1. At a Glance

Global Education sells training programmes, school books, placement services and software, all inside India. Revenue for the three months to June 2026 came to ₹13.50 crore. Operating profit was ₹6.23 crore and net profit ₹4.39 crore. Earnings per share, the profit split across every share, worked out at ₹0.86.

In the three months to June 2025 revenue had been ₹14.38 crore. The latest figure sits 6.12% below that comparable quarter. Profit after tax a year ago was ₹4.38 crore, and the newest number is 0.23% higher. Matching a year-ago profit to within one paisa per share is coincidence, not choreography.

Against the preceding quarter to March 2026 the shape changes. Revenue of ₹22.89 crore in that quarter became ₹13.50 crore in June. Operating profit of ₹11.01 crore became ₹6.23 crore across the same step. The operating margin came in at 46.15% in June against 48.10% in March. The same margin was 43.18% in the June quarter a year earlier.

On 11 August 2026 the board approved buying 4,900 equity shares of OwnPrep Private Limited for ₹49,000. It also approved beneficial interest in one further share for ₹10. The purchase turned OwnPrep into a wholly owned subsidiary of Global Education. On 21 August the company disclosed that the National Company Law Tribunal sanctioned the YSL-RIPL demerger on 18 August 2026. Under that order Global Education is entitled to 24,00,000 shares of RIPL.

For the full year to March 2026, revenue was ₹89.05 crore. Profit after tax was ₹24.70 crore and earnings per share ₹4.85. Debtor days, the average wait to be paid by customers, stood at 171 against 147.

2. Introduction

Global Education Limited was incorporated in 2011 and describes itself as an educational service and consultancy provider. The registered office is in Andheri (E), Mumbai, and the results are signed from Nagpur. They carry the signature of Mr Aditya Bhandari, the Whole Time Director. Market capitalisation, the value the market puts on all its shares together, is ₹555 crore.

Revenue in the year to March 2017 was ₹26.15 crore. The year to March 2021 brought ₹25.60 crore, a smaller figure than that. Five years of effort producing a smaller number is brisk walking on a treadmill. The year to March 2022 then brought ₹39.40 crore. March 2023 brought ₹61.99 crore, and the year after that ₹71.64 crore. The year to March 2025 came in at ₹68.03 crore. The year to March 2026 reached ₹89.05 crore. Compounded sales growth stands at 28% over five years and 13% over three.

Equity shares numbered 24,83,000 through the year to March 2020, at ₹10 face value. The count then moved to 1,01,80,300, and then to 2,03,60,600 at ₹5 face value. It now stands at 5,09,01,500 shares of ₹2 each. A notice for an extraordinary general meeting, dated 24 October 2024, proposed that last split. Comparing raw earnings per share across those years compares different-sized slices of one cake. Screener adjusts its figures for the splits, so the years can be read together. On that basis the year to March 2026 shows ₹4.85 against ₹4.95 before.

In February 2025 the board approved investing up to ₹20 crore in NSE equity securities. In December 2025 it approved selling up to 1,10,000 of those NSE shares. The sale was to be phased across the then current or the following quarter. In August 2025 the board approved ₹7.5 crore into a subsidiary. The same meeting approved a Nagpur office purchase and 26,050 employee stock options, which let staff buy shares later. A board at a company with ₹89 crore of annual revenue has kept a long agenda.

The group now consists of four subsidiaries: Global BIFS Academy, YOCO Stays, Global Sports and Music, and OwnPrep. Two associates sit beside them, YOLA Stays Limited and Rishiraj Infravision Private Limited.

3. Business Model: WTF Do They Even Do?

The company reports two operating segments, Educational Training and Development, and Business Support Activities. Both operate entirely within India, and the June 2026 quarter split between them unevenly. Training and Development contributed ₹2.49 crore of segment revenue, Business Support ₹11.00 crore. Segment results came to ₹1.16 crore and ₹4.39 crore respectively.

The Training Division runs programmes in communication skills, leadership, technical training and motivation. It also runs simulation-based medical training using high-fidelity simulators, which are lifelike patient mannequins. Somewhere on this profit and loss account is a mannequin resuscitated more often than any Maharashtra patient. The Publication arm makes supplementary books tied to the syllabus, and books outside it. It is empanelled, meaning placed on the official approved list, for wholesale NCERT book distribution in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. Placement Services handles temporary and permanent hiring, with a rural-youth focus under the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana. Digital Services sells ERP software to institutions, the systems that handle admissions, fees and records. The same arm does e-governance work, web development and digital marketing. The Global Power Training Institute runs power-sector training, and Facility Management does automated infrastructure management with a cybersecurity focus. One listed company therefore sells textbooks, defibrillator practice, ERP licences and rural placements. The word diversified in the business profile is carrying a gym bag.

The service-wise split for the year to March 2024 was led by Training and Soft Skill Development at 51.60%. Printing and Stationery followed at 17.64%, with Computers and Accessories at 9.81%. Renting of Equipment was 7.13% and Business Support Services 6.31%. Management Services took 4.40% and sale of advertisement
