Veranda Learning Solutions Limited reported a strong set of results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 (Q2 FY26), with consolidated revenue from operations rising 20% year-on-year to Rs 126.7 crore, supported by growth across AI-focused courses, corporate training, and university partnerships.

The company’s EBITDA surged 63% YoY to Rs 48.3 crore, with margins expanding by 1,017 basis points to 38%, driven by cost optimization and operational efficiency. Net profit stood at Rs 23.3 crore, up 185% year-on-year, aided by the disinvestment of its vocational segment and deleveraging initiatives.

Veranda also completed a qualified institutional placement (QIP) of Rs 357 crore, with about 87% of proceeds used to repay high-interest debt. The company demerged its commerce vertical into a new entity — JK Shah Commerce Education Ltd — and sold its vocational arm to form a 50:50 global venture with SNVA EduTech.

Segment-wise, the Commerce Test Prep division led growth with a 68% year-on-year revenue rise to Rs 86 crore, while the Academic and Government Test Prep segments registered steady performance.

Executive Director and Chairman Suresh S. Kalpathi said the results reflect strong momentum across all verticals and mark the success of Veranda’s operational and strategic initiatives. He added that the focus in Q3 will be on digital-led admissions, new high-value courses, and strengthening partnerships with universities and corporates.
