Segments
Research Solutions is the primary growth engine, contributing 71% of revenue and 67% of segment profit, with YoY revenue growth of +32% vs Education Solutions' +10%; standalone profitability is far higher than likely consolidated due to dividend income from subsidiaries.
Key positives

Key concerns
- QoQ PAT declined 6.1% despite revenue growth, due to higher tax expense and lower other income
- Finance cost surged 323% YoY to ₹1.10 Cr (from low base of ₹0.26 Cr)
- Standalone revenue of ₹124 Cr is only part of the group; consolidated picture missing from text
