Limited. We have on call with us Mr. Suresh Kalpathi, Chairman and Executive Director; and
Mr. Mohasin Khan, the Chief Financial Officer. We must remind you that discussion on today's

I now request the management to take us through the business update. And post that, we'll open

Suresh Kalpathi: Thank you. Thank you, Soumya. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us today.
On behalf of the entire leadership team, I sincerely appreciate your continued engagement and
confidence in Veranda Learning Solutions. Before I talk about our performance, a word on the
environment we are operating in.
India's education and skilling landscape continues to see structural tailwinds, growing emphasis
on employability linked learning, rising aspiration for competitive government examinations,
deeper penetration of a digital-first delivery model and, of course, an increasing willingness
among students and parents to invest in outcome-oriented programs, whether it is in commerce,
academics or in test prep.
This continues to validate the direction of our Veranda 2.0 strategy, which, as you know, has
been built around scalable asset-light delivery of high-quality outcome-driven education. Now
against this backdrop, we are pleased to report a strong start to financial year '27.
We delivered broad-based momentum across our portfolio in the first quarter of this year, led
by exceptional performance in the commerce and government test prep businesses, while our
K-12 business segment continues to strengthen its foundation through investments in systems,
partnerships and brand building that we expect will translate into stronger growth over the
coming quarters.
On the revenue front, the revenue from operations grew a strong 42% year-on-year to about
INR150 crores in the first quarter of financial year '27, while PAT more than multiplied sixfold
to INR34 crores compared to the same quarter last year, up 472% year-on-year from INR5.9
crores in the first quarter of FY26, our sixth consecutive quarter of PAT positive performance.

Overall enrollments during the quarter grew 35% year-on-year to about 1.03 lakh students,
while collections grew 27% year-on-year, reflecting a healthy demand and robust execution
across all our business segments. Each of these segments is being driven by distinct well-defined
growth levers.
In commerce, we recently launched Commerce Virtuals, a live and recorded digital delivery
format for Class 11 and Class 12 students, giving us pan-India's reach without additional
physical infrastructure while continuing to expand our offline network, which now spans
incidentally over 105 centers with 50 new commerce colleges under management in the
pipeline.
This segment continues to be a category leader, holding the number one market position across
CA, CS, CMA, ACCA and many other programs that we already offer. In the government test
preparation space, growth was driven by the launch of our new offerings, including Group 1
offline programs, junior IAS for students in schools final years and subscription-based
magazines alongside our RACE platform's network of centers and a diverse exam portfolio
spanning UPSC, SSC, banking, Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission, Kerala Public Service
Commission and other state Public Service Commission exams.
In academics and K-12, we continue to build out our managed schools opportunity, a large
underpenetrated market worth over INR10 lakh crores across just South India. We currently
manage six schools with over 5,400 students on an asset-light end-to-end managed services
model and are targeting to expand the number of schools that we manage, supported by steady
occupancy and fee growth dynamics in the coming years.
Turning now to the Commerce demerger process. We continue to make good progress and
remain on track. The Board approved the composite scheme of demerger in late 2025, and we
subsequently filed the scheme with NSE and BSE, receiving their new addiction certificates
from both exchanges in January of 2026.
Following the NCLT directed court convened meeting in March, shareholders voted in favor of
the scheme at the court convened meeting held in April, and we filed the second motion with
the NCLT with all appropriate papers that same month. The next NCLT hearing is scheduled in
Chennai on 17th August, which is coming Monday, and we expect the entire process to be
completed by possibly the first half of September 2026, which is next month.
Upon completion, JK Shah Commerce Education Limited will be separately listed with every
Veranda shareholder receiving 1 share in the newly listed entity on a 1:1 basis at no additional
cost, enabling sharper strategic focus, more efficient capital allocation and long-term value
creation for all our shareholders. Post demerger, the Commerce business will target a significant
revenue growth over the next three, four years through product and geographic expansion with
a long-term aspiration of crossing INR1,000 crores of revenue by September -- by financial year
2030.
On strategic priorities and outlook for FY27, our focus is clear and fourfold: expanding our
government test preparation business into Karnataka to tap the state-level competitive exam
