On an Adjusted EBITDA basis, earnings surged over five-fold year-on-year to ₹135 crore, lifting margins to 12.9% from 3.1%.

Re-NEET Impact and Learner Engagement

Management highlighted that overall Q1 enrolment momentum faced a temporary headwind due to shifts in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET UG) re-examination schedule. Despite the academic calendar adjustments, overall enrolments reached 2.49 million, up 2.4% year-on-year.

The platform’s Daily Active Users (DAU) registered a 26% year-on-year increase, topping 4.03 million users, while cumulative mobile application downloads crossed 97 million.
