Aptech Limited has submitted its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, to the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India. The report, filed on August 28, 2026, discloses consolidated operational data, environmental impact metrics, and social responsibility initiatives for the period April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026.

The company reported a turnover of ₹5,034.25 crore and a net worth of ₹2,486.17 crore as of March 31, 2026. Its business operations are split between retail domestic and international training, which accounts for 77% of turnover, and institutional training solutions, contributing 23%. Exports contributed 6.21% to the total turnover.

Operational Footprint

Aptech operates through 55 offices in India across 26 states and 2 international offices in Malaysia and Dubai, serving markets in 16 countries. The workforce consists of 626 employees, comprising 454 permanent staff and 172 non-permanent employees. There were no workers categorized under the manufacturing definition.

Employee Category Total Count Male Female
Permanent Employees 454 332 (73.13%) 122 (26.87%)
Other than Permanent 172 153 (88.95%) 19 (11.05%)
Total Employees 626 485 (77.48%) 141 (22.52%)

The turnover rate for permanent employees was 28.10% in FY26, compared to 28.52% in FY25 and 24.86% in FY24. Women constitute 10% of the Board of Directors and 25% of Key Management Personnel.

Environmental Metrics

The company’s total energy consumption from non-renewable sources was 2,741 GJ in FY26, down from 3,073 GJ in FY25. This reduction includes a drop in electricity consumption from 3,032 GJ to 2,728 GJ. Total water withdrawal decreased to 4,374 kilolitres from 4,536 kilolitres in the previous year. Greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) totaled 491.43 tonnes of CO2 equivalent in FY26, compared to 495.86 tonnes in FY25.

Environmental Metric FY26 FY25
Total Energy Consumption (Non-renewable) 2,741 GJ 3,073 GJ
Total Water Withdrawal 4,374 KL 4,536 KL
Scope 1 & 2 GHG Emissions 491.43 tonnes CO2e 495.86 tonnes CO2e
Total Waste Generated 7.48 metric tonnes 6.34 metric tonnes

Waste generation increased slightly to 7.48 metric tonnes, primarily driven by non-hazardous waste (7.43 metric tonnes). The company reported no renewable energy consumption and no zero liquid discharge mechanisms, citing the nature of its service-based business.

Social Responsibility and Governance

Aptech holds certifications including ISO 9001:2015, ISO 27001, and CMMi Level 5. It received 634 customer complaints in FY26, with 8 pending resolution at year-end, up from 593 complaints and 2 pending in FY25. No complaints were received regarding sexual harassment, discrimination, or child labour. The company reported nil penalties or fines related to regulatory or law enforcement agencies.

Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives benefited over 17,000 individuals, primarily from vulnerable and marginalized groups, through partners such as Ugam Education Foundation and Children's Movement for Civic Awareness. The company sources 6.85% of its input material directly from MSMEs, an increase from 6% in FY25.

What the Numbers Show

Aptech’s energy intensity per rupee of turnover improved significantly, dropping from 0.00000066788/GJ in FY25 to 0.00000054444/GJ in FY26. This efficiency gain occurred despite a stable operational footprint, suggesting better resource utilization relative to revenue generation. However, waste intensity per rupee of turnover rose marginally from 0.000000013776 to 0.000000014854, indicating a slight divergence between energy efficiency and waste management outcomes.

How might the persistent high turnover rate of 28.10% among permanent employees impact Aptech's ability to retain institutional training contracts and maintain service quality in FY27?

Given the zero renewable energy consumption, what specific initiatives or capital expenditures is Aptech planning to implement to reduce its reliance on non-renewable sources in the near future?

Will the slight increase in waste generation and waste intensity per rupee trigger new internal compliance measures or affect Aptech's ESG ratings from major financial indices?
