The amount disclosed in the below table represent the contractual undiscounted cash flows:

The Company has undrawn committed facilities as at March 31, 2025 of Rs. 48 Million (Previous year Rs. Nil) having maturities within one year.

(C) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include deposits, investments measured at FVTPL and derivative financial instruments.

(i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

(ii) Foreign currency risk

The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, and AUD. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the company’s functional currency. The Company evaluates its exchange rate exposure arising from these transactions and enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currency and mitigate such exposure.

The company’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting year expressed in Rs., are as follows:

The primary objective of the management of the Company’s capital structure is to maintain an efficient mix of debt and equity in order to achieve a low cost of capital, while taking into account the desirability of retaining financial flexibility to pursue business opportunities and adequate access to liquidity to mitigate the effect of unforeseen events on cash flows to maximise the shareholder value. Management also monitors the return on equity.

The Board of directors regularly review the Company’s capital structure in light of the economic conditions, business strategies and future commitments.

For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued share capital, securities premium, all other reserves and debt. Debt includes lease liabilities and borrowings.

During the financial year, no significant changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes relating to the management of the Company’s capital structure.

There is no default on the repayment of borrowings (including interest thereon) during the year ended March 31, 2025.

Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ‘Code of Ethics’ issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics.

Other Information

The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated financial statements in terms of the requirements of the Act that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance including other comprehensive income, consolidated cash flows and consolidated statement of changes in equity of the Group in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of their respective companies and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of their respective companies to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of their respective companies.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Holding Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group of which we are the independent auditors and whose financial information we have audited, to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Other Matter

  • (a) We did not audit the financial statements and other financial information, in respect of four subsidiaries, whose financial statements include total assets of Rs. 6,550.75 Million as at March 31, 2025, and total revenues of Rs. 4,132.30 Million and net cash inflows of Rs. 343.71 Million for the year ended on that date. These financial statement and other financial information have been audited by other auditors, which financial statements, other financial information and auditor’s reports have been furnished to us by the management. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries, and our report in terms of sub-sections (3) of section 143 of the Act, in so far as it relates to the aforesaid subsidiaries is based solely on the reports of such other auditors.

  • (b) The accompanying consolidated financial statements include unaudited financial statements and other unaudited financial information in respect of two subsidiaries, whose financial statements and other financial information reflect total assets of Rs. 56.53 Million as at March 31, 2025, and total revenues of Rs. 15.07 Million and net cash outflows of Rs. 4.78 Million for the year ended on that date. These unaudited financial statements and other unaudited financial information have been furnished to us by the management. Our opinion, in so far as it relates amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries and our report in terms of sub-sections (3) of section 143 of the Act in so far as it relates to the aforesaid subsidiaries, is based solely on such unaudited financial statements and other unaudited financial information. In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us by the Management, these financial statements and other financial information are not material to the Group.

Our opinion above on the consolidated financial statements, and our report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements below, is not modified in respect of the above matters with respect to our reliance on the work done and the reports of the other auditors and the financial statements and other financial information certified by the Management.

ANNEXURE 2 TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF NIIT LEARNING SYSTEMS LIMITED

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of NIIT Learning Systems Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “Holding Company”) as of and for the year ended March 31, 2025, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements of the Holding Company and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as “the Group”) , which are companies incorporated in India, as of that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group, which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the respective company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Holding Company’s internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both, issued by ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls With Reference to Consolidated Financial Statements

A company’s internal financial control with reference to consolidated financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control with reference to consolidated financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls With Reference to Consolidated Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Group, which are companies incorporated in India, have maintained in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31,2025, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.

2 Material Accounting Policies

This note provides a list of the Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the period presented, unless otherwise stated.

a) Basis of preparation

(i) Compliance with Ind AS

These consolidated financial statements (‘financial statements’) have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standard (‘Ind AS’) notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended from time to time by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (‘MCA’).

The financial statements are based on the classification provisions contained in Ind AS 1, ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ and division II of schedule III of the Companies Act 2013. Further, for the purpose of clarity, various items are aggregated in the statement of profit and loss and balance sheet. Nonetheless, these items are dis-aggregated separately in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, where applicable or required. All the amounts included in the financial statements are reported in Millions of Indian Rupees (‘Rupees’ or ‘Rs.’) and are rounded to the nearest Million, within two decimals, except per share data and unless stated otherwise.

Reference in these consolidated financial statements to “the Group” shall mean to include NIIT Learning Systems Limited and its subsidiaries, consolidated in these financial statements, unless otherwise stated.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current and non-current as per the Group’s normal operating cycle. Based on the nature of services rendered to customers and time elapsed between deployment of resources and the realisation in cash and cash equivalents of the consideration for such services rendered, the Group has considered an operating cycle of 12 months.

(ii) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:

a) financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) are measured at fair value or amortised cost.

b) defined benefit plans – plan assets measured at fair value.

c) share-based payments (ESOP’s) are measured at fair value.

b) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) made up to 31 March each year. Control is achieved when the Company:

• has the power over the investee;

• is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

• has the ability to use its power to affects its returns.

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it considers that it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:

• the size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2025

Contd...

  • potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;

  • rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

• any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in profit or loss from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with the Group’s accounting policies. The financial statements of the Subsidiaries are consolidated on a line-by-line basis.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between the members of the Group are eliminated on consolidation.

c) Foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (Rs.), which is the Group’s presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss. They are deferred in equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange differences regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the consolidated statement of profit and loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated statement of profit and loss on a net basis within other gains/ (losses).

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

(iii) Foreign operations

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet

  • income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and

  • All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, when the gain or loss on disposal is recognised.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

d) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the transaction price of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, discounts and taxes.

When two or more revenue generating activities or deliverables are provided under a single arrangement, each deliverable that is considered to be a separate deliverable is accounted separately. Where the contracts include multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the standalone selling prices. Where the standalone selling prices are not directly observable, these are estimated based on expected cost plus margin or residual method to allocate the total transaction price. In cases of residual method, the standalone selling price is estimated by reference to the total transaction price less the sum of the observable standalone selling prices of other goods or services promised in the contract.

Services are provided under time and material contracts and fixed price contracts. Revenue from providing services is recognised over a period of time in the accounting period in which services are rendered. The revenue from time and material contracts is recognised at the amount to which the Group has right to invoice.

In respect of fixed price contracts, revenue is recognised based on the technical evaluation of utilization of services as per the proportionate completion method when no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration that will be determined from rendering the service. The customer pays the fixed amount based on a payment schedule. If the services rendered by the Company exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognised. If the payment exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognised. Revenue from training is recognised over the period of delivery. The foreseeable losses on completion of contract, if any, are provided for.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2025

Contd...

Estimates of revenues, costs or extent of progress towards completion are revised if circumstances change. Any resulting increase or decrease in estimated revenues or costs are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known to management.

On certain contracts, where the Group acts as agent, only commission and fees receivable for services rendered are recognised as revenue. Any third party costs incurred on behalf of the principal that are rechargeable under the contractual arrangement are not included in revenue. Revenue in respect of sale of courseware and other physical deliverables is recognised at a point in time when these are delivered, the legal title is passed and the customer has accepted the courseware and other physical deliverables.

Revenues in excess of invoicing are treated as contract assets while invoicing in excess of revenues are treated as contract liabilities. The Group classifies amounts due from customer but not billed as unbilled revenue or contract assets depending on whether the Group has an unconditional right to receive the sale consideration. If only the passage of time is required before receipt of consideration is due, then the amounts due are classified as unbilled revenue under other financial assets, otherwise, such amounts are classified as contract assets under other current assets.

e) Other Income

Other income mainly comprises interest income on bank and other deposits, profit on sale of property, plant and equipments, common resources cost recovery, mutual fund and exchange differences. Interest income is recognized using effective interest rate method taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate of Interest applicable (refer policy to investment and other financial assets).

f) Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current tax expense and the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year. Current and deferred taxes are recognised in statement of profit and loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current income taxes

The current income tax expense includes income taxes payable by the Company, its branches and its subsidiaries in India and overseas. The current tax payable by the Company and its subsidiaries in India is Indian income tax payable on worldwide income after taking credit for tax relief available.

The current income tax expense for overseas subsidiaries has been computed based on the tax laws applicable to each subsidiary in the respective jurisdiction in which it operates.

Advance taxes and provisions for current income taxes are presented in the balance sheet after off-setting advance tax paid and income tax provision arising in the same tax jurisdiction and where the relevant tax paying unit intends to settle the asset and liability on a net basis.

Deferred income taxes

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in subsidiaries and branches where the group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in subsidiaries and branches where it is not probable that the differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will not be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

Deferred tax is recognised on any unrealised profits/losses arising from intra-group transactions.

g) Leases

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Group as a Lessee

The Group accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative standalone price of the lease component and the aggregate standalone price of the non-lease components.

Right-of-use assets

The Group recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation,

Contd...

accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Lease liabilities

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Group changes its assessment to whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

Lease liability and Right-of-use assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and Lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

The Group has elected to not recognize leases with a lease term of 12 months or less in the consolidated balance sheet, and lease costs for those short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.

h) Business Combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their acquisition date fair values. For this purpose, the liabilities assumed include contingent liabilities representing present obligation and they are measured at their acquisition fair values irrespective of the fact that outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is not probable.

Purchase consideration paid in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. Where the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities exceed the cost of acquisition, after reassessing the fair values of the net assets and contingent liabilities, the excess is recognised as capital reserve.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income, as appropriate.

When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against Goodwill/capital reserve. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Other contingent consideration is remeasured to fair value at subsequent reporting dates with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

i) Investments and other financial assets

(i) Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

• those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and

• those measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

(ii) Measurement

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit

Contd...

or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

Financial Assets

Subsequent measurement of Financial Assets depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the group classifies its Financial assets: Amortised Cost : Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost.

Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of the contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the asset’s cash flow represents solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/ (losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.

Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL): Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) are measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss and presented net in the statement of profit and loss within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.

Equity Instruments

Where the group’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss as other income when the group’s right to receive payments is established. The Group subsequently measures all equity instruments at fair value.

(iii) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on investments in debt instruments that are measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI, trade receivables and contract assets, financial guarantee contracts, and certain other financial assets measured at amortised cost such as deferred consideration receivable on disposal of subsidiaries. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.

The Group recognises lifetime expected credit losses (ECL) for trade receivables and contract assets. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate.

For all other financial instruments, the Group recognises lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. However, if the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL.

Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

(iv) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised only when

• The Group has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or

• retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Group evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.

Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Group has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Group retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

j) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

k) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently adjusted for expected credit loss using the effective interest method.

l) Inventories

Traded goods are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost of traded goods comprises cost of purchases and all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis weighted-average. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

m) Derivatives and hedging activities

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged and the type of hedge relationship designated.

Cash flow hedges when hedging the exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction.

At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes the Group’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge, the hedging/ economic relationship, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, hedge ratio and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated.

The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months; it is classified as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months.

Cash flow hedges that qualify for hedge accounting

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in the other comprehensive income in cash flow hedging reserve within equity, limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item on a present value basis from the inception of the hedge. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion, if any, is recognised immediately in profit or loss, within other gains/(losses).

Forward contracts are used to hedge forecast transactions, the group generally designates only the change in fair value of the forward contract related to the spot component as the hedging instrument. Gains or losses relating to the effective portion of the change in the spot component of the forward contracts are recognised in other comprehensive income in cash flow hedging reserve within equity. The change in the forward element of the contract that relates to the hedged item (‘aligned forward element’) is recognised within other comprehensive income in the costs of hedging reserve within equity. In some cases, the Group may designate the full change in fair value of the forward contract (including forward points) as the hedging instrument. In such cases, the gains and losses relating to the effective portion of the change in fair value of the entire forward contract are recognised in the cash flow hedging reserve within equity.

Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss (for example, when the forecast sale that is hedged takes place).

When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative deferred gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging in equity at that time remains in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. When the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging that were reported in equity are immediately reclassified to profit or loss within other gains/(losses).

If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes is no longer optimal but the risk management objective remains unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by adjusting either the volume of the hedging instrument or the volume of the hedged item so that the hedge ratio aligns with the ratio used for risk management purposes. Any hedge ineffectiveness is calculated and accounted for in profit or loss at the time of the hedge relationship rebalancing.

n) Property, plant and equipment

The Group had applied for the one-time transition exemption of considering the carrying cost on the transition date i.e. April 01, 2016 as the deemed cost under Ind AS, regarded thereafter as historical cost.

All items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is de-recognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as follows :

Description of Assets Useful life
Plant and Equipments including:
- Computers, Printers and related accessories
- Computer Servers and Networks
- Electronic Equipments
- Air Conditioners
3 Years
5 Years
8 Years
10 Years
Ofce Equipments other than mentioned below:-
-Solar Power Plant
-DG Set
5 years
15 years
10 years
Furniture, Fixtures & Electric Fittings 7 years
Leasehold Improvements 3-5 years or lease period, whichever is lower
Vehicle under Company Car Scheme 4-5 years
All other assets (including vehicles) Lives prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013

Depreciation is provided on a pro-rata basis on the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. The depreciation charge for each period is recognised in the Statement of Consolidated Profit and Loss. The residual values is considered as nil.

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within income/ (expense).

o) Intangible Assets

Computer software, Educational content/products - Acquired

These Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Software tools, platforms, Courseware and contents-Internally generated including intangible assets under development

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:

  • it is technically feasible to complete the development so that it will be available for use;

  • management intends to complete the content/products and use or sell it;

  • there is an ability to use or sell the content/products;

  • it can be demonstrated how the content/products will generate probable future economic benefits;

• adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the content/products are available, and

• the expenditure attributable to the software during its development can be reliably measured.

Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the intangible include employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads.

Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the asset is available for use.

Goodwill

Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Brand, Consultant’s Pool and Customer Relationships

Brand, Consultant’s Pool and Customer Relationships acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. They have a finite useful life and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses except the brand of Life Science Business, which is indefinite.

Amortisation methods and periods

Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives which are as follows:

Particulars Useful life
Internally Generated (software tools, platforms, Courseware and contents)
- School based non - IT content
- Others
10 Years
3-5 Years
Acquired (Software, contents and products) 3-5 Years
Patents 3-5 Years
Brand 10 Years
Consultant's Pool 7 Years
Customer Relationships 4 Years

p) Impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. The units or Group’s units are identified at the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, which in our case are the operating segments.

Other assets including brand are tested annually for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units).

q) Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. Changes in fair value of such liability are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

The Group’s financial liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at net of transaction costs and includes trade payables, borrowings including bank overdrafts and other payables.

After initial recognition, financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method except for deferred consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

r) Borrowings cost

Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

s) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

Provisions are recognised when the group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2025

Contd...

Provisions for onerous contracts are recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established the Group recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

The Group uses significant judgements to assess contingent liabilities. Contingent liabilities are recognised when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the Consolidated financial statements.

t) Cost Recognition

Costs and expenses are recognised when incurred and have been classified according to their primary nature. The costs of the Group are broadly categorised in Professional & technical outsourcing expenses, employee benefit expenses, purchases of stock-in-trade, depreciation and amortisation, finance cost and other expenses. Professional & technical outsourcing expenses include service and delivery charges including any incidental expenses thereto. Employee costs include employee compensation, allowances paid, contribution to various funds, share based payments and staff welfare expenses. Other expenses majorly include rental, travelling and conveyance, legal and professional fees, marketing and advertising expenses, allowances for expected credit loss and other expenses.

u) Employee benefits

I. Short-term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

II. Other long-term employee benefit obligations

The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

III. Post-employment obligations

  • The group operates the following post-employment schemes:

  • Defined benefit plans such as Gratuity and Compensated absences

  • Defined contribution plan such as Provident fund, Superannuation fund, Pension fund, National Pension System, and Overseas plans.

Gratuity

The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation denominated in Rs. is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.

The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the consolidated statement of changes in equity and in the consolidated balance sheet.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.

Compensated absences

Liability in respect of compensated absences is provided for both encashable leave and those expected to be availed. The Group has defined benefit plans for compensated absences for employees, the liability for which is determined on the basis of an actuarial valuation at the end of the year using projected unit credit method. Any gain or loss arising out of such valuation is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of profit and loss as income or expense as the case may be.

Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed within twelve months from the end of the year are treated as short term employee benefits. The obligation towards the same is measured at the expected undiscounted cost of accumulated compensated absences expected to be availed based on the unutilised entitlement at the year end.

Provident fund

The Company’s contribution towards Provident Fund is charged to Consolidated statement of profit and loss. Provident fund contributions are made to the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner in accordance with the Employee Provident Fund Rules and are accounted as defined contribution plans and charged to consolidated statement of profit and loss.

Superannuation fund

The Group makes defined contribution to the Trust established for the purpose by the Holding company towards superannuation fund maintained with Life Insurance Corporation of India. The Group has no further obligations beyond its monthly contributions. Contribution made during the year is charged to Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

Pension fund

The Group makes defined contribution to a government administered pension fund towards it’s pension plan on behalf of its employees. The Group has no further obligations beyond its monthly contributions. The contribution towards Employee Pension Scheme is charged to Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

Overseas Plans

In respect of the subsidiaries incorporated outside India, the subsidiaries make defined contributions on a monthly basis towards the respective retirement plans which are charged to Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. These subsidiaries have no further obligation towards the respective retirement benefits.

National Pension System

The Group makes defined contribution towards National Pension System for certain employees for which Group has no further obligation. Contributions made during the year are charged to Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

IV. Share based payments - Employee stock option plan (ESOP)

The Company operates equity settled employee stock options plan. The fair value of options granted under the ‘NLSL ESOP 2023-0’ is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:

  • including any market performance conditions (e.g., the entity’s share price)

  • excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (e.g. profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period), and

  • including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (e.g. the requirement for employees to save or hold shares for a specific period of time).

The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

v) Share capital

Equity share capital

Issuance of ordinary shares are recognised as equity share capital in equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new equity shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

w) Dividends

The final dividend on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees. Companies are required to pay/distribute dividend after deducting applicable taxes. The remittance of dividends outside India is governed by Indian law on foreign exchange and is also subject to withholding tax at applicable rates.

x) Earnings per share

i. Basic earnings per share

  • Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Group by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year.

ii. Diluted earnings per share

  • Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

  • the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and

  • the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

y) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively. Information about significant areas of estimation/uncertainty and judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the financial statements are as follows:

Measurement of defined benefit obligations: key actuarial assumptions- refer notes 2 u.

Measurement of useful life and residual values of property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets -refer note 2 n and o.

Significant estimates and Judgement involved for impairment assessments of Goodwill and Brand-refer note 2 o and p.

Determination of lease term and contingent consideration Refer notes 2 g, q and 6.

Judgement required to determine grant date fair value technique -refer notes 2 u(iv) and 25.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments - refer note 26.

Judgement required to determine probability of recognition of deferred tax assets - refer note 2 f.

There are no assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year.

z) Exceptional items

Exceptional items refer to items of income or expense within the income statement that are of such size, nature or incidence that their separate disclosure is considered necessary to explain the performance for the period.

Following items are evaluated for disclosure as exceptional items:

  • a) Business Combination: Impact of one-time accounting policy alignment / unusual write off / impairment of assets arising as a result of business combination, including transaction cost.

  • b) Fair valuation gains on business combination.

  • c) Reassessment / Change in life of asset (in case of re-evaluation of business/product, impact of all assets specific to that business/ product to be considered for applying the threshold).

  • d) Disputed regulatory / tax levies including tax rate change having retrospective impact (other than impact on account of restatement of deferred tax asset / liability for tax rate change) – only impact for the past periods to be disclosed as exceptional.

  • e) Provision for other than temporary diminution in the value of non-current investment.

  • f) Shareholders’ dispute settlement arising out of merger / acquisition transactions.

  • g) Write-downs of inventories to net realisable value or of property, plant and equipment to recoverable amount, as well as reversals of such write-downs.

  • h) Restructurings of the activities of an entity and reversals of any provisions for the costs of restructuring.

In case of other significant item of income or expense, not covered above, the same would be evaluated on a case to case basis for disclosure under exceptional items.

aa) Recent accounting pronouncements

New and Amended Standards

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. During the year ended March 31, 2025, MCA has notified Ind AS 117 - Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind As 116 – Leases , relating to sale and lease back transactions, applicable from April 1, 2024. The Group has assessed that there is no significant impact on its financial statements.

Standards notified but not yet effective

On May 7, 2025, MCA notifies the amendments to Ind AS 21 - Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. These amendments aim to provide clearer guidance on assessing currency exchangeability and estimating exchange rates when currencies are not readily exchangeable. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2025. The Group is currently assessing the probable impact of these amendments on its financial statements.

4(iii) Impairment testing of goodwill and other intangible assets having indefinite useful lives

For impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to a Cash Generating Unit (CGU) representing the lowest level within the Group at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, and which is not higher than the Group’s operating segment. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the Group’s procedure for determining the recoverable value of each CGU.

The following table sets out the net carrying amount of goodwill & brand (having indefinite useful lives) allocated to CGUs:

Particulars St. Charles
Consulting Group
Life Sciences Practice Life Sciences Practice Total
Goodwill Goodwill Brand
As at March 31, 2025 4,131.67 387.52 103.40 4,622.59
As at March 31, 2024 4,029.57 377.94 100.85 4,508.36

The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined on the basis of discounted cash flows (DCF). The DCF of the CGU is determined based on estimation of the cash flows, the Group is expected to generate based on board approved budget and projections of next five years approved by the senior management including terminal value.

St. Charles Consulting Group

The recoverable amount of the St. Charles Consulting Group has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections approved by senior management. Based on which, it was concluded that the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying value. As a result of this analysis, the Group has not recognised any impairment charge against goodwill in the consolidated statement of profit and loss for the year ended March 31, 2025.

Life Sciences Practice

The recoverable amount of the Life Science Practice CGU has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections approved by senior management. Based on which, it was concluded that the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying value. As a result of this analysis, the Group has not recognised any impairment charge against goodwill and brand in the consolidated statement of profit and loss for the year ended March 31, 2025.

Key Assumptions used in calculations of impairment testing:

i) Discount rates - Discount rates represent the current market assessment of the risks specific to each CGU, taking into consideration the time value of money and individual risks of the underlying assets that have not been incorporated in the cash flow estimates. The discount rate calculation is based on the specific circumstances of the Group and its operating segments and is derived from its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The WACC takes into account both debt and equity. The cost of equity is derived from the expected return on investment by the Group’s investors. The cost of debt is based on the interest-bearing borrowings the Group is obliged to service. Segmentspecific risk is incorporated by applying individual beta factors. The beta factors are evaluated annually based on publicly available market data.

Assumptions of discount rates used in impairment testing is as under:

CGU Unit March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024
St. Charles Consulting Group 7.96% 7.31%
Life Sciences Practice 7.96% 7.31%

ii) Growth rate estimates – Rates are based on published industry research. Management recognises that the possibility of new entrants can have a significant impact on growth rate assumptions. The effect of new entrants is not expected to have an adverse impact on the forecasts.

Assumptions of growth rates used in impairment testing is as under:

Footnotes for Nature and purpose of Reserves:

(i) Cash Flow Hedge Reserve

The Group uses hedging instruments as part of its management of foreign currency risk associated with term loan and highly probable forecasted transactions, i.e., revenue. The Group uses Foreign Currency Forward Contracts which are designated as Cash Flow Hedges for hedging foreign currency risk. To the extent these hedges are effective, the change in fair value of the hedging instrument is recognised in the Cash Flow Hedging Reserve. Amount recognised in the Cash Flow Hedging Reserve is reclassified to Consolidated Profit or Loss when the hedged item effects profit and loss.

(ii) Foreign Currency Translation Reserve

Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign operations are recognised in other comprehensive income as described in accounting policy and accumulated in a separate reserve within equity. On disposal of such entities the deferred cumulative exchange differences recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.

(iii) Equity instruments through other comprehensive income

The Group has elected to recognise changes in the fair value of certain investments in equity securities in other comprehensive income. These changes are accumulated within the Equity instruments through Other Comprehensive Income within equity. The Group transfers amounts from this reserve to retained earnings when the relevant equity securities are derecognised.

A sum of Rs. Nil (Previous year Rs. Nil) is recognised as allowance for expected credit loss (net of reversal) on unbilled revenue during the year.

A receivables is right to consideration that is unconditional upon passage of time.

If only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due, the amount is classified as unbilled revenue under other financial assets. Otherwise, such amounts are classified as contract assets.

d. Performance obligation and remaining performance obligation

The remaining performance obligation disclosure provides the aggregate amount of the transaction price yet to be recognized as at the end of the reporting period and an explanation as to when the Group expects to recognize these amounts in revenue. Applying the practical expedient as given in Ind AS 115, the Group has not disclosed the remaining performance obligation related disclosures for contracts where the revenue recognized corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity’s performance completed to date, typically those contracts where invoicing is on time-and-material and unit of work-based contracts. Remaining performance obligation estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidations, adjustment for revenue that has not materialized and adjustments for currency fluctuations.

Estimates of future salary increase considered in actuarial valuation, takes into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market.

vii) Investment details of Plan Assets:-

The expected return on plan assets is determined considering several applicable factors mainly the compensation of plan assets held, assessed risk of asset management, historical result of the return on plan assets.

The above sensitivity analysis are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied for calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

Risk exposure

Through its defined benefit plans, the Group is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are market volatility, changes in inflation, changes in interest rates, rising longevity, changing economic environment, regulatory changes etc. The Group ensures that the investment positions are managed within an asset-liability matching framework that has been developed to achieve investments which are in line with the obligations under the employee benefit plans. Within this framework, the Group’s asset-liability matching objective is to match assets to the obligations by investing in securities to match the benefit payments as they fall due.

The Group actively monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments are matching the expected cash outflows arising from employee benefit obligations. The Group has not changed the processes used to manage its risks from previous periods. Investments are well diversified, such that failure of any single investment should not have a material impact on the overall level of assets.

*Pursuant to Scheme of arrangement, Market price, exercise price and fair value of options has been split between the transferee and transferor company based on the net book value of the assets transferred in a demerger bears to the net worth of the transferor company immediately before such demerger (Refer note 37).

**Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate during a period. Each vest has been considered as a separate grant. The volatility for periods corresponding to the respective expected lives of the different vests, prior to the grant date has been considered. The daily volatility of the Company’s stock price on NSE over these years has been considered.

26 Fair value measurements

(i) Fair value hierarchy

  • To provide indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard explained below:

Level 1: Hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, traded bonds and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments (including bonds) which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing net asset value.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example foreign exchange forward contracts) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included in level 3.

The Group’s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels at the end of reporting period.

(ii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

  • The use of quoted market prices for similar instruments.

  • The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using Mark to Market Valuation by the respective bank at the balance sheet date.

  • The fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.

The management has assessed that fair value of all other financial assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, other investments, trade receivables, other financial assets, trade payables and other financial liabilities, approximate their carrying amounts largely due to short-term maturities of these instruments. Contingent consideration is calculated on the basis of discounted cash flow method technique.

Inputs used in the valuation models

(a) Financial liability for future contingent consideration:

(i) Revenue inputs - Based on past performance and management’s expectations for the future.

(ii) EBITDA margin - Based on past performance and management’s expectations for the future.

(iii) WACC - Reflect specific risks relating to the relevant geography in which they operate. Significant unobservable input to valuation are as follows:

a) EBITDA margin in the range of 25% to 26%

b) WACC - March 31, 2025 : 7.96% and March 31, 2024 : 7.31%

Management has performed a sensitivity analysis on the key unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the contingent consideration as at March 31, 2025. 1% change in the revenue, EBITDA margin or WACC assumptions would not result in a significant change in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability.

27 Financial risk management

The Group’s principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group’s operations and to provide guarantees to support its operations. The Group’s principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, cash and short-term deposits that derive directly from its operations.

The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Group’s senior management is supported by a financial risk committee that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Group. The finance committee provides assurance to the Group’s senior management that the Group’s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Group’s policies and risk objectives. All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It is the Group’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below:

(A) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counter party resulting in a financial loss. The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables (net) amounting to Rs. 2,515.09 Million and Rs. 2,250.47 Million as of March 31,

(All Amounts in Rs. Million, unless otherwise stated)

2025 and March 31, 2024 respectively, unbilled revenue (net) amounting to Rs. 870.33 Million and Rs. 638.23 Million as of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 respectively and security deposits (net) amounting to Rs. 44.08 Million and Rs. 35.93 Million as of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 respectively.

Trade receivables, unbilled revenue and security deposits are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned through government customers and other corporate customers. The Group has used the expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain on trade receivables, unbilled revenue and security deposits, and has provided it wherever appropriate. The following table gives the movement in allowance for expected credit loss for the year ended March 31, 2025:

(B) Liquidity risk

The Group’s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Group has outstanding borrowings as term loans and working capital limits from banks. The term loans are secured by a charge on the book debts and movable & immovable assets of the relevant entities. However, the Group believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2025

(All Amounts in Rs. Million, unless otherwise stated)

(C) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, investments measured at FVTPL and derivative financial instruments.

(i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from the foreign currency term loan carrying at floating rate of interest. These obligations exposes the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group has mitigated the interest rate risk on foreign currency term loan by converting it from floating rate to fixed rate through currency swap. Hence, there is no significant challenge of interest rate risk.

(ii) Foreign currency risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the SGD, USD, EUR, NOK, GBP, AUD and CHF. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the company’s functional currency (Rs.). The Group evaluates its exchange rate exposure arising from these transactions and enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currency and mitigate such exposure.

The Group’s exposure to major foreign currencies at the end of the reporting year are as follows:

** NIIT Ireland limited (Wholly owned Subsidiary), has given loan to NIIT (USA) Inc, USA (Wholly owned Subsidiary) amounting to USD 10 Million which has been hedged by NIIT Ireland Limited through forward contract. This loan has been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

28 Capital management

The primary objective of the management of the Group’s capital structure is to maintain an efficient mix of debt and equity in order to achieve a low cost of capital, while taking into account the desirability of retaining financial flexibility to pursue business opportunities and adequate access to liquidity to mitigate the effect of unforeseen events on cash flows to maximise the shareholder value. Management also monitors the return on equity.

The Board of Directors regularly review the Group’s capital structure in light of the economic conditions, business strategies and future commitments.

For the purpose of the Group’s capital management, capital includes issued share capital, securities premium and all other equity reserves. Debt includes, foreign currency term loan, lease liabilities and borrowings.

Loans availed by the Group are subject to certain financial covenants and the Group is compliant with these financial covenants on the reporting date as per the terms of the loan agreement.

There is no default on the repayment of borrowings (including interest thereon) during the year ended March 31, 2025.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
