Managing Director’s letter to the Shareholders

Dear Valued Shareholders,

I am writing to you today with immense pride and gratitude as we embark on this exciting
new chapter in our company’s journey. With our recent listing on the Emerge Platform of the
National Stock Exchange, we have reached a significant milestone—one that reflects the
hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment of every member of our 700+ strong
team.

Some of the things that we were able to figure out quite well during the year were:

1. Scaling SkillArbitrage: We were able to scale up our SkillArbitrage brand. We


launched many new categories successfully under this brand and reached product
market fit. We significantly increased our total addressable market because of this.
Also more than half of our revenue is now coming from SkillArbitrage which shows
that our team has successfully transitioned from being a legal market focused niche
brand to a horizontal player in the upskilling market. We have also proved that we
can launch new brands and categories rapidly. We intend to capitalise on this in the
months to come.
2. Tight management of costs: We managed our budget and costs very tightly, and
didn’t allow costs to balloon despite rapid growth thanks to improved capacity
utilisation. Our CAC has held across different markets, while delivery costs have
remained stable despite focusing on creating delight and delivering value to learners.
We have been able to use generative AI in our delivery which helped to reduce cost.
We have also managed to launch several growth and engagement products that

Annual Report 2023-24


4 of 117
generated leads without spending advertising money. We expect further improvement
in our costs as we go global and scale further.
3. Test-prep results: Our test prep team has produced phenomenal results which we
expect to influence our financial performance also going forward as we become a
major player in the legal test prep domain.
4. Selling courses in other countries: We have managed to start selling our courses
in the US, in the UK and Canada. We have a nascent sales team focusing on these
markets. Our fundamentals have been wonderful in these markets so far and we are
getting very little resistance or competition at this point in the categories we have
entered. We are also in the process of launching a new brand Skillsafter.ai for these
markets, which would cater to professionals whose careers would be disrupted by
emerging automation & AI tools.
5. LawSikho Opportunities: We launched and scaled LawSikho Opportunities which
rapidly became one of the top job platforms in the legal space, with over 1 lakh
unique users per month. We are currently investing in creating more niche job
platforms using the same playbook. We are currently not monetising this initiative but
it can be a potential source of lead generation in future for our upskilling programs.
6. Entry into healthcare education: currently we have over 3000 nurses preparing for
their career abroad with us in our pilot communities. We are preparing them for
NCLEX and IELTS exams. We are yet to launch paid courses in this category, but our
traction so far is encouraging.
7. Successfully entered the science and engineering professional market: We
acquired and successfully integrated the data science and data analytics course
business of Dataisgood. The logic of this acquisition was to make a headway into the
science and engineering grads market which we could not penetrate earlier.
Currently we have a thriving and growing data science and data analytics course
business within our SkillArbitrage brand. We have also launched a successful patent
analyst category for the same target market on the back of the learnings we received
from our experience of integrating dataisgood into SkillArbitrage.

Our mission has always been clear: to empower individuals through accessible, high-quality
upskilling courses, help them to build a track record and then connect them with deserving
career opportunities. As the demand for upskilling continues to surge globally, the Company
is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation. Even as more people in low skill jobs may
become redundant in their current jobs due to advanced automation and generative AI, we
are in a position to help them to upskill and transition into lucrative careers. We believe that
our innovative learning solutions, robust technology infrastructure, and commitment to
excellence will allow us to capture new opportunities and expand our reach to even more
learners worldwide.

Looking ahead, we have a clear strategy in place to deliver this mission, fuel our growth and
enhance shareholder value. Our focus will be on:

1. Innovation in Learning: We will continue to invest in cutting-edge technologies,


including AI-driven legal assistant tools, microlearning app, legal research databases,
an app for driving job opportunities and so on.
2. Global Expansion: We are committed to expanding our presence in key
international markets, building strategic partnerships, and tailoring our offerings to

Annual Report 2023-24


5 of 117
meet the diverse needs of learners across different regions. We shall be focused on
launching courses in the UK, US and Canada markets.
3. Scaling sales: We have launched many successful and proven products. Our focus
will be on scaling up sales and marketing. We intend to achieve these through
automated funnels, larger internal sales team and community driven marketing.
4. Scaling up services exports: One of our key focus areas will be to scale up
services export part of our business, landing contracts that provide us with recurring
revenue and more practical exposure and increased placement opportunities for our
learners. We would also strive to build and scale up marketplaces that focus on niche
services export..

The journey ahead is filled with opportunities, and I am confident that, together, we can
achieve even greater heights. Your support and trust are invaluable to us, and I want to
assure you that we remain fully committed to driving the Company forward with the same
passion, integrity, and vision that have brought us to this point.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. I look forward to sharing more updates with you in
the coming months as we continue to shape the future of upskilling, career growth and talent
arbitrage.

Warm regards,

Ramanuj Mukherjee

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Your company is a professional upskilling and career services edtech platform which caters
primarily to senior & mid-career professionals, and in some cases to young professionals as
well. Your company offers a comprehensive range of professional upskilling courses and
training programs which includes Law, Finance, Accounting, Corporate Governance,
Compliance, Human Resources, Business Consulting, Artificial Intelligence, Content Writing,

high demand skills, develop a strong demonstrable track record & access international as
well as domestic freelance work opportunities and remote jobs. We also cater to college
students looking for advanced skills and recent graduates who are struggling to find jobs.

One of our major focus areas is to offer upskilling courses which enable our learners to find

subjects like US Intellectual Property Law, US Tax Law, US Accounting, Bookkeeping and
Corporate Compliances, International Contract Drafting, International Business Law,
International Labour Laws, US Technology Law, US Corporate Law, US Real Estate Law etc.

Further your Company also provides international bar exam courses for Canada, United
Kingdom and California, United States.

highly competitive exams such as judiciary exams, UGC-NET, SEBI Grade A legal officer,
Bank and Insurance Officers exams etc.

OUTLOOK ON THE INDIAN ECONOMY

India's economic growth trajectory has garnered global attention as the renowned rating
agency S&P Global has revised its outlook on the country from stable to positive. This
development reflects the agency's assessment that policy stability, deepening economic
reforms, and robust infrastructure investment will sustain India's long-term growth
prospects. Additionally, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in its latest ‘World
Economic Outlook’ report upgraded India's gross domestic product (GDP) in FY 2024-25
by 20 basis points to 7 percent. The IMF has revised its forecast upward from the previous
estimate of 6.8 percent in April owing to a notable rise in consumption prospects, especially
in rural areas. Whereas the United Nations Projection (World Economic Situation and
Prospects, mid-2024) has projected the Indian economy to grow by 6.9% in 2024 and 6.6%
in 2025. This 6.9% growth forecast for 2024 is an upward revision from the earlier 6.2%
projection made in January 2024.

Annual Report 2023-24

GDP Growth (Percent Change, year-on-year)

The Indian economy's growth is driven by several key factors which include strong domestic
demand, fueled by rising incomes and an expanding middle class, which has led to robust
private consumption. Investment activity is also on the rise, with significant private
investments and government expenditure on infrastructure. Moderating inflation has created
a stable environment for spending and investment.

Additionally, manufacturing is seeing a resurgence due to initiatives like "Make in India,"


while the resilient services sector continues to thrive. India's ability to withstand global
headwinds and diversify supply chains further bolsters its economic growth trajectory.
However, there is a need for targeted economic policies to shape India's trajectory toward
achieving its aspirations of being the third-largest economy by 2027 and securing
sustainable economic growth.

From the perspective of our business, 3 forces deserve mention:

1. The Indian economy has been undergoing rapid formalisation since the pandemic
and the introduction of UPI. This is leading to a huge domestic demand for services
talent across different professional categories as formalised businesses focus on
scaling up, hiring employees, marketing, raising investment, bank loans, protecting
their brand, enforcing contracts, and paying taxes. Our brands provide upskilling
programs in several of these segments. Informal businesses which were primarily
cash-oriented did not focus on this. Record direct and indirect tax generation by the
government, and multiple reports of State Bank of India have indicated extensive
formalisation of the Indian economy.

Annual Report 2023-24


8 of 117
2. Apart from economic growth, the average per capita income of Indians is expected to
reach USD 6000 by 2030, from approx. USD 2500 currently. Indians already spend a
huge amount on education and upskilling. This increase in per capita income is likely
to increase the paying capacity of Indians for upskilling, giving us more headroom to
increase average revenue per user in the future for Indian learners.
3. As per Services Exports Promotion Council, services exports from India can hit 1
trillion dollars by 2030. It is already somewhere between 250-300 bn dollars currently,
but is led by IT-related services provided through IT services offshoring companies.
Post the pandemic and remote work revolution, it has become possible to export
services from India directly to SMEs in the US and advanced economies without the
requirement of an intermediary. LawSikho and Skill Arbitrage have been upskilling
talent in this area and support our learners to find opportunities in this space. There
is a massive growth trajectory ahead given the possibility of increase in services
exports.

OUTLOOK ON UPSKILLING INDUSTRY

The Government’s focus on skilling and employment for 2024-25 is visible through the
allocation of Rs.1.48 lakh crores for employment and skilling in the budget for the year
2024-25. It also shows the focus on skilling with an intention to generate employment
opportunities, something which your Company has been focussing on, since its early days.1

The Government revamped the Model Skill Loan Scheme, increasing the loan limit from
Rs.1.5 lakhs to Rs.7.5 lakhs. Since the courses offered by us are on-boarded on Skill India
Digital Hub Platform, learners enrolling in our courses will get the benefit of the revamped
scheme.2
There is focus on upskilling as compared to education. A report from Great Learning reflects
that 85% Indians believe that upskilling is necessary to future proof their career. IT,
education and training are the sectors with maximum demand for upskilling.3

Through SkillArbitrage, the Company has already introduced courses in the domain of data
science and AI and is looking to expand into other domains with higher upskilling demands.

Further, in skilling, certain trends like personalised learning and microlearning are picking
up.4 The Company had identified these trends early on and already has systems in place
providing personalised coaching and training to learners. The Company is also in progress
with creating a microlearning app for the learners.

The Company also picked up on the forthcoming trends of training in the domains of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and has accordingly developed courses which cater to various learners
desiring to use AI for business growth and courses on prompt engineering and helping
women to secure work opportunities.

STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES, AND RISKS IN ED-TECH AND


SKILLING INDUSTRY

Strengths

Remote Operations:

The Company operates as a 100% remote company which gives the Company access to
talent from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities and also from other countries, at a lower cost. The
Company particularly has an advantage in hiring work-from-home mothers who are talented
and want to contribute to the organisation but cannot commute to office. Having figured out
remote working gives a distinct advantage to the Company.

Brand name:

The Company’s brand “LawSikho” is well known and in addition, the listing of shares of the
Company has created further awareness of the brand of the Company, thus gaining trust
from potential customers and employees. SkillArbitrage has also become a renowned brand
in a short time.

Strong placement numbers:

The Company has significantly developed its ability to place its learners in jobs and
internships and to generate freelancing opportunities for the learners. This has helped the
Company create a good number of success stories and gain an edge from other
competitors, who are not able to generate work opportunities at the same scale or velocity
for their learners.

Weaknesses

Smaller sales team:

Our sales team has been smaller compared to other edtech companies and some of our
potential competitors. It will be important for us to significantly scale up our sales team if we
are to effectively capitalise on the opportunities before us.

Rapidly changing work force requirements:

Since we connect our courses and value proposition for users with employment and market
demand, changing dynamics at workplaces and economy can significantly impact us. We
have to stay in touch with evolving needs of the industries we cater to, and failing to notice or
respond to new trends can lead to significant loss in market share very rapidly.

Annual Report 2023-24


10 of 117
Technology and connectivity:

Remote operations require availability of continuous connectivity which may not be available
at all times and this may impact the functioning of the Company. We are vulnerable to events
that can disrupt internet and mobile connectivity. Further, this requires the Company to
continuously have in place and implement systems which can help to monitor the
performance of the employees. Monitoring and metrics driven approach can cause
dissatisfaction amongst the workforce.

Dependence on consumer loans for revenue generation:

Close to 50% of our learners opt for EMI schemes, leading to dependance on NBFC
partners who provide loans for online courses. Changes in RBI policies or banking
regulations can affect our business if such loans become harder to obtain. Also, in case in
the future there happens to be a large number of defaults by our learners, our future learners
could find it harder to get these loans.

Opportunities

We can aggregate service and demand side for services export marketplace:

Services export from India on the back of labour cost arbitrage has been a very successful
business model. However, white collar SME jobs in developed countries were mostly
untouched by that trend. SMEs are now open to remote workers due to huge cost savings
and an increasingly competitive business environment. We have an opportunity to rapidly
grow the services export part of our business as well as aggregate demand and supply in
niche online marketplaces. As we already train a large number of service providers across
various categories, we have a great opportunity to emerge as a major global player in a
nascent market due to our significant competitive advantages.

Dedicated sales teams focusing on US and UK services export market:

We can significantly grow our revenue with dedicated teams for US and UK markets where
we have achieved some penetration already. We would grow our inside sales teams as well
as B2B business development teams focused on generating from SMEs in these countries.

Opportunities for geographical expansion:

The Company is seeking to expand its reach to learners in other countries such as the
United Kingdom, North America and Canada. There are also significant opportunities in the
EU, Mexico, Kenya, Nigeria, The Philippines and other countries. For this purpose the
company is exploring establishment of franchisee relationships or entities in these regions
and is also looking for acquisition targets to access these markets.

Annual Report 2023-24


11 of 117
Threats

Competition

The Company operates in a competitive environment where there are low entry barriers. Our
continued success depends on the success of our learners. In some verticals we compete
against existing players while in others there is a blue ocean. However, it is possible for
competition to enter the market as other players can offer similar courses and learning
mechanisms. What has continued to set us apart is our focus on the success of our learners
and offering deeper levels of placement support to our learners. If we fail to scale the
number of opportunities we provide to our learners while we increase enrollment in our
courses, that would lead to a lot of dissatisfaction from learners which can hurt our brand.
Further, the Company continues to face competition from traditional modes of learning such
as offline learning centres and colleges who intend to get into the upskilling space.

Ability to attract and retain talented personnel

The business model of the Company is dependent on its ability to attract and retain talented
people. Although the remote operations and a brand name as a listed company gives the
Company an edge, any factors leading to unavailability of appropriate personnel or inability
to retain personnel can impact the business of the Company.

Computer-driven and intellectual property based systems

The Company relies heavily on intellectual property and technology based systems, such as
learning management systems, AI driven evaluation systems etc., for majority of the
functions and operations. Numerous software tools are used by various functions in the
Company for different purposes. Such systems can be subject to technological errors, data
breaches, infringement by third parties or claims that the Company is infringing their
intellectual property. Any of these instances can impact the operations of the Company.

SEGMENT WISE OR PRODUCT-WISE PERFORMANCE

Under the brand “LawSikho,” our company offers a diverse range of courses aimed at
providing comprehensive legal upskilling and practical skills as well as for those aspiring to
build careers in the international legal arena. These courses encompass various aspects of
law and are designed to cater to different career aspirations and legal specialisations. During
the financial year 2023-24 the revenue generated from these courses was Rs.37,69,90,544.

Under our brand “Skill Arbitrage”, we offer a diverse range of professional upskilling courses
in the field of finance, human resources, artificial intelligence, content writing, video editing
etc. designed to cater individuals from various backgrounds to excel in their careers and
seize international opportunities. During the financial year 2023-24 the revenue generated
from these courses was Rs.21,09,46,590.

Annual Report 2023-24


12 of 117
Under our brand “Dataisgood”, we provide data science and analytics courses to learners.
During the financial year 2023-24, after the acquisition of Dataisgood Edutech Private
Limited, the revenue generated from these courses was Rs.4,58,22,079.

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND THEIR ADEQUACY

Our company has put in place standard operating procedures that ensure effective and
transparent internal controls for efficient delivery of services. The Audit Committee of the
Board oversees the internal audit function. The internal audit function provides assurance to
the Board that a system of internal control is designed and deployed to manage key
business risks and is operating effectively. We have been refining our management
methodologies by way of periodical reviews so as to realign our tactics to meet the changes
on the ground. The Company has adopted policies and procedures for ensuring orderly and
efficient conduct of the business, including adherence to the Company’s policies, the
safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy
and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial
disclosures. The internal control system is commensurate with the nature of business, size
and complexity of operations and has been designed to provide reasonable assurance on
the achievement of objectives, effectiveness and efficiency of operations, reliability of
financial reporting and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Financial discipline
is emphasised at all levels of the business and adherence to quality systems and focus on
customer satisfaction is critical for the Company to retain and attract customers and
business and these are followed rigorously.

MATERIAL DEVELOPMENTS IN HUMAN RESOURCES / INDUSTRIAL


RELATIONS FRONT, INCLUDING NUMBER OF PEOPLE EMPLOYED

As a professional upskilling and education technology company, we believe that a motivated


and empowered employee base is the key to our operations and business strategy. We have
developed a large pool of skilled and experienced personnel including sales, marketing, HR,
teachers, counsellors, etc. Up to 31st August 2024 we had 82 full-time employees. Given
that many team members are lawyers, CA, CS and other professionals with special rules
with respect to employment, we engage most team members on a project-basis. As on 31st

FORTHCOMING TECH INITIATIVES

We have been consistently aiming to improve learner experience through various technology
initiatives. Some of these initiatives which are currently in place and also being developed by
the technology department of the Company are as follows:

LawSikho opportunities

- What this platform will do: This is a user-friendly platform which provides job
opportunities to lawyers and a seamless application process. It will also help
employers to find a reliable pool of qualified legal professionals and advanced
filtering and matching mechanisms to curate job listings.
- How will this benefit the users: The users will be able to search for jobs and apply
with ease. We can potentially explore bundling upskilling services to users who can
upskill themselves and apply for opportunities.
- Revenue generation for the Company: The Company will charge a platform
service fee for facilitating interactions between potential employers and applicants.

Services Marketplace

- What this platform will do: This platform will provide an opportunity to our learners
to showcase their services and apply for assignments posted by SMEs especially in
the US and advanced economies in a similar manner as Upwork or other freelancing
platforms. The platform is intended to be designed to address common concerns of
employers with respect to client confidentiality, etc. which currently are not met
adequately by existing platforms. It will also be customised for the categories of work
specifically catered to by our learners. The platform will enable learners to register
and create detailed profiles, showcase their portfolio and work done, apply for jobs
and assignments and receive payments in a secured manner with escrow
mechanisms. It will also enable potential employers and clients to search for
appropriate service providers.
- How will this benefit the users: Currently, our learners rely on finding work through
opportunities sourced by our team or through existing freelance platforms. Building a
platform that protects the concerns around data security, freelancer accountability
and workflow management of potential clients in the US and advanced economies
while giving work to talent across borders will reduce friction, thus enabling more
opportunities to be accessible for our learners. The services marketplace will
complement our inside sales development initiative to generate opportunities for

Annual Report 2023-24


16 of 117
Indian talent, including our learners, from advanced economies. This will also deepen
the competitive advantage for our upskilling business. It is also possible to monetise
transactions on this marketplace as US SMEs are already accustomed to paying
freelance platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, etc.
- Revenue generation for the Company: The Company will charge a platform
service fee for facilitating the business and service providers.

Microlearning App

- What this application will do and how it will benefit users: This application will be
a valuable educational application (“app”) which can increase the Company's visibility
and reputation in the field of legal education. The quality of legal education greatly
varies across colleges all over the country. Through this app, law students will be
able to access the entire college curriculum on their mobile phone through byte-sized
learning (like Duolingo and Sololearn), goal-setting and gamification. The app will
support lead generation, data-driven marketing, and provision of premium content or
services.

- Revenue generation & other benefits for the Company: Since the app will aid
lead generation and data-driven marketing, this will aid revenue generation and drive
down cost of customer acquisition. Further, it can become a direct source of revenue
for the Company through provision of premium content and services.

Improving Our Existing Student Experience Portal

- What this portal will do: This portal will be a single portal which will integrate data
across multiple tools and provide learners a single window access to all crucial
aspects of their academic journey and career development with us. The portal shall
be available to all learners, including those with disabilities, by adhering to
accessibility standards. The portal will also have robust data security measures to
protect sensitive student information and ensure compliance with data privacy
regulations
- How will this benefit the users: This portal will enable us to harness efficiency in
service delivery, save time of our delivery time and also give our students a more
focussed experience, enhanced goal-setting, greater customer delight and stickiness
to our platform.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone
Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the
Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also
includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act
for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other
irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and
estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate
internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness
of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements
that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends
to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting
process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements


Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken
on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Annual Report 2023-24


51 of 117
 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the
Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the
company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.

 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of


accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of


accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on
the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or
conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

 Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions
and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and
other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,
related safeguards.

ON THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ADDICTIVE LEARNING
TECHNOLOGY LIMITED

(Referred to in Paragraph 2 point (f) under the heading of “Report on Other Legal and
Regulatory Requirements” of our report of even date)

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause(i) of Sub-
section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of ADDICTIVE
LEARNING TECHNOLOGY LIMITED (“the Company”) as at March 31, 2024, in conjunction

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls


The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial
controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company,
considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of
Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of
adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and
efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its
assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the
accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the
Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial
reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on
Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under section
143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls,

controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated
effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal
financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Ouraudit of
internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal
financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

Annual Report 2023-24


60 of 117
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting


A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
company's internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting


Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including
the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due
to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal
financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal
financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanation given to us, the
Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial
reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at
March 31, 2024, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the
Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on
Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India.

Notes to the financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2024

1. Corporate Information
Addictive Learning Technology Limited (the “Company”) (formerly known as Addictive Learning Technology Private Limited) was incorporated on September 12, 2017 under the Indian Companies Act, 2013
having registered office at Space Creattors Heights, 3rd floor, Landmark Cyber Park, Golf Course Extension, Sector 67, Gurgaon, Haryana 122102, DL FQE, Gurgaon, Dlf Qe, Haryana, India, 122002. The
Company is engaged in the business of providing consultancy education services such as Law, Management Studies, Online Education, Personality Development Program etc.

Summary of significant accounting policies

(i) Basis of preparation


These financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material aspects with the accounting standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2021, specified under section 133
and other relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

The Standalone Financial Statements have been prepared on accrual basis under the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments and share-based payment transactions that are
measured at fair value as required by relevant AS.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented unless otherwise stated.
Company has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current / non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III (Division I) to the Companies Act, 2013.
Based on the nature of services and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12
months for the purpose of current / non current classification of assets and liabilities.

(ii) Property, plant and equipment


Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price net of any trade
discounts and rebates, any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the tax authorities), any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its
intended use and other incidental expenses.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to
the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance
are charged to An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss
arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the
statement of profit and loss.

(iii) Intangible assets


Acquired intangible assets
Intangible assets that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Internally generated intangible assets


Research expenditure and development expenditure that do not meet the criteria as stated below are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as expense are not
recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.
An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:
• the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale.
• the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.
• the ability to use or sell the intangible asset.
• how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits.
• the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset, and
• the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above.
Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that
are acquired separately.
An intangible asset is derecognised upon disposal (i.e., at the date the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising upon
derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss, when the asset is
derecognised.

The expenditure which has been incurred during the year on Content Development for which the results and benefits of these expenditure would be obtained over the multiple years in coming future has
been considered as "Deferred Revenue Expenditure" in the books of accounts till previous financial year, From current Financial Year we have changed the policy and considered as intangible assets.

This has resulted in an increase in profit before tax for current financial year, after taking into account the adjustment for previous financial year as well, by INR 364.07 Lacs.
This accounting policy change also harmonises treatment of Content Development under Income Tax Act, which was already being followed for the previous year as well.

Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its estimated residual value.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment has been provided on the straight-line method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the office
equipments and furnitures and fixtures, in which cases the life of the assets has been assessed as under based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the
asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as under:
Asset category Useful life
Office equipments other than mobile handsets 5 years
Office equipments - mobile handsets 3 years
Servers (included in computers) 6 years
Furniture and Fixtures 10 years
Machinery 15 years
Computers 3 years
Leasehold improvements Primary period
of the lease

Intangible assets are amortised in the Statement of Profit and Loss over their estimated useful lives on straight line method, from the date that they are available for use. The Company amortises its
intangible assets as follows:

Asset category Useful life


Acquired software 6 years
Acquired technical know-how 5 years
Internally generated intangibles (Application) 5 years

The depreciation charge for each period is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, unless it is included in the carrying amount of any other asset. The useful life, residual value and the depreciation
method are reviewed at each financial year end. If the expectations differ from previous estimates the changes are accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimates.

(iv) Revenue recognition


Revenue from services is recognized based on services rendered on a cost plus basis in accordance with terms of the master services agreements entered into by the Company with its customers and is net
of goods and services tax (GST). Revenue in excess of billings on service contracts is recorded as unbilled revenue and is included in Trade receivables.

Interest: Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.

Income from export incentives is recognised when the application is filed with the government authority and when it is reasonable certain that ultimate collection will be made.
(v) Foreign currency translation
Initial Recognition:
On initial recognition, all foreign currency transactions are recorded by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of
the transaction.

Subsequent Recognition:
As at the reporting date, non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
All monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are restated at the rates ruling at the end of accounting period. Exchange differences arising therefrom are recognized in the Statement of Profit and
Loss.

(vi) Current and deferred tax


Tax expense for the period, comprising current tax and deferred tax, are included in the determination of the net profit or loss for the period. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to
the tax authorities in accordance with the taxation laws prevailing in the respective jurisdictions.

Deferred tax is recognised for all the timing differences, subject to the consideration of prudence in respect of deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are recognised and carried forward only to the extent
that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. In situations, where the Company has
unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward losses under tax laws, all deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be
realised against future taxable profits. At each Balance Sheet date, the Company re-assesses unrecognised deferred tax assets, if any.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the assets and the liability on net basis.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off assets against liabilities representing current tax and where the deferred tax assets and deferred
tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.

(vii) Earnings per share


Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
Earnings considered in ascertaining the Company’s earnings per share is the net profit for the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period and for all periods
presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in
resources. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

Annual Report 2023-24


66 of 117
(viii) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in India, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported for assets and liabilities including the recoverability of Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements
and the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates the estimates.

The most significant estimates relate to provision for expenses related to income taxes, contingencies and litigations, employee benefits and useful life of assets. Management bases its estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which, form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual amounts may differ from the estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

(ix) Provisions and contingent liabilities


Provisions: Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the
Balance sheet date and are not discounted to its present value.
Contingent Liabilities: Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non occurrence
of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable
estimate of the amount cannot be made.

(x) Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, demand deposits with banks with original maturities of three months or less.

Notes to the financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2024

1. General Information
Addictive Learning Technology Limited (the “Company”) (formerly known as Addictive Learning Technology Private Limited) was incorporated on September 12, 2017 under the Indian Companies
Act, 2013. The Company is mainly in the business of providing consultancy education services such as Law, Management Studies, Online Education, Personality Development Program etc.

Summary of significant accounting policies

(i) Basis of preparation


These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in India under the historical cost convention on accrual basis. These financial
statements have been prepared to comply in all material aspects with the accounting standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2021, specified under section 133 and
other relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current / non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III (Division I) to the Companies
Act, 2013. Based on the nature of services and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its
operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current / non current classification of assets and liabilities.

(ii) Property, plant and equipment


Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. The cost of acquisition includes purchase price and any other directly attributable costs of bringing
the assets to their working condition for intended use.
Depreciation on fixed assets is provided on written down value method over the useful life as estimated by the management. The useful lives of assets are in line with the useful lives prescribed
under Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The existing
realisable values of fixed assets is 5% as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.

Depreciation on additions/ deletions is provided on pro-rata basis from the date of acquisition/sale.

Assets Useful life


Computer Systems 3 years
Office Equipments 5 years
Furniture & Fixtures 10 years

The depreciation charge for each period is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, unless it is included in the carrying amount of any other asset. The useful life, residual value and the
depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year end. If the expectations differ from previous estimates the changes are accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimates.

(iii) Revenue recognition


Revenue from services is recognized based on services rendered on a cost plus basis in accordance with terms of the master services agreements entered into by the Company with its customers
and is net of goods and services tax (GST). Revenue in excess of billings on service contracts is recorded as unbilled revenue and is included in Trade receivables.

Interest: Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.

Income from export incentives is recognised when the application is filed with the government authority and when it is reasonable certain that ultimate collection will be made.

(iv) Foreign currency translation


Initial Recognition:
On initial recognition, all foreign currency transactions are recorded by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at
the date of the transaction.

Subsequent Recognition:
As at the reporting date, non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
All monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are restated at the rates ruling at the end of accounting period. Exchange differences arising therefrom are recognized in the Statement of
Profit and Loss.

Annual Report 2023-24


85 of 117
(v) Current and deferred tax
Tax expense for the period, comprising current tax and deferred tax, are included in the determination of the net profit or loss for the period. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to
be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the taxation laws prevailing in the respective jurisdictions.

Deferred tax is recognised for all the timing differences, subject to the consideration of prudence in respect of deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are recognised and carried forward only to
the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. In situations, where the Company has
unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward losses under tax laws, all deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they
can be realised against future taxable profits. At each Balance Sheet date, the Company re-assesses unrecognised deferred tax assets, if any.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the assets and the liability on
net basis. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off assets against liabilities representing current tax and where the deferred tax
assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.

(vi) Earnings per share


Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the
period. Earnings considered in ascertaining the Company’s earnings per share is the net profit for the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period and
for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a
corresponding change in resources. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

(vii) Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in India, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities including the recoverability of Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of the
financial statements and the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates the
estimates.
The most significant estimates relate to provision for expenses related to income taxes, contingencies and litigations, employee benefits and useful life of assets. Management bases its estimates
on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which, form the basis for making judgments about the
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual amounts may differ from the estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

(viii) Provisions and contingent liabilities


Provisions: Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present
obligation at the Balance sheet date and are not discounted to its present value.
Contingent Liabilities: Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non
occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to
settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.

(ix) Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, demand deposits with banks with original maturities of three months or less.
