Looking ahead to Q3, our priorities include enhancing faculty capabilities, accelerating digital-led admissions, deepening partnerships with universities and corporates, introducing high-value courses, and optimizing marketing efforts.

The company spun off its vocational segment, generating a one-time gain of INR 133 crore, while associated amortization and processing costs were accounted for as part of one-off expense. Combined with its ongoing focus on an asset-light model and balance sheet deleveraging, this contributed to a strong PAT of INR 23.3 crore for the quarter, up 185% YoY, underscoring a sustainable and profitable growth trajectory.

Note: There were two extraordinary events happened during the quarter, one being redemption of INR 315 Cr of Non Convertible debentures and Disinvestment of vocational segment, due to above events current quarter results have one-time items shown below, which are non-recurring from next quarter
