Credit Rating & Borrowing

Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Knowledge-based educational content (intangible assets) represents the primary 'material' for revenue generation, though it is fully amortized.
Capacity Expansion
No expansion planned; the company is currently operating with a minimal staff of 32 employees as of FY24 to maintain basic operations during insolvency.
Raw Material Costs
Not applicable as a service-based education firm; however, 'Purchases of stock-in-trade' was INR 0.045 Cr in FY25.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Not applicable; however, the company has fully amortized its intangible assets (content) which continues to generate the entirety of its INR 3.62 Cr revenue.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
0%

None; the company is in a contraction phase under insolvency.
Market Share & Ranking

Strategic Alliances
None active; previous subsidiaries like Educomp Learning Private Limited are no longer providing financial data to the parent.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The EdTech industry is shifting toward B2C and integrated hybrid learning; Educomp's B2B model is struggling due to lack of capital for technological upgrades and its status as an insolvent entity.
Competitive Landscape
Faces intense competition from new-age EdTech firms and established publishers who have transitioned to digital formats.
Competitive Moat
The company's primary moat was its vast library of K-12 digital content; however, this is eroding as the content has not been re-evaluated or significantly updated since 2021.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to government education policies and the digital adoption rate in Indian private schools.
Consumer Behavior
Schools are moving toward more interactive and AI-integrated platforms, which Educomp currently lacks the capital to develop.
Geopolitical Risks
Minimal direct impact as operations are primarily domestic, though global supplemental segments exist but currently generate zero revenue.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are governed by the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) 2016. The company is also subject to SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR) which it has partially failed to meet regarding subsidiary reporting.
Environmental Compliance
Not disclosed; minimal impact for a service-based education company.
Taxation Policy Impact
The company reported a tax expense of zero for FY25 due to ongoing losses.
Legal Contingencies
The company has issued financial guarantees of INR 1,341.63 Cr to banks on behalf of subsidiaries. It also faces a dispute regarding excess managerial remuneration paid in 2014-15 and a failure to transfer INR 0.0031 Cr in unpaid dividends to the IEPF.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
The primary uncertainty is the outcome of the CIRP; if a resolution plan is not implemented, liquidation is likely. Auditors issued an 'Adverse Opinion' due to the inability to verify investments in subsidiaries totaling INR 70.17 Cr.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Concentrated in India; registered office in Mahipalpur, New Delhi.
Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on the NCLT and the Committee of Creditors (CoC) for any operational or strategic decisions.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
High risk; intangible assets are fully amortized and have not been re-assessed for useful life, potentially making the core product (Smartclass content) obsolete.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Trade receivables stood at INR 3.08 Cr in FY25; the company made a provision for doubtful trade receivables/bad debts of INR 0.78 Cr in FY25.
