Management Comments
Mr. Himanshu Gupta
The FY26 sales season was a steady season with both Old and New Syllabus books being adopted in schools for the new Academic year. Looking ahead, we are quite optimistic for FY27 since the new syllabus books for K-8 are already released and CBSE has released a circular in April, 2026 stating that the new syllabus for Classes – 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th would be launched during the next few months. On back of this development, we expect FY27-28 to see complete adoption of the new syllabus books for the K- 12 segment, which should strongly support our growth trajectory over the next 2 years. Additionally, we have completed our 1st International acquisition in January 2026 when we acquired CPD Singapore which gives us Curriculum capabilities for the India and Asia markets. CPD Singapore is a publisher of supplementary books adhering to the Singapore / IGCSE (A Level and O Levels) / IB Curriculum for the K12 school segment. This fills a gap in our product portfolio and makes us future ready for this fast-growing segment. We are proud to say that we continue to be net debt-free company at the end of FY26 through consistent efforts on working capital management. Our strategic partnerships and collaborations have allowed us to expand our offerings and meet the changing needs of our customers. Our commitment is to continue this positive trend and enhance our financial position over the long term.
