1. Opening Hook
Fresh off a quarter where half of Corporate India claimed to be “AI-first,” NIIT actually showed up with numbers to back it. And of course, right after a public holiday delay, because nothing says efficiency like announcing results when nobody can read them.
But here’s the kicker — AI-enabled revenue now makes up nearly 10% of business, MST is finally in the house, Germany was on vacation (again), and despite that, revenue still popped 20%.
Strap in. Things get spicy — from tariff tantrums to L&D outsourcing psychology.
Read on, because the real fun begins when analysts start poking the “AI-enabled” beast.
2. At a Glance
- Revenue up 20% YoY – CFO swears it’s not because Germany was on holiday… again.
- EBITDA at ₹966 Cr – 20.3% margin – The “we will stay in the 20% club” promise continues.
- AI-enabled revenue hits 10% – Finally some AI that doesn’t just generate PowerPoint slides.
- Free Cash Flow: ₹677 Cr – Cash pile still flexing harder than rivals.
- DSO steady at 66 days – Customers still paying… mostly.
- Net Profit ₹470 Cr – Thanks to MTM tantrums and tax drama, PAT came dressed as “flat-ish.”
- Order Book: $409M – Traders heard this and stopped reading instantly.
