Sales of these courses accounted for 99% of the firm’s operating revenue in FY24. The company made additional Rs 4.5 crore from interest income which pushed its total revenue to Rs 389 crore in FY24. Along with achieving decent growth in scale, the company has reduced costs across verticals, as evident from its expenditure on employee benefits, which declined by 28.57% to Rs 230 crore.

While the financial numbers would indicate a runway for another six months in FY25, the firm will certainly need one more round of funding to stand independently. The business has scale, the brand has built some credibility now and a strong future beckons if Scaler can build on that momentum. The edtech does face its share of challenges, and will need to expand with care so as not to expend too many resources in markets where success may not necessarily follow. With its short term courses offering a career leg up, markets where the potential is high but the basic education system is a shambles will be a bad idea, one feels. As students simply may not be equipped to benefit as they should. We should know soon enough what route the firm takes to build a sustainable business.
