Last Financial Year was very challenging to the world economy with widespread economic crisis the world has ever faced since Great Depression of 1930s. However, the efficient management of your company has not leaded its impact on profitability and growth of the company and for the third consecutive year the company has shown a remarkable increase in profits. One of the reasons behind this consistency is the comeback of Mr. Navin Gupta as MD and CEO of your company and ever since his appointment your Company is sailing on high growth of success. He is well known name in the Education sector and has taken some key policy decisions to rollover the company again on track of profits.

The Net Profits of the company have increased by 32.56 % from Rs.171.96 lac to Rs. 227.95 lac and Profits after tax (PAT) has increased by 20.50 % from Rs. 160.42 lac to Rs. 193.30.
