Veranda Learning Solutions – Management Statement on Q1FY27 Performance
Mr. Suresh S. Kalpathi, Executive Director and Chairman of Veranda Learning Solutions, said, “We began FY27 on a strong note, with broad-based momentum across our portfolio, led by exceptional performance in the Commerce and Government Test Preparation businesses, while our K12 segment continued to strengthen its foundation through investments in systems, partnerships and brand-building that are expected to translate into stronger growth over the coming quarters.
On the financial note, we delivered a strong revenue growth of 42% on a YoY basis, while our PAT outperformed, multiplying 6 times to INR 34 cr, which is up 472%. Overall enrolments during the quarter increased by 35% YoY to 1.03 lakh students, while collections grew by 27% YoY, reflecting healthy demand and robust execution across our business segments.
We also made meaningful progress on our strategic priorities. The proposed Commerce demerger continues to advance as planned and remains a key milestone in unlocking long-term shareholder value. Post-demerger, both businesses will have sharper strategic focus, greater operational agility and dedicated capital allocation, enabling them to pursue their respective growth opportunities more effectively.
Across the organisation, we will continue to focus on digital-led admissions, expanding university and corporate partnerships, launching higher-value programmes and driving operating leverage. These initiatives, coupled with disciplined execution, position us well to deliver sustainable growth, improve profitability and create long-term value for all stakeholders.”
