Veranda Launches Restructuring Under ‘Veranda 2.0’ Vision

Veranda Learning Solutions has unveiled a major strategic restructuring initiative under its ‘Veranda 2.0’ vision, designed to unlock long-term value, enable focused growth, and sharpen operational agility in India's rapidly evolving education sector. This move follows significant growth achieved through both organic and inorganic routes in recent years.

The restructuring will involve a detailed analysis of synergies between Veranda’s four key verticals—academic, commerce, government test preparation, and vocational training. This process may lead to a potential merger or demerger of business units to optimise performance. A sub-committee of the Board, comprising mainly independent directors and supported by external consultants, has been constituted to provide recommendations.

At the heart of Veranda’s strategy is its commerce education vertical, which includes leading brands such as JK Shah Classes, BB Virtuals, Navkar Digital Institute, Tapasya College of Commerce, and Logic School of Management. With over 2,000 CA rankers since 2001, this vertical—led by Prof. J.K. Shah—has become a powerhouse in test preparation for CA, CS, CMA, and ACCA qualifications.

To support its growth ambitions, Veranda has secured member approval for a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP). This capital-raising move is expected to enhance liquidity, accelerate expansion, and help make key business verticals debt-free.

India’s prominence as a global hub for finance and accounting talent underpins the high-growth potential of commerce education. The country hosts over 1,580 Global Capability Centres and sees more than 4.32 million B.Com enrolments annually. Veranda’s commerce vertical aims to consolidate market share from regional players and is expected to grow revenue from approximately Rs 2.81 billion in FY25 to over Rs 10 billion by FY30. Student enrolments are projected to more than double from 401,000 in FY25 to over 800,000 by FY30.

Veranda also aims to enhance margins through operational efficiencies, cross-selling across its brands, and expanding each student’s Lifetime Value. Margins are expected to rise from 36 per cent in FY25 to over 50 per cent by FY30.

“The proposed restructuring is a strategic step towards focused execution and value creation,” said Mr. Suresh Kalpathi, Executive Director and Chairman. “We are confident in the continued growth of all our verticals, especially commerce, which is currently our largest contributor by revenue and profitability.”

This strategic realignment seeks to position Veranda as a cluster of powerful, scalable education brands, each with the capacity for long-term, stakeholder-driven growth.
