Management Changes

Ms. Shruti Manoj Bapaye was appointed as the new Company Secretary cum Compliance Officer and Senior Management Personnel designated as Key Managerial Personnel, effective August 12, 2026.

What the Numbers Show
The financial data indicates a stabilization in profitability after a dip in Q4FY26. While consolidated net profit saw a slight year-on-year contraction, the sequential improvement from Q4FY26 suggests operational recovery. The marginal compression in EBITDA margin to 26.29% from 26.52% reflects broadly stable operating efficiency. The significant drop in other income in both standalone and consolidated figures compared to Q4FY26 highlights that the current quarter's performance is driven primarily by core educational operations rather than non-operating gains. The inclusion of UniformVerse Pvt Ltd, whose unaudited results contributed ₹282.22 lakhs to the group's profit after tax, underscores the subsidiary's material impact on the consolidated bottom line.
