Objectives of IPO

  1. The total size of the IPO is up to ₹500 crore, including a fresh offer and an offer for sale (OFS). The fresh offer is up to ₹180 crore, and the offer for sale aggregates up to ₹320 crore. The sole selling shareholder, who is taking part in the offer for sale, is its promoter, Pedanta Technologies Private Limited. However, Pedanta Technologies Private Limited intends to use the money it receives from the OFS only towards the repayment of ₹300 crore Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) availed from Investec Bank PLC. The funds received from the fresh offer are planned to be utilized for the following core objectives:
  2. The company plans to spend ₹ 61.77 crore for purchasing land and constructing a new building. This includes ₹30.31 crore for purchasing land at Plot No. 1-C-Part in the Hootagalli Industrial Area, Mysore, on which it intends to develop a new facility for growth and delivery of enhanced services.
  3. The company plans to allocate ₹39.51 crore for the renovation and upgrade of its existing facility at Mysore. This investment aims to strategically enhance its seating capacity and improve operational efficiency.
  4. The amount proposed for upgrading and strengthening its IT infrastructure and capabilities is ₹54.64 crore. This upgrade is intended to enhance cybersecurity, productivity, and development capabilities, while ensuring scalability and technological competitiveness.
  5. The balance funds will be deployed toward general corporate purposes. These purposes include strategic initiatives, brand building, meeting working capital needs, and other operational exigencies.

The company experienced a period of moderate growth and significant financial restructuring from FY23 through FY25, followed by a dynamic start in the first quarter of FY26 (Q1 FY26).

 

Total Revenue saw a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12.1% between FY23 (₹198 crore) and FY25 (₹248.8 crore). However, this growth was not linear. In FY24, revenue grew marginally by only ~1.4% to ₹200.7 crore. This slowdown was due to a 16.62% decrease in revenue from the sale of services, specifically a 14.70% decrease in educational technology services, which was partially offset by a 24.81% increase in the sale of software products.

 

The year FY24 also saw a major decline in profitability. Profit decreased sharply by 43.10%, falling from ₹22.41 crore in FY23 to ₹12.75 crore. This severe decline was caused primarily by an increase in expenses, including a 16.34% rise in employee benefits due to increments and ₹7.15 crore in share-based payments, as well as ₹5.16 crore in bad debts written off. Consequently, the profit margin dropped from 11.49% to 6.43%, and the EBITDA margin fell from 34.94% to 27.72%.

 

FY25 (FY25) marked a strong recovery, with PAT increasing by 172.02% to ₹34.7 crore. This rebound was fueled by a massive 54.6% decrease in finance costs, due to a sharp reduction in borrowings.

 

A critical positive trend is the reduction in financial leverage. Total borrowings decreased from ₹118.09 crore in FY23 to ₹26.59 crore in FY25. This deleveraging significantly lowered finance costs and improved the balance sheet's strength, reflected in a substantial increase in the Interest Coverage Ratio, which rose from 3.23 times in FY23 to 14.03 times in FY25.

Strengths and Risks

Strengths

Strengths

  • It maintains robust operating metrics, with a gross profit margin of 61.67% and an EBITDA margin of 31.40% in FY25, which significantly improved compared to the previous year. This demonstrates effective cost management and efficient service delivery, maximizing earnings from core operations.

  • It benefits from stable revenue streams due to long-term client relationships. The average association time with its top 10 clients is 10.80 years (FY25), and 24 clients have relationships lasting more than 10 years as of June 30, 2025.

  • The net debt to total equity ratio improved sharply from 0.37 in FY23 to just 0.05 in FY25. This low-leverage position significantly reduces financial risk and provides greater financial flexibility.

  • Its asset-light model yields strong productivity, generating approximately ₹20.9 lakh in revenue per employee in FY25. The revenue per employee has significantly improved by 12.07% from ₹18.65 lakh in FY23.

  • Revenue from operations rose from ₹195.1 crore in FY23 to ₹233.29 crore in FY25. Profit after tax also saw strong growth, increasing from ₹22.41 crore to ₹34.7 crore over the same period.

  • Operating as a global vertical SaaS firm, it invests heavily in technology, deploying AI-based Assessment & Proctoring Solutions and developing proprietary Large Language Models (LLMs). This focus on innovation ensures scalability and competitive relevance in the rapidly changing EdTech market.


Risks

Risks

  • Revenue relies heavily on key clients, with the top customer (Pearson Education Group) accounting for 58.79% of FY25 revenue. The top 10 clients contributed 76.58% in FY25. Loss of any key customer would severely affect revenue.

  • While reliant on foreign markets, revenue from North America, its largest market, declined from ₹123.47 crore in FY23 to ₹109.10 crore in FY24 and ₹141.49 crore in FY25. This decline, triggered by a key client's strategy change, indicates concentration risk within major markets.

  • Despite generating a majority of revenue in foreign currencies, notably 61.97% in USD in the three months ended June 30, 2025, the company does not use hedging contracts for these foreign exchange transactions. This policy exposes its profitability directly to currency rate volatility.

  • It holds a corporate guarantee of ₹300 crore for its corporate promoter’s NCDs. This guarantee constitutes 79.80% of its Net Worth as of June 30, 2025, exposing it to substantial financial risk if the guarantee is invoked. However, the promoter is about to pay this debt via the offer for sale money expected to receive from the IPO.

  • It generally does not execute long-term agreements with most customers, relying on non-exclusive master service agreements. This structure raises renewal risk, underscored by the loss of 12 clients (13%) in FY24 and 15 clients (16%) in FY23.
