The Risk factors have been determined on the basis of their materiality. The following factors have been considered for
determining the materiality.
• Some events may not be material individually but may be found material collectively.
• Some events may not be material at present but may be having material impact in future.
1. There are outstanding litigations pending against us, which, if determined adversely, could affect our operations.
22
Cases against our Directors and Promoters:
The amounts claimed in these proceedings have been disclosed to the extent ascertainable and include amounts claimed
jointly and severally. If any new developments arise, such as a change in Indian law or rulings against us by appellate courts
or tribunals, we may need to make provisions in our financial statements that could increase our expenses and current
liabilities.
For further details of certain material legal proceedings involving our Company, our Promoters, our directors, see
“Outstanding Litigations and Material Developments” beginning on page 156 of this Prospectus.
2. Our ability to attract and retain students is heavily dependent upon various factors including, but not limited to, our
reputation, our ability to maintain and improve on the number of quality selections in the examinations, and our ability
to maintain a high level of service quality. Any failure by us to attract or retain new students may impact our business
and revenues.
Our business heavily relies on our reputation as well as the quality and popularity of the test preparatory services provided
by us and our visibility and perception among students and their parents. It is important that we retain the trust placed in us
by our students and their parents on our result-oriented approach. We must also continue to attract new students and increase
the number of students serviced by us at a consistent rate.
We attempt to retain our position by maintaining academic and operational quality and by our ability to improve and add
value to the performance of the students enrolled on the courses offered by us. This requires constant updates to the
methodology, technology and study material used, along with ensuring that our faculty members are adequately equipped
to instruct these students. Further, we rely on a variety of advertising efforts tailored for and targeted at the student
community, such as advertising through print, digital and electronic media, outdoor media, below-the-line advertising
activities such as distributing leaflets, displays, brochures, and ambient media. Prospective students also gain awareness of
our courses and the quality of the test preparatory services at our Centers through interactions with the students presently
enrolled in various courses and former students, as well as through various promotions, seminars and academic events in
schools and at the community level.
In addition to test preparatory services, the individual performance of each student also depends on various factors,
including personal merit, ability to perform under pressure, physical and mental health, home environment, and peer
competition, all of which impacts the selection and rank obtained by the student. The quality of results obtained by the
students trained by us in a particular year impacts the number of student enrolments and/or the Student Count for the future
years, and if we are unable to maintain our quality of results (i.e., number of selections and selection ranks), the Student
Count may decrease and consequently our revenues could be materially and adversely affected. Additionally, if certain
students do not complete, or drop-out of, the courses in which they are enrolled, their performance in the examination may
be unsatisfactory, and this may adversely impact our business and reputation. The reasons for dropping out of the courses
include being unable to cope with the rigor of our courses, financial issues and health problems. We may, in certain
instances, also provide refunds to such students who drop-out of the courses. As a result, we may also lose expected potential
revenue from these drop-out students, who may potentially discourage other students from joining our courses.
3. If the performance of our students in the examinations does not match their expectations, our reputation maybe
adversely affected and thereby lead to a loss in our business and revenues.
23
We are in educational sector and coaching services provider for students of secondary and higher secondary section exam
including courses such as JEE (Main), JEE (Advanced) and MHT- CET (State level) for engineering, NEET (National
Level), MHT- CET (State Level, Maharashtra) for pharmacy, CA entrance exams including CA Foundation and CA
Intermediate, CS Entrance exams including CSEET and CS-Executive. In addition to coaching, the individual performance
of each student also depends on various factors including personal merit, ability to perform under pressure, physical and
mental health. The performance of the students enrolled in our courses in a year determines the success rate of our business
for that year. The quality of results of the students trained by us in a particular year impacts the number of enrolments for
the future years and consequently our revenues could be adversely affected. Additionally, if certain students do not complete
or drop-out of the courses in which they are enrolled, their performance in the examination may be unsatisfactory and this
may adversely impact our business and reputation. The satisfaction of the students and quality of the services in terms of
the coaching, providing study materials, and administration of classes benchmarks our service standards. We believe that
before enrolling with any coaching services provider, the students consult the previous batch of students who had registered
in that course. Any kind of student dissatisfaction in relation to any of the services, facilities or methods may impact their
judgment regarding the quality of services which may adversely impact our reputation and consequently, our business and
profitability.
4. Our inability to cater to and suitably update and enhance the depth of our course and product offerings may adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are continuing to explore opportunities to increase penetration of coaching service business, by offering an increased
number of courses, and increasing enrolments. In addition, we are continuing to explore opportunities to expand our
distribution network, by entering into coaching service of new courses.
We may incur substantial costs in expanding our course and product offerings and market reach, including in relation to
due diligence, infrastructure costs, difficulty in recruiting and training faculty and other personnel. We cannot guarantee
that our course, product and service offerings will be successful, on account of factors within and outside our control,
including general economic conditions or our failure to understand and anticipate evolving market demand and trends.
If there are significant changes or emphasis shifts in curriculum, test patterns and models, and we are unable to update,
realign and augment our course material and content in a timely and cost-effective manner, or are required to discontinue
certain course offerings or titles, our enrolments, revenues and profitability may be adversely affected. We may lose or be
required to write off part of our investment in development and promotion of new course or product offerings. Exam
patterns are also subject to alterations from time to time, either by government order or relevant education institutions.
5. The continuing effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, operations and financial
condition is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
During the first half of 2020, COVID-19 spread to a majority of countries across the world, including India and other
countries where our suppliers and customers are located. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have,
significant repercussions across local, national and global economies and financial markets. In particular, a number of
governments and organizations have revised GDP growth forecasts for the financial year 2021 downwards in response to
the economic slowdown caused by the spread of COVID-19, and it is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic can cause a
prolonged global economic crisis or recession. The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been rapidly evolving
and public health officials and governmental authorities have responded by taking measures, such as prohibiting people
from assembling in large numbers, instituting quarantines, restricting travel, issuing “stay-at-home” orders and restricting
the types of businesses that may continue to operate physically, among many others. The outbreak of COVID-19 was
recognized as a public health emergency and international concern on January 30, 2020 and as a pandemic by WHO on
March 11, 2020. On March 14, 2020, Government of India declared COVID-19 as a “notified disaster” and imposed a
nationwide lockdown beginning on March 25, 2020. While that lockdown lasted until May 31, 2020, and was extended
periodically by varying degrees by state governments and local administrations, the second wave of COVID-19 in April
2021 led to lockdowns imposed by the state governments and local administrations.
Despite the lifting of the lockdown, there is significant uncertainty regarding the duration and long-term impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic, as well as possible future responses by the Government, which makes it impossible for us to predict
with certainty the impact that COVID-19 can have on our business, operations or potential expansion plans in the future.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected and may continue to affect our business, results of operations and financial condition
in a number of ways. For example, the spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices, cancellation
of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences, which poses new challenges to our operations. In future, we
may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our
employees, customers, partners, and suppliers. We also incurred and may continue to incur additional expenses in
complying with evolving government regulations and measures, such as social distancing measures and sanitization
24
practices. If any of our employees are suspected of contracting COVID-19 or any other epidemic disease, this could require
us to quarantine some or all of these employees or suspend operations in our facilities for disinfection. While our operations
had slowed down during early 2020 and we have almost resumed to full normalcy with requisite precautions, the continuing
impact of COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition remains uncertain and is dependent on the spread of COVID-19
and steps taken by the Government to mitigate the economic impact and may differ from our estimates. We are closely
monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers and work force. Any
intensification of the COVID-19 pandemic or any future outbreak of another highly infectious or contagious disease may
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, we have experienced and may further
experience, Government authorities’ imposition of various measures such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines,
shelter-in-place orders, and shutdowns. Beginning in March 2020, due to the nationwide lockdown, quarantines, stay-at-
home and shelter-in-place orders, the promotion of social distancing, and other travel related restrictions, we experienced
closure of our production facilities. We may continue to be subject to temporary as well as permanent closures and reduced
manufacturing operations, logistical delays during which we shall be required to incur additional expenses in connection
with, among other things, retaining employees, fixed costs payable for maintaining our manufacturing plants, and loss of
inventory, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, any
intensification of the COVID-19 pandemic or any future outbreak of another highly infectious or contagious disease may
adversely affect our business.
6. The study material prepared by us may be plagiarised and this may have an adverse effect on our business.
The study material provided to our students is prepared after resource consuming analysis and research in our Content
development Team. This material is freely available to our students. But we neither have any system or mechanism to track
the sale of such study materials in open markets nor can we effectively restrict duplication of the material. Hence the study
material may be easily availed, copied and distributed by outsiders. This may adversely affect our business and profitability.
7. Our inability to adapt and update our course study material and coaching and testing methods in accordance with the
changing curriculum, nature of questions and examination patterns in a timely and effective manner may materially
and adversely affect our business and financial condition.
We compete in a market characterized by continual updates in curriculum and coaching and testing methods, which is
intensified by shifts in traditional coaching methods to virtual or digital ones and the increasing use of technology. The type
of questions and patterns of entrance examinations may be modified by reducing the time-period of the examination.
Curriculum and examination patterns may be altered from time to time, either by government order or by the relevant
testing agencies. Any such change to the curriculum and examination pattern to reflect a revised curriculum or otherwise
could restrict our ability to respond to the market in a timely manner. In relation to such examinations, the formats and
difficulty levels may also vary. In case of such alterations, updates or revisions, the study materials, coaching and testing
methodologies and structure of the courses have to be modified to suit the new type of questions and/or examination
patterns.
The emergence of new technologies, learning platforms and methods could affect the competitiveness of our services. Any
failure to promptly respond to market and industry changes may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial
condition.
This requires considerable planning and time. Further, this may also require additional training to be provided to our faculty
members in relation to inclusion of new and advanced topics, including better and improved methods within a short period
of time. Failure to update the course materials and to engage, train and retain adequately qualified faculty members may
affect our ability to adapt to the changes and, consequently, may affect our business, reputation and revenues. Our admission
and course structures and schedules are based on the current timelines for examinations, examination results and re-
examinations. If there is any significant change to the timeline for examinations, examination results or re-examinations,
this may adversely impact student enrolments and Student Count during our scheduled registration period and course
period. We may also have to alter our course structures and schedules on a timely basis to align with any such changes. A
decrease in student enrolments for a particular period would cause a corresponding decrease in Student Count, which will
materially adversely impact our revenue and operating profits.
8. Our business may be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain and develop our “Arihant Academy” brand in
Mumbai.
We associate our brand “Arihant Academy” with quality teaching and a consistent student selection track record.
Continuing to develop awareness of our brand across Maharashtra through focused and consistent branding and marketing
initiatives among current and prospective students, their parents, and other players in the coaching service industry will be
25
critical to our ability to increase enrolments, Student Count, revenues, penetration of our offerings in existing markets and
our expansion into new markets.
Factors that may impair our reputation and dilute the impact of our branding and marketing initiatives include, but are not
limited to: (a) failure to allocate appropriate resources and investment in marketing; (b) our ability to innovate and introduce
new marketing approaches; (c) the effectiveness of our competitors’ business and media strategies; (d) the success of our
students’ results as compared to the results of students who enrolled in our competitors’ courses; (e) any adverse publicity
involving our Centers, our students or faculty, including unsubstantiated media reports; and (f) the effectiveness of word-
of-mouth marketing and social media reviews by current and former students.
Any impairment of our reputation or erosion of our brand due to such factors, or any other risks or uncertainties, may have
a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations and future prospects.
9. The Restated Financial Statements have been provided by peer reviewed chartered accountants who are not Statutory
Auditors of our Company.
The Restated Financial Statements of our Company has been provided by a peer reviewed chartered accountant who is not
statutory auditor of our Company. Our statutory auditor does not hold a valid peer reviewed certificate and hence the same
has been provided by the different chartered accountant.
10. The coaching industry in India we operate in is currently not subject to extensive governmental regulation. However,
the central or state governments may introduce new laws and regulations for coaching service providers in the future.
The impact of such laws on the business cannot be ascertained presently and may affect our business adversely in the
future. Such regulations and changes may increase our compliance requirements and costs, which may affect our
business, results of operations and prospects adversely in the future.
The sector we operate in is not, at present, extensively regulated by central or state legislations. However, certain state
governments, including that of Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Kerala, Telangana and Uttar Pradesh have enacted laws to regulate
private coaching centers, requiring them to, among others, obtain a registration for operating the coaching centers, and such
registration may be cancelled in the event of violation of the relevant regulations, and the Company may be subject to
imposition of penalties. For example, the state government of Goa regulates fees charged by coaching centers, and requires
these centers to submit course prospectus, notes and other material at the time of applying for registration to the state
government.
Further, while we are not in a position to predict the likelihood, timing or content of any other regulation or legislation,
central or state governments may, however, introduce laws in the coaching services sector that may indirectly impact our
business or, more specifically, introduce laws regulating the coaching services sector more extensively. We may be subject
to further legal compliance should there be any changes or introduction of laws regulating the coaching service provider
industry. We may also need to hire and/or train new staff in order to ensure we comply with such new laws and regulations.
Additionally, any new laws or operating guidelines mandating limitations on, among other things, the number of students
enrolled at, or the amount of fees charged from students by, coaching centers, or any other conditions on the manner in
which we conduct our Centers, including enhanced student safety and security measures to be adopted, could adversely
affect our business, results of operations and prospects.
Such new laws may impact our operations, expansions, fees and other charges. Such regulations may curtail or impose
additional and onerous obligations on our operations and may adversely impact our business. Further, the applicable laws
may vary in each state, which could restrict our operations to specific states and prevent or slow down our expansion in
certain states. In order to comply with such legislation, we may be required to incur greater operational costs, which may
have a material adverse impact on our business.
11. Any breach of our students’ safety and security may negatively impact our reputation, business and financial condition.
Safety of students is becoming an increasing area of concern in the coaching service industry. A few instances of safety
breaches in the recent past by other educational institutions, including the victimization and harassment of students in
educational institutions, have recently come into focus. Safety and security of students is a serious issue for educational
institutions, students across all educational levels, and their parents. Failure to provide necessary safeguards to prevent the
occurrence of harmful incidents or any physical injury to our students may materially adversely affect our reputation,
business and financial condition. Further, any negative publicity regarding safety and security of students at our Centers
may materially adversely affect the operations of Centers which, in turn, may materially adversely affect our enrolments
and Student Count.
26
12. Our Centers are located in Mumbai. Due to this geographic concentration, our results of operation and growth might
be restricted in the event of any adverse changes to the economic and demographic conditions of Maharashtra.
Our business is dependent on the performance of our Centers in Mumbai, where we have an aggregate of 14 Centers as on
date of this Prospectus, our business, results of operations and financial condition has been and will continue to be dependent
on the prevailing conditions in Maharashtra. In the event of a natural calamity, economic slowdown or any disruption in
Maharashtra, or any developments that makes it difficult for us to operate these Centers, economically and otherwise, we
may experience more pronounced effects on our results of operations or financial condition, than if it were further
diversified across different geographical locations. Our strategic objectives include geographical expansion as well as
increasing our penetration across India. A significant drop in Student Count from the regions of India or any factors
requiring us to close existing centers or otherwise scale down operations in these regions, may adversely affect our business,
results of operations and prospects.
13. We have not entered into contracts or agreements with our faculty members in relation to their terms of appointment
and employment.
We have not entered into any contracts or agreements contracts with our faculty members. As a result, faculty members
may terminate their relationships with us without any notice and, without consequence, which could materially and
adversely impact our business. Consequently, our revenue may be subject to variability because of fluctuations in demand
for our services.
Although we place a strong emphasis on quality, pricing and timely delivery of our services, personal interaction by the
top management with the faculty, etc., in the absence of contracts, any sudden change in the buying pattern of buyers could
adversely affect the business and the profitability of our Company.
14. Any disruption in our information technology systems may adversely affect our business, results of operations and
prospects.
We rely heavily on our information technology systems in connection with online lectures, enrolments and student
identification, accounting, distribution in our business and the general running of our day-to-day business. As our operations
grow in size and scope, we must continuously upgrade our systems and infrastructure, while maintaining the reliability and
integrity of our systems and infrastructure in a cost-effective manner.
While we have backup systems and contingency plans, certain non-critical systems are not fully redundant and our disaster
recovery or business continuity planning may not be sufficient. Factors such as fires, power outages, telecommunications
or technical failures, disruption in internet infrastructure or access due to earthquakes, floods or other natural calamities or
adverse weather conditions, acts of war or terrorism, computer viruses, sabotage, break-ins and electronic intrusion attempts
from external or internal sources, difficulties in linkages with our students’ systems or payment gateway systems may cause
system interruptions, delays, security breaches or corruption or loss of critical data, and may prevent us from operating
some or all our business for a significant period of time, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business,
results of operations and prospects.
15. Our inability to enhance our fees or any reduction of fee charges may have an adverse impact on our Student Count,
revenues and profitability.
The fee charged for the services provided is one of the important factors considered by students and parents while selecting
our coaching services. With the increasing number of competitors, we may be compelled to reduce the fees charged, to
issue substantial concessions or fee discounts to attract new enrolments. Our inability to enhance our fees or any reduction
of fee charges may have an adverse impact on our Student Count, revenues and profitability. In the event of occurrence of
any of the above-mentioned risks, we may be unable to attract new, and/or to retain existing students. Any failure by us to
retain existing students or to attract new students may adversely impact our business and revenues.
16. Our business and revenue fluctuate based on the academic cycle and timelines for entrance examinations, which are
seasonal in nature and dependent on the release of the examination results.
Our business and revenues fluctuate based on the academic cycle of our courses and timelines of the entrance examinations,
which are cyclical in nature and dependent on the dates of the board/entrance examinations as well as the release of the
examination results. Depending on the timing of examinations and examination results, our Long-Term Courses generally
commence in phases starting in April, with repeater courses (which represent a significant portion of our revenue)
commencing in phases starting in May. Similarly, our courses generally end in phases in the fourth quarter, depending on
the timing of examinations. In terms of our expenses, many of them are fixed in nature and we incur them throughout the
27
year, though some are concentrated or increase in the first quarter, including salary increments for faculty, advertising and
publicity expenses to recruit students for courses in the new academic year, and expenses for new centers that have opened
but that are not yet conducting courses. As our revenue and expenses can fluctuate quarter-to-quarter, this may result in our
Company being more profitable in some quarters, generally the first and second quarters, and less profitable or even loss-
making in the third and fourth quarters. Given the factors discussed above, investors are cautioned that any comparison of
our results of operations between different periods in a year is not meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indicator
of our future business prospects of financial performance and our results of operations for any particular quarter may not
be indicative of our results of operations over longer time periods, such as a full fiscal year. Changes in revenue may vary
between the same quarter in different years for various reasons, including due to differences arising from changes in dates,
patterns or delays of any examinations or counselling schedules. Accordingly, any comparison of quarterly growth of our
Company over successive financial years may not accurately reflect our financial position and results of operation.
17. Our coaching service industry depends substantially on the faculty members and our ability to attract and retain them.
Sudden decrease in the number of our faculty members due to attrition may affect our operations and business. Strong
competition in the coaching service sector could also decrease our market share and compel us to reduce course fees or
provide higher discounts on our course fees. This may have a material adverse impact on our Student Count, revenues
and profitability.
We may fail to identify, recruit or retain adequate qualified faculty members. Any failure to meet such human resource
requirements may materially adversely affect our growth plans or negatively impact our quality and consistency of our
services. While we conduct various training and refresher programs for our faculty members on teaching subjects and
methodologies, personality and attitude development, and soft skills such as presentation, communication, leadership and
time-management in order to better equip our faculty members and to adapt to the changing needs of our students and
examination trends/syllabi, we may not be able to provide such training in a cost-effective manner. All of these factors
could materially and adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
18. Changes in technology may render our current technologies obsolete or require us to make substantial capital
investments.
Modernization and technology upgradation is essential to provide better products. Although we strive to keep our
technology in line with the latest standards, we may be required to implement new technology or upgrade the existing
employed by us. Further, the costs in upgrading our technology could be significant which could substantially affect our
finances and operations.
19. We require certain approvals and licenses in the ordinary course of business and are required to comply with certain
rules and regulations to operate our business, and the failure to obtain, retain and renew such approvals and licences
in timely manner or comply with such rules and regulations or at all may adversely affect our operations.
We require several statutory and regulatory permits, licenses and approvals to operate our business. Many of these approvals
are granted for fixed periods of time and need renewal from time to time. Non-renewal of the said permits and licenses
would adversely affect our Company’s operations, thereby having a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance that the relevant authorities will issue any of such permits or
approvals in the time-frame anticipated by us or at all. Further, some of our permits, licenses and approvals are subject to
several conditions and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to continuously meet such conditions or be
able to prove compliance with such conditions to the statutory authorities, which may lead to the cancellation, revocation
or suspension of relevant permits, licenses or approvals. Any failure by us to apply in time, to renew, maintain or obtain
the required permits, licenses or approvals, or the cancellation, suspension or revocation of any of the permits, licenses or
approvals may result in the interruption of our operations and may have a material adverse effect on the business. For
further details, please see chapters titled “Key Industry Regulations and Policies” and “Government and Other Statutory
Approvals” at pages 110 and 161 respectively of this Prospectus.
20. Our Group Company has incurred losses during the last three financial years.
Our Group Company, Arihant Academy Ventures Private Limited, has incurred losses in the last three fiscal years for which
their respective audited financial statements were available, as set forth in the table below.
(₹ in Lakhs)
Particulars 2022 2021 2020
Profit/Loss After Tax (30.15) (8.87) (11.72)
Net Worth (181.88) (151.74) (142.87)
28
We cannot assure you that our Group Company will not incur losses in the future or that such losses will not adversely
affect our reputation or our business. For further details, see “Our Group Company” on page 138 of the Prospectus.
21. Our company had not prepared Consolidated Financial Statements for the Financial Years 2022, 2021 and 2020 with
its then Associate Company, Arihant Academy Ventures Private Limited.
Our company had not prepared Consolidated Financial Statements for the Financial Years 2022, 2021 and 2020 with its
then Associate Company, Arihant Academy Ventures Private Limited. However, our company has made good of such non-
compliance as on date of this Prospectus. While no legal proceedings or regulatory action has been initiated against our
Company in relation to such non-compliance as of the date of this Prospectus, we cannot assure you that such regulatory
actions will not be initiated against our Company in future and we cannot assure you that we will not be subject to penalties
imposed by concerned regulatory authorities in this respect.
22. Strong competition in the coaching sector could decrease our market share and compel us to either reduce the fee
charged or increase the payments made to our faculty members. This may have an adverse impact on our enrolments,
revenues and profitability.
The coaching sector is highly fragmented and competitive. We not only compete with organized players but also a high
percentage of unorganized entities such as individual tutors and small-scale institutes. Some of them may pay better
attention to the individual needs of the students and may be capable of providing more personalized services to each student
due to the smaller number of students catered to by them. Further, these unorganized entities issue their services at highly
competitive prices having well established presence in their local markets. In addition, there are minimal entry barriers in
the coaching sector and hence we may also face competition from new entrants. Some of our faculty members, who
disassociate themselves from us, may also compete with our Company.
23. Within the parameters as mentioned in the chapter titled “Objects of the Issue” beginning on page 67 of this Prospectus,
our Company’s management will have flexibility in applying the proceeds of this Issue. The fund requirement and
deployment mentioned in the Objects of this Issue have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution.
We intend to use entire Net Proceeds towards meeting the working capital requirement and general corporate purpose. We
intend to deploy the Net Proceeds in financial year 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 and such deployment is based on certain
assumptions and strategy which our Company believes to implement in future. The funds raised from the Issue may remain
idle on account of change in assumptions, market conditions, strategy of our Company, etc., For further details on the use
of the Issue Proceeds, please refer chapter titled “Objects of the Issue” beginning on page 67 of this Prospectus.
The deployment of funds for the purposes described above is at the discretion of our Company’s Board of Directors. The
fund requirement and deployment are based on internal management estimates and has not been appraised by any bank or
financial institution. Accordingly, within the parameters as mentioned in the chapter titled “Objects of the Issue” beginning
on page 67 of this Prospectus, the Management will have significant flexibility in applying the proceeds received by our
Company from the Issue. Our Board of Directors will monitor the proceeds of this Issue.
24. Our Company has entered into related party transactions in the past and may continue to enter into related party
transactions in the future, which may potentially involve conflicts of interest with the equity shareholders.
Our Company have entered into certain related party transactions with our Promoters and Directors in the past. For details,
please see “Annexure J(i), J(ii) and J(iii) of Restated Consolidated Financial Statements” under the chapter titled “Restated
Financial Statements” beginning on page 141 of this Prospectus. While our Company believes that all such transactions
have been conducted on the arm’s length basis, there can be no assurance that it could not have been achieved on more
favourable terms had such transactions not been entered into with unrelated parties. Further, it is likely that we may enter
into related party transactions in the future and such transactions may potentially involve conflicts of interest. In terms of
the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI LODR Regulations, we are required to adhere to various compliance requirements such
as obtaining prior approvals from our Audit Committee, Board and Shareholders for certain party transactions and our
undertakes that such related party transactions shall not be done against the interests of the Company and its shareholders
as prescribed in the SEBI LODR Regulations. There can be no assurance that such transactions, individually or in the
aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
25. There have been instances of delays/ non-filing/ non-compliance in the past with certain statutory authorities with
certain provision of statutory regulations applicable to us. If the authorities impose monetary penalties on us or take
certain punitive actions against our Company in relation to the same, our business, financial condition and results of
operations could be adversely affected.
29
In the past, there have been some instances of delays/ non-filing/ non-compliance in the past with certain statutory
authorities with certain provision of statutory regulations applicable to us such as delay in filing of Annual Returns and
Financial Statements for the F.Y. 2007-2008, 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. Our company has also made delay in filing of
Form INC-22 for change in our registered office address. Further, the authorised share capital of the Company was
erroneously mentioned as ₹1,00,000 /- instead of ₹1,00,00,000/- in the balance sheet for FY 2007-2008 and 2009-2010
filed with various authorities. Additionally, the company had erroneously attached Standalone financial statements instead
of consolidated financial statements in Form AOC-4 CFS for FY 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21. The same cannot be
rectified since Re-filing of Annual Returns are not allowed under the provisions of the Companies Act. Further, our
company has obtained loan from Kotak Mahindra Bank which got modified on several instances. However, we have not
filed form CHG-1 in respect of such modifications on three instances, with the concerned Registrar of Companies. While
no legal proceedings or regulatory action has been initiated against our Company in relation to such non-compliance or
instances of non-filings or incorrect filings or delays in filing statutory forms with the RoC as of the date of this Prospectus,
we cannot assure you that such legal proceedings or regulatory actions will not be initiated against our Company in future
and we cannot assure you that we will not be subject to penalties imposed by concerned regulatory authorities in this respect.
Therefore, if the authorities impose monetary penalties on us or take certain punitive actions against our Company in
relation to the same, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
26. Our Company had negative cash flows in the past years, details of which are given below. Sustained negative cash flow
could impact our growth and business.
As per our Restated Standalone Financial Statements, our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are

Cash flow of a company is a key indicator to show the extent of cash generated from operations to meet capital expenditure,
pay dividends, repay loans and make new investments without raising finance from external resources.
If our Company is not able to generate sufficient cash flows, it may adversely affect our business and financial operations.
For details, please see chapter titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” beginning on page 144 of this Prospectus.
27. Our Registered Office and coaching centers are not owned by us. In the event we lose such rights, our business, financial
condition and results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.
Our registered office situated at Ground Floor, Triveni Sadan, Opp. Ambe Mata Temple, Carter Road No. 3, Borivali (East),
Mumbai – 400 066, Maharashtra, India is not owned by us and is taken on lease basis from Shri Gurudev Construction Co
for a period of 36 months commencing from December 01, 2021 and expiring on November 30, 2024. Further, our coaching
centers are situated at multiple locations in Maharashtra which are all taken on lease basis. Further, we cannot assure you
that we will be able to continue the above arrangement on commercially acceptable / favourable terms in future. Further,
our agreements for our branches situated at Bungalow No.11, Vaishnav Villa CHSL, Next to Hotel Avenue, Main Thakur
Complex, Kandivali East, Mumbai - 400 101, Maharashtra, 2nd Flr., Laxmi Villa, Bungalow No.12-13, Above Saraswat

and are in the process of renewal.
For further details, see section “Our Business” beginning on page 80 of this Prospectus. If we are required to vacate the
current premisses’, we would be required to make alternative arrangements for new offices and other infrastructure, and we
cannot assure that the new arrangements will be on commercially acceptable/favourable terms. If we are required to relocate
our business operations during this period, we may suffer a disruption in our operations or have to pay higher charges,
which could have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
28. We have an outstanding indebtedness which requires significant cash flows to service and are subject to certain
conditions and restrictions in terms of our financing arrangements, which restricts our ability to conduct our business
and operations in the manner we desire.
30
As of September 30, 2022, our secured borrowing were ₹66.60 Lakhs and we may continue to incur additional indebtedness
in the future. Our level of indebtedness has important consequences to us, such as:
• increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic, industry and competitive conditions;
• limiting our ability to borrow additional amounts in the future;
• affecting our capital adequacy requirements; and
• Increasing our finance costs.
In the event we breach any financial or other covenants contained in any of our financing arrangements or in the event we
had breached any terms in the past which is noticed in the future, we may be required to immediately repay our borrowings
either in whole or in part, together with any related costs. If the lenders of a material amount of the outstanding loans declare
an event of default simultaneously, our Company may be unable to pay its debts when they fall due. Also, our Company
has applied for the consent and NOC from Banker of our Company for the Proposed Initial Public Issue.
For further details of our Company’s borrowings, see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 144 of this Prospectus.
29. Any shortage or non-availability of electricity may adversely affect our provision of services and have an adverse impact
on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our services require a substantial amount of electricity and we depend mainly on state electricity supply for our power.
While we have not in the past been affected by any major power interruptions, in the event the Company fails to avail or
there is disruption of power supply from the state electricity department, the same could result in an increase in the cost of
power and disruption of our manufacturing process which may adversely affect our results of operations.
30. We could become liable to students, suffer adverse publicity and incur substantial costs as a result of defects in our
service, which in turn could adversely affect the value of our brand, and our sales could be diminished if we are
associated with negative publicity.
Any failure or defect in our service could result in a claim against us for damages, regardless of our responsibility for such
a failure or defect. Although we attempt to maintain quality standards, we cannot assure that all our services would be of
uniform quality, which in turn could adversely affect the value of our brand, and our sales could be diminished if we are
associated with negative publicity.
31. Our Promoters and Promoter Group have provided guarantees in connection with our borrowings. Our business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected by the revocation of all or any of the
guarantees provided by our Promoters and Promoter Group in connection with our Company’s borrowings.
Our Promoters and Promoter Group have provided guarantees for our borrowings. If any of these guarantees are revoked,
our lenders may require alternative guarantees or cancel such loans or facilities, entailing repayment of amounts outstanding
under such facilities. If we are unable to procure alternative guarantees satisfactory to our lenders, we may need to seek
alternative sources of capital, which may not be available to us at commercially reasonable terms or at all, or to agree to
more onerous terms under our financing agreements, which may limit our operational flexibility. Accordingly, our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected by the revocation of all or any
of the guarantees provided by our Promoters in connection with our Company’s borrowings. For further information, see
“Restated Financial Statements”, “History and Certain Corporate Matters” and “Financial Indebtedness” on pages 141,
116 and 144, respectively of this Prospectus.
As on the date of this Prospectus, the personal guarantee issued by our Individual Promoters and Promoter Group in favour
of Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited has not been withdrawn. We cannot assure you that we will not be required to furnish a
personal guarantee from our Individual Promoters and Promoter Group in favour of Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited will not
seek to penalise us for the delay in furnishing such personal guarantee from our Individual Promoters and Promoter Group.
32. Conflicts of interest may arise out of similar business undertaken by our Company, Promoter Group and our Group
Company, and/or business ventures in which certain of our directors are interested.
As at the date of this Prospectus, our Promoter, Promoter Group and our Group Company and/or certain of our directors
are engaged in or have interests in entities that are engaged in businesses similar to our Company. For instance, our directors
Mr. Anil Suresh Kapasi and Mr. Umesh Anand Pangam are also directors of Arihant Academy Ventures Private Limited,
which is in a similar line of business as our Company. Additionally, Mr. Anil Suresh Kapasi and Mr. Umesh Anand Pangam
are also designated partners of Team Arihant Carmel Academy LLP which is our Promoter Group. As a result, conflict of
interest may arise in future in allocating business opportunities amongst our Company, our Promoter, Promoter Group
31
and/or certain of our directors, where our respective interest diverges. The main objects, contained in the memorandum of
association, of our Group Companies are similar to our Company. We cannot assure you that our Group Company or
member of Promoter Group, will not compete with our existing business or any future business that we may undertake or
that their interests will not conflict with ours. We cannot assure you that our directors will not provide competitive services
or otherwise compete in business lines in which we are already present or will enter into in future. In the event that any
conflicts of interest arise, our directors may make decisions regarding our operations, financial structure or commercial
transactions that may not be in our shareholders’ best interest. It may also enable a competitor to take advantage of a
corporate opportunity at our expense. Such decisions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects. Should we face any such conflicts in the future, there is no guarantee that
they will get resolved in our favour.
33. Our inability to obtain, renew or maintain our statutory and regulatory permits and approvals required to operate our
business may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We will be required to renew permits and approvals in relation to our existing operations and obtain new permits and
approvals for any proposed operations as may be required under the applicable laws of the sector or region that we are
operating in. There can be no that will or any of permits or approvals in the time-frame anticipated by us or at all. Our
failure to renew, maintain or obtain the required permits or approvals may result in the interruption of our operations and
may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Compliance with many
of the regulations applicable to our operations may involve incurring costs and otherwise may impose restrictions on our
operations. There are some of the approvals such as PAN, TAN, GST, PF Registration, Maharashtra Class Owners’
Association, Shops and Establishment, Udyam Registration and Trademark Registration which are in the previous name,
“Arihant Academy Private Limited” and our Profession Tax Registration Certificate is under the previous name “India
Tutorials Private Limited”, we are taking necessary steps for transferring the same in the new name of our company. In
case we fail to transfer/obtain the same in the name of our company same may adversely affect our business or we may not
be able to carry our business. We cannot assure you that we will not be subject to any adverse regulatory action in the
future. If the interpretation of the regulators and authorities varies from our interpretation, we may be subject to penalties
and the business of our Company could be adversely affected. Further, if we fail to obtain or retain any of these approvals
or licenses, or renewals thereof, in a timely manner, or at all, our business may be adversely affected. If we fail to comply,
or a regulator claims we have not complied, with any of the terms and conditions stipulated under any of our licenses or
permits, one or several of our licenses and certificates may be suspended or cancelled and we shall not be able to carry on
the activities permitted thereunder. For further information, see “Government and Other Statutory Approvals” beginning
on page 161 of this Prospectus.
34. The brand name “ ” has been registered under the name of our company. Any failure to protect our intellectual
property could have a material adverse effect on our business. We are, and may also in the future be, subject to
intellectual property infringement claims, which may be expensive to defend and may disrupt our business
As on date of this Prospectus, the brand name “ ” has been registered under Class 41 of the Trade Mark Act, 1999
which is valid up to December 30, 2024. The said trademark belongs to our brand, if Company withdraws it or terminates
this arrangement or do not renew it, we will not be able to make use of the said trademark, name or logo in connection with
our business and consequently, we may be required to invest significant resources in changing our logo which may
adversely affect our reputation and business. We have been conducting our business using our logo and our customers
associate our logo with our Company and its operations.
Our ability to compete effectively depends in part upon our ability to protect our rights in trademarks and other intellectual
property that we have been registered. We seek to protect our logos, brand names and websites’ domain names by relying
on trademarks and domain name registrations. However, our efforts to protect our intellectual property may not be adequate.
The use of our name and logo is vital to our competitiveness and success and for us to attract and retain our customers and
business partners. Further, we cannot assure you that the measures we have taken will be sufficient to prevent any
misappropriation or infringement of our intellectual property
35. If we are unable to source business opportunities effectively, we may not achieve our financial objectives.
Our ability to achieve our financial objectives will depend on our ability to identify, evaluate and accomplish business
opportunities. To grow our business, we will need to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees and faculty members
and to implement systems capable of effectively accommodating our growth. However, we cannot assure you that any such
32
employees or faculty members will contribute to the success of our business or that we will implement such systems
effectively. Our failure to source business opportunities effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. It is also possible that the strategies used by us in the future may be different
from those presently in use. No assurance can be given that our analyses of market and other data or the strategies we use
or plans in future to use will be successful under various market conditions.
36. We are dependent on a number of key managerial personnel, including our Promoters, senior management, and the
loss of or our inability to attract or retain such persons with specialized technical know-how could adversely affect our
business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our performance depends largely on the efforts and abilities of our Promoters, senior management and other key managerial
personnel, including our present officers who have specialized technical know-how. The inputs and experience of our senior
management and key managerial personnel are valuable for the development of our business and operations strategy. We
cannot assure you that we will be able to retain these employees or find adequate replacements in a timely manner, or at
all. Our Company does not maintain any director’s and officer’s insurance policy. The loss of the services of such persons
could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. For further details
on the senior management and key managerial personnel of our Company, please refer to the chapter titled “Our
Management” beginning on page 120 of this Prospectus.
37. Our Promoters and Promoter Group will continue to retain significant control in our Company, which will allow them
to influence the outcome of matters submitted to shareholders for approval.
As of the date of this Prospectus, our Promoters and Promoter Group hold 100% of pre-issue share capital of our Company.
Furthermore, after the completion of this Issue, our Promoters and Promoter Group will control, directly or indirectly our
Company and continue to hold substantial percentage of the issued and paid-up equity share capital of our Company. As
a result, our Promoters and Promoter Group will continue to exercise significant control over us, including being able to
control the composition of our Board and determine decisions requiring simple or special majority voting of shareholders,
and our other shareholders may be unable to affect the outcome of such voting. Our Promoters and Promoter Group may
take or block actions with respect to our business which may conflict with the best interests of our Company or that of
minority shareholders. We cannot assure you that our Promoters and Promoter Group will exercise their rights as
shareholders to the benefit and best interest of our Company.
38. In addition to normal remuneration, other benefits and reimbursement of expenses some of our directors (including our
Promoters) are interested in our Company to the extent of their shareholding and dividend entitlement in our Company.
Some of our directors (including our Promoters) are interested in our Company to the extent of their shareholding and
dividend entitlement in our Company, in addition to normal remuneration or benefits and reimbursement of expenses. We
cannot assure you that our directors would always exercise their rights as shareholders to the benefit and best interest of
our Company. For further information, see the chapters titled “Our Management” and “Our Promoters and Promoter
Group” beginning on page 120 and 134 respectively of this Prospectus and the section titled “Financial Information”
beginning on page 141 of this Prospectus.
39. Our actual results could differ from the estimates and projections used to prepare our financial statements.
The estimates and projections are based on and reflect our current expectations, assumptions and/ or projections as well as
our perception of historical trends and current conditions, as well as other factors that we believe are appropriate and
reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that our expectations, estimates, assumptions and/or
projections, including with respect to the future earnings and performance will prove to be correct or that any of our
expectations, estimates or projections will be achieved.
40. Certain agreements may be inadequately stamped or may not have been registered as a result of which our operations
may be adversely affected.
Few of our agreements may not be stamped adequately. The effect of inadequate stamping is that the document is not
admissible as evidence in legal proceedings and parties to that agreement may not be able to legally enforce the same,
except after paying a penalty for inadequate stamping. Any potential dispute due to non-compliance of local laws relating
to stamp duty and registration may adversely impact the operations of our Company.
41. Our Company’s insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect us against all material hazards which may result in
disruptions of operations/monetary loss on account of stoppage of work.
33
Our business and assets could suffer damage from fire, natural calamities, misappropriation or other causes, resulting in
losses, which may not be fully compensated by insurance. There can be no assurance that the terms of our insurance policies
will be adequate to cover any damage or loss suffered by our Company or that such coverage will continue to be available
on reasonable terms or will be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims, or that the insurer will not
disclaim coverage as to any future claim. Further, our Company is required to renew these insurance policies from time to
time and in the event, we fail to renew the insurance policies within the time period prescribed in the respective insurance
policies or not obtain at all, our Company may face significant uninsured losses. If our Company suffers a large uninsured
loss or if any insured loss suffered, significantly exceeds our insurance coverage, our business, financial condition and
results of operations may be adversely affected.
42. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to successfully manage, or accurately
report, our financial risks.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to prepare reliable and avoid fraud. Moreover, any internal controls that we
may implement, or our level of compliance with such controls, may deteriorate over time, due to evolving business
conditions. We cannot assure you that deficiencies in our internal controls will not arise in the future, or that we will be
able to implement, and continue to maintain, adequate measures to rectify or mitigate any such deficiencies in our internal
controls. Any inability on our part to adequately detect, rectify or mitigate any such deficiencies in our internal controls
may affect ability to accurately report, or successfully manage, our financial risks, and to avoid fraud, which may in turn
adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
43. Any penalty or action taken by any regulatory authorities in future for non-compliance with provisions of corporate and
other law could impact the financial position of our Company.
Our Company may have not complied with certain accounting standards and has not taken Actuarial Valuation Report as
required as per AS-15 Employee Benefits. Although, no show cause notice in respect of the same has been received by the
Company till date. Any penalty imposed for such non-compliance could affect our financial conditions to that extent. In
relation to gratuity, we have not received any notice/communication from the relevant authority, for the previous defaults
till date.
The success of our business depends substantially on our ability to implement our business strategies effectively. Even
though we have successfully executed our business strategies in the past, there is no guarantee that we can implement the
same on time and within the estimated budget going forward, or that we will be able to meet the expectations of our targeted
clients. Changes in regulations applicable to us may also make it difficult to implement our business strategies. Failure to
implement our business strategies would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
45. The deployment of funds raised through this Issue shall not be subject to any Monitoring Agency and shall be purely
dependent on the discretion of the management of our Company, though it shall be monitored by our Audit Committee.
Since the issue size is less than ₹10,000 Lakhs, there is no mandatory requirement of appointing an Independent Monitoring
Agency for overseeing the deployment of utilization of funds raised through this Issue. The deployment of these funds
raised through this issue, is hence, at the discretion of the management and the Board of Directors of our Company and will
not be subject to monitoring by any independent agency. However, as per the Section 177 of the Companies Act, 2013 and
applicable laws, the Audit Committee of our Company would be monitoring the utilization of the Issue Proceeds.
46. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon our future earnings, financial condition, cash flows, working
capital requirements, capital expenditure and restrictive covenants in our financing arrangements.
We may retain all our future earnings, if any, for use in the operations and expansion of our business. As a result, we may
not declare dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends
will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on factors that our Board of Directors deem relevant,
including among others, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, business prospects and any other
financing arrangements. Accordingly, realization of a gain on shareholders investments may largely depend upon the
appreciation of the price of our Equity Shares. There can be no assurance that our Equity Shares will appreciate in value.
For details of our dividend history, see “Dividend Policy” beginning on page 140 of this Prospectus.
47. In the event there is any delay in the completion of the Issue, there would be a corresponding delay in the completion of
the objects / schedule of implementation of this Issue which would in turn affect our revenues and results of operations.
34
The funds that we receive would be utilized for the Objects of the Issue as has been stated in the Chapter “Objects of the
Issue” beginning on page 67 of this Prospectus. The proposed schedule of implementation of the objects of the issue is
based on our management’s estimates. If the schedule of implementation is delayed for any other reason whatsoever,
including any delay in the completion of the Issue, we may have to revise our business and development plans resulting in
unprecedented financial mismatch and this may adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.
48. We have not made any alternate arrangements for meeting our capital requirements for the Objects of the Issue. Further
we have not identified any alternate source of financing the Objects of the Issue. Any shortfall in raising / meeting the
same could adversely affect our growth plans, business operations and financial condition.
As on date of this Prospectus, we have not made any alternate arrangements for meeting our capital requirements for some
of the objects of the issue. We meet our capital requirements through, owned funds and internal accruals. Any shortfall in
our net owned funds, internal accruals and our inability to raise debt in future would result in us being unable to meet our
capital requirements, which in turn will negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations. Further we have
not identified any alternate source of funding and hence any failure or delay on our part to raise money from this issue or
any shortfall in the net issue proceeds may delay the implementation schedule and could adversely affect our growth plans.
For further details, please refer to the chapter titled “Objects of the Issue” beginning on page 67 of this Prospectus.
49. We could be harmed by employee misconduct or errors that are difficult to detect and any such incidences could
adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and reputation.
Employee misconduct or errors could expose us to business risks or losses, including termination of our contracts,
regulatory sanctions and serious harm to our reputation. There can be no assurance that we will be able to detect or deter
such misconduct. Moreover, the precautions we take to prevent and detect such activity may not be effective in all cases.
Our employees and other professionals, agents and / or technicians may also commit errors that could subject us to claims
and proceedings for alleged negligence, as well as regulatory actions on account of which our business, financial condition,
results of operations and goodwill could be adversely affected.
50. The requirements of being a public listed company may strain our resources and impose additional requirements.
With the increased scrutiny of the affairs of a public listed company by shareholders, regulators and the public at large, we
will incur significant legal, accounting, corporate governance and other expenses that we did not incur in the past. We will
also be subject to the provisions of the listing agreements signed with the Stock Exchange(s) which require us to file
unaudited financial results on a half yearly basis. In order to meet our financial control and disclosure obligations,
significant resources and management supervision will be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted
from other business concerns, which could have an adverse effect on our business and operations. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to satisfy our reporting obligations and/or readily determine and report any changes to our results of
operations in a timely manner as other listed companies. In addition, we will need to increase the strength of our
management team and hire additional legal and accounting staff with appropriate public company experience and
accounting knowledge and we cannot assure that we will be able to do so in a timely manner.
51. The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoters could be lower than the price determined at time of
registering the Prospectus.
Our Promoters average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares in our Company may be lower than the Price as may be decided
by the Company in consultation with the Lead Manager. For further details regarding average cost of acquisition of Equity
Shares by our Promoters in our Company and build-up of Equity Shares by our Promoters in our Company, please refer
chapter title “Capital Structure” beginning on page 57 of this Prospectus.
52. An investment in the Equity Shares is subject to general risk related to investments in Indian Companies.
Our Company is incorporated in India and all of our assets and employees are located in India. Consequently, our business,
results of operations, financial condition and the market price of the Equity Shares will be affected by changes in interest
rates in India, policies of the Government of India, including taxation policies along with policies relating to industry,
political, social and economic developments affecting India.
53. Any variation in the utilization of the Net Proceeds of the Issue as disclosed in this Prospectus shall be subject to certain
compliance requirements, including prior Shareholders’ approval.
35
We propose to utilize the Net Proceeds for funding working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. For further
details of the proposed objects of the issue, please see chapter titled “Objects of the Issue” beginning on page 67 of this
Prospectus. In accordance with Section 27 of the Companies Act, 2013, we cannot undertake any variation in the utilization
of the Net Proceeds from the Fresh Issue as disclosed in this Prospectus without obtaining the shareholders’ approval
through a special resolution. In the event of any such circumstances that requires us to undertake variation in the disclosed
utilisation of the Net Proceeds, we may not be able to obtain the Shareholders’ approval in a timely manner, or at all. Any
delay or inability in obtaining such Shareholders’ approval may adversely affect our business or operations. Further, our
Promoters or controlling shareholders would be required to provide an exit opportunity to the shareholders who do not
agree with our proposal to modify the objects of the Issue as prescribed in the SEBI ICDR Regulations. If our shareholders
exercise such exit option, our business and financial condition could be adversely affected. Therefore, we may not be able
to undertake variation of objects of the issue to use any unutilized proceeds of the issue, if any, even if such variation is in
the interest of our Company, which may restrict our ability to respond to any change in our business or financial condition,
and may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
54. We have issued Equity Shares during the last one year at a price below the Issue Price.
Our Company had issued Bonus shares of 44,10,000 equity shares on August 23, 2022 in the ratio 441:1 in the last 12
months which may be at lower than the Issue Price. The Equity Shares allotted to shareholders pursuant to this Issue may
be priced significantly higher due to various reasons including better performance by the Company, better economic
conditions and passage of time. For further details, see “Capital Structure” on page 57 of this Prospectus.
55. The Issue Price of the Equity Shares may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares after the Issue.
The Issue Price of the Equity Shares will be determined by our Company in consultation with the and the Lead Manager,
and through Fixed Price Process. This price will be based on numerous factors, as described under “Basis for Issue Price”
beginning on page 72 of this Prospectus and may not be indicative of the market price for the Equity Shares after the Issue.
The market price of the Equity Shares could be subject to significant fluctuations after the Issue, and may decline below
the Issue Price. We cannot assure you that the investor will be able to resell their Equity Shares at or above the Issue Price.
56. Our Equity Shares have never been publicly traded, and may experience price and volume fluctuations following the
completion of the Issue. Further, our Equity Shares may not result in an active or liquid market and the price of our
Equity Shares may be volatile and you may be unable to resell your Equity Shares at or above the Issue Price or at all.
Prior to the Issue, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market may not develop or
be sustained after the issue. Listing and quotation do not guarantee that a market for our Equity Shares will develop or, if
developed, does not guarantee the liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares. Investors might not be able to rapidly sell
the Equity Shares at the quoted price if there is no active trading in the Equity Shares. The Issue Price of the Equity Shares
has been determined by our Company in consultation with the LM through the Fixed Price Process. The market price of
the Equity Shares may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors, variations in our operating
results of our Company, market conditions specific to the industry we operate in, developments relating to India, volatility
in securities markets in jurisdictions other than India, variations in the growth rate of financial indicators, variations in
revenue or earnings estimates by research publications, and changes in economic, legal and other regulatory factors.
57. There is no guarantee that the Equity Shares issued pursuant to the Issue will be listed on the NSE Emerge in a timely
manner or at all.
In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing and trading of the Equity Shares issued pursuant to the
Issue will not be granted until after the Equity Shares have been issued and allotted. Approval for listing and trading will
require all relevant documents authorizing the issuing of Equity Shares to be submitted. There could be a failure or delay
in listing the Equity Shares on the NSE Emerge. Any failure or delay in obtaining the approval would restrict your ability
to dispose of your Equity Shares.
58. Any future issuance of Equity Shares may dilute your shareholding and sale of our Equity Shares by our Promoters or
other shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Any future equity issuances by us, including in a primary offering, may lead to the dilution of investors’ shareholdings in
our Company. Any future equity issuances by us or sales of our Equity Shares by our Promoter or other major shareholders
may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or
sales might occur could also affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.
36
59. There are restrictions on daily weekly monthly movement in the price of the equity shares, which may adversely affect
the shareholder’s ability to sell for the price at which it can sell, equity shares at a particular point in time.
Once listed, we would be subject to circuit breakers imposed by the stock exchange, which does not allow transactions
beyond specified increases or decreases in the price of the Equity Shares. This circuit breaker operates independently of the
index- based market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed by SEBI. The percentage limit on circuit breakers is said by
the stock exchange based on the historical volatility in the price and trading volume of the Equity Shares. The stock
exchange does not inform us of the percentage limit of the circuit breaker in effect from time to time, and may change it
without our knowledge. This circuit breaker limits the upward and downward movements in the price of the Equity Shares.
As a result of the circuit breaker, no assurance may be given regarding your ability to sell your Equity Shares or the price
at which you may be able to sell your Equity Shares at any particular time.
60. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Equity Shares
Under current Indian tax laws and regulations, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity
shares in an Indian company are generally taxable in India. A securities transaction tax (“STT”) is levied on and collected
by an Indian stock exchange on which equity shares are sold. Any capital gain exceeding ₹100,000, realized on the sale of
equity shares held for more than 12 months immediately preceding the date of transfer, which are sold using any other
platform other than on a recognized stock exchange and on which no STT has been paid, are subject to long-term capital
gains tax in India.
The Finance Act, 2019 amended the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 with effect from July 1, 2020 and clarified that, in the absence
of a specific provision under an agreement, the liability to pay stamp duty in case of sale of securities through stock
exchanges will be on the buyer, while in other cases of transfer for consideration through a depository, the onus will be on
the transferor. The stamp duty for transfer of securities other than debentures on a delivery basis is specified at 0.015% and
on a non-delivery basis is specified at 0.003% of the consideration amount. The Finance Act, 2020, has, among others
things, provided a number of amendments to the direct and indirect tax regime, including, without limitation, a simplified
alternate direct tax regime and that dividend distribution tax will not be payable in respect of dividends declared, distributed
or paid by a domestic company after March 31, 2020, and accordingly, that such dividends not be exempt in the hands of
the shareholders, both resident as well as non-resident, and that such dividends likely be subject to tax deduction at source.
The Company may or may not grant the benefit of a tax treaty (where applicable) to a non-resident shareholder for the
purposes of deducting tax at source from such dividend. Investors should consult their own tax advisors about the
consequences of investing or trading in the Equity Shares.
Further, any gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less will be subject to short-
term capital gains tax in India. In cases where the seller is a non-resident, capital gains arising from the sale of the equity
shares will be partially or wholly exempt from taxation in India in cases where the exemption from taxation in India is
provided under a treaty between India and the country of which the seller is resident. Historically, Indian tax treaties do not
limit India’s ability to impose tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of other countries may be liable for tax in India as
well as in their own jurisdiction on a gain upon the sale of the equity shares.
Further, we cannot predict whether any tax laws or other regulations impacting it will be enacted, or predict the nature and
impact of any such laws or regulations or whether, if at all, any laws or regulations would have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Government of India had announced the union
budget for financial year 2023 and the Finance Act, 2022 received assent from the President of India on March 30, 2022.
There is no certainty on the impact that the Finance Act, 2022 may have on our business and operations or in the industry
we operate in.
61. Significant differences exist between Indian GAAP and other accounting principles, such as US GAAP and IFRS, which
may be material to investors assessments of Our Company's financial condition. Our failure to successfully adopt IFRS
may have an adverse effect on the price of our Equity Shares. The proposed adoption of IFRS could result in our
financial condition and results of operations appearing materially different than under Indian GAAP.
Our restated financial statements, including the financial statements provided in this Prospectus, are prepared in accordance
with Indian GAAP. We have not attempted to quantify the impact of IFRS or U.S. GAAP on the financial data included in
this Prospectus, nor do we provide a reconciliation of our financial statements to those of U.S. GAAP or IFRS. U.S. GAAP
and IFRS differ in significant respects from Indian GAAP. For details, refer chapter titled “Presentation of Financial
Industry and Market Data” beginning on Page 13 of this Prospectus.
Accordingly, the degree to which the Indian GAAP financial statements included in this Prospectus will provide meaningful
information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Indian accounting practices. Any reliance by
37
persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Prospectus should
accordingly be limited. India has decided to adopt the “Convergence of its existing standards with IFRS” and not the
“International Financial Reporting Standards” (“IFRS”), which was announced by the MCA, through the press note dated
January 22, 2010. These “IFRS based / synchronized Accounting Standards” are referred to in India as IND (AS). Public
companies in India, including our Company, may be required to prepare annual and interim financial statements under IND
(AS). The MCA, through a press release dated February 25, 2011, announced that it will implement the converged
accounting standards in a phased manner after various issues, including tax related issues, are resolved. Further, MCA
Notification dated February 16, 2015, has provided an exemption to the Companies proposing to list their shares on the
SME Exchange as per Chapter IX of the SEBI ICDR Regulations and hence the adoption of IND (AS) by a SME exchange
listed Company is voluntary. Accordingly, we have made no attempt to quantify or identify the impact of the differences
between Indian GAAP and IFRS or to quantify the impact of the difference between Indian GAAP and IFRS as applied to
its financial statements. There can be no assurance that the adoption of IND-AS will not affect our reported results of
operations or financial condition. Any failure to successfully adopt IND-AS may have an adverse effect on the trading price
of our Equity Shares. Currently, it is not possible to quantify whether our financial results will vary significantly due to the
convergence to IND (AS), given that the accounting principles laid down in the IND (AS) are to be applied to transactions
and balances carried in books of accounts as on the date of the applicability of the converged standards, i.e., IND (AS) and
for future periods.
Moreover, if we volunteer for transition to IND (AS) reporting, the same may be hampered by increasing competition and
increased costs for the relatively small number of IND (AS)-experienced accounting personnel available as more Indian
companies begin to prepare IND (AS) financial statements. Any of these factors relating to the use of converged Indian
Accounting Standards may adversely affect our financial condition.
62. Foreign investors are subject to foreign investment restrictions under Indian law that limits our ability to attract foreign
investors, which may adversely impact the market price of the Equity Shares.
Under the foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfers of shares between non-residents and residents
are freely permitted (subject to certain exceptions) if they comply with the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements
specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares, which are sought to be transferred, is not in compliance with such pricing
guidelines or reporting requirements or fall under any of the exceptions referred to above, then the prior approval of the
RBI will be required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert the Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into
foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India will require a no objection/ tax clearance certificate from
the income tax authority. There can be no assurance that any approval required from the RBI or any other government
agency can be obtained on any particular terms or at all.
EXTERNAL RISKS
63. Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy and cause our Company’s business to suffer.
India has experienced natural calamities such as earthquakes, tsunami, floods etc. In recent years, the extent and severity
of these natural disasters determine their impact on the Indian economy. Prolonged spells of abnormal rainfall or other
natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy, which could adversely affect our business,
prospects, financial condition and results of operations as well as the price of the Equity Shares.
64. Terrorist attacks, civil unrests and other acts of violence or war involving India or other countries could adversely affect
the financial markets, our business, financial condition and the price of our Equity Shares.
Any major hostilities involving India or other acts of violence, including civil unrest or similar events that are beyond our
control, could have a material adverse effect on India’s economy and our business. Incidents such as the terrorist attacks,
other incidents such as those in US, Indonesia, Madrid and London, and other acts of violence may adversely affect the
Indian stock markets where our Equity Shares will trade as well the global equity markets generally. Such acts could
negatively impact business sentiment as well as trade between countries, which could adversely affect our Company’s
business and profitability. Additionally, such events could have a material adverse effect on the market for securities of
Indian companies, including the Equity Shares.
65. If there is any change in tax laws or regulations, or their interpretation, such changes may significantly affect our
financial statements for the current and future years, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial position,
business and results of operations.
The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate is evolving and subject to change. Our business and financial
performance could be adversely affected by unfavourable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of
38
new, laws, rules and regulations applicable to us and our business. In such instances, and including the instances mentioned
below, our business, results of operations and prospects may be adversely impacted, to the extent that we are unable to
suitably respond to and comply with any such changes in applicable law and policy. Any political instability in India, such
as corruption, scandals and protests against certain economic reforms, which have occurred in the past, could slow the pace
of liberalization and deregulation. The rate of economic liberalization could change, and specific laws and policies affecting
foreign investment, currency exchange rates and other matters affecting investment in India could change as well.
Additionally, the Government of India has introduced (a) the Code on Wages, 2019; (b) the Code on Social Security, 2020;
(c) the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020; and (d) the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 which
consolidate, subsume and replace numerous existing central labour legislations. While the rules for implementation under
these codes have not been notified, the implementation of such laws could increase our employee and labour costs, thereby
adversely impacting our results of operations, cash flows, business and financial performance.
The application of various Indian tax laws, rules and regulations to our business, currently or in the future, is subject to
interpretation by the applicable taxation authorities. For instance, companies can voluntarily opt in favour of a concessional
tax regime (subject to no other special benefits/exemptions being claimed), which reduces the rate of income tax payable
to 22% subject to compliance with conditions prescribed, from the erstwhile 25% or 30% depending upon the total turnover
or gross receipt in the relevant period. Any such future amendments may affect our other benefits such as exemption for
income earned by way of dividend from investments in other domestic companies and units of mutual funds, exemption
for interest received in respect of tax-free bonds, and long-term capital gains on equity shares if withdrawn by the statute
in the future, and the same may no longer be available to us. Any adverse order passed by the appellate authorities/ tribunals/
courts would have an effect on our profitability.
Further, the GoI has announced the union budget for Fiscal 2023, pursuant to which the Finance Bill, 2022 (“Finance Bill”),
has introduced various amendments. The Finance Bill has received assent from the President of India on March 30, 2022,
and has been enacted as the Finance Act, 2022. We cannot predict whether any amendments made pursuant to the Finance
Act, 2022 would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, changes
in capital gains tax or tax on capital market transactions or the sale of shares could affect investor returns. As a result, any
such changes or interpretations could have an adverse effect on our business and financial performance.
There can be no assurance that the GoI will not implement new regulations and policies requiring us to obtain approvals
and licenses from the GoI or other regulatory bodies, or impose onerous requirements and conditions on our operations.
Any such changes and the related uncertainties with respect to the applicability, interpretation and implementation of any
amendment or change to governing laws, regulation or policy, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of
administrative or judicial precedent in the jurisdictions in which we operate may be time consuming as well as costly for
us to resolve and may impact the viability of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future.
It may also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. In
addition, we may have to incur expenditures to comply with the requirements of any new regulations, which could
materially harm our results of operations or cash flows. Any unfavourable changes to the laws and regulations applicable
to us could also subject us to additional liabilities.
We are unable to determine the impact of any changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of, new, laws,
rules and regulations applicable to us and our business. If that was to occur it could result in us, our business, operations or
group structure being deemed to be in contravention of such laws and/or may require us to apply for additional approvals.
We may incur increased costs and other burdens relating to compliance with such new requirements, which may also require
significant management time and other resources, and any failure to comply may adversely affect our business, results of
operations and prospects. Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change
in, governing law, regulation or policy, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial
precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may impact the viability of our current business
or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future.
66. Global economic, political and social conditions may harm our ability to do business, increase our costs and negatively
affect our stock price.
Global economic and political factors that are beyond our control, influence forecasts and directly affect performance.
These factors include interest rates, rates of economic growth, fiscal and monetary policies of governments, inflation,
deflation, foreign exchange fluctuations, consumer credit availability, fluctuations in commodities markets, consumer debt
levels, unemployment trends and other matters that influence consumer confidence, spending and tourism. Increasing
volatility in financial markets may cause these factors to change with a greater degree of frequency and magnitude, which
may negatively affect our stock prices.
39
67. Political instability or a change in economic liberalization and deregulation policies could seriously harm business and
economic conditions in India generally and our business in particular.
The Government of India has traditionally exercised and continues to exercise influence over many aspects of the economy.
Our business and the market price and liquidity of our Equity Shares may be affected by interest rates, changes in
Government policy, taxation, social and civil unrest and other political, economic or other developments in or affecting
India. The rate of economic liberalization could change, and specific laws and policies affecting the information technology
sector, foreign investment and other matters affecting investment in our securities could change as well. Any significant
change in such liberalization and deregulation policies could adversely affect business and economic conditions in India,
generally, and our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, in particular.
68. Any downgrading of India’s sovereign rating by an independent agency may harm our ability to raise financing.
Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international rating agencies may
adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing, and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such
additional financing may be available. This could have an adverse effect on our business and future financial performance,
our ability to obtain financing for capital expenditures and the trading price of our Equity Shares.
69. The ability of Indian companies to raise foreign capital may be constrained by Indian law.
As an Indian Company, we are subject to exchange controls that regulate borrowing in foreign currencies, including those
specified under FEMA. Such regulatory restrictions limit our financing sources for our projects under development and
hence could constrain our ability to obtain financing on competitive terms and refinance existing indebtedness. In addition,
we cannot assure you that the required approvals will be granted to us without onerous conditions, or at all. Limitations on
foreign debt may adversely affect our business growth, results of operations and financial condition.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Our Company was originally incorporated under the name “India Tutorials Private Limited” under the provisions of the
Companies Act, 1956 and Certificate of Incorporation was issued by the Registrar of Companies, Mumbai, Maharashtra on
October 30, 2007. Subsequently, the name of our Company was changed to “Arihant Academy Private Limited” via
Shareholders’ Resolution dated September 18, 2012 pursuant to which fresh Certificate of Incorporation dated October 31,
2012 was issued by Registrar of Companies, Mumbai, Maharashtra. Consequently, the status of the Company was changed

the discretion of the management. In the event of any shortfall of funds for the activities proposed to be financed out of the
Net Proceeds as stated above, our Company may re-allocate the Net Proceeds to the activities where such shortfall has
arisen, subject to compliance with applicable laws. Further, in case of a shortfall in the Net Proceeds or cost overruns, our
management may explore a range of options including utilising our internal accruals or seeking debt financing.
The fund requirements set out for the aforesaid Objects of the Issue are proposed to be met entirely from the Net Proceeds.
Accordingly, our Company confirms that there is no requirement to make firm arrangements of finance through verifiable
means towards at least 75% of the stated means of finance, excluding the amount to be raised from the Issue as required

SECTION VI – ABOUT THE COMPANY
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The information in this chapter has been extracted from the websites of and publicly available documents from various
sources. The data may have been re-classified by us for the purpose of presentation. Neither we nor any other person
connected with this Offer has independently verified the information provided in this chapter. Industry sources and
publications, referred to in this chapter, generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from
sources generally believed to be reliable but their accuracy, completeness and underlying assumptions are not guaranteed
and their reliability cannot be assured, and, accordingly, investment decisions should not be based on such information.
Global economic activity is experiencing a broad-based and sharper-than-expected slowdown, with inflation higher than
seen in several decades. The cost-of-living crisis, tightening financial conditions in most regions, Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine, and the lingering COVID-19 pandemic all weigh heavily on the outlook. Global growth is forecast to slow from
6.0 percent in 2021 to 3.2 percent in 2022 and 2.7 percent in 2023. This is the weakest growth profile since 2001 except for
the global financial crisis and the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Global inflation is forecast to rise from 4.7 percent in 2021 to 8.8 percent in 2022 but to decline to 6.5 percent in 2023 and
to 4.1 percent by 2024. Monetary policy should stay the course to restore price stability, and fiscal policy should aim to
alleviate the cost-of-living pressures while maintaining a sufficiently tight stance aligned with monetary policy. Structural
reforms can further support the fight against inflation by improving productivity and easing supply constraints, while
multilateral cooperation is necessary for fast-tracking the green energy transition and preventing fragmentation.
The slowdown in global economic activity is broad-based and sharper-than-expected, with inflation higher than seen in
decades. The economic outlook depends on a successful calibration of monetary and fiscal policies, the course of the war
in Ukraine, and growth prospects in China. Risks remain unusually large: monetary policy could miscalculate the right
stance to reduce inflation; diverging policy paths in the largest economies could exacerbate the US dollar’s appreciation;
tightening global financing could trigger emerging market debt distress; and a worsening of China’s property sector crisis
could undermine growth. Policymakers should focus on restoring price stability and alleviating cost-of-living pressures.
Multilateral cooperation remains necessary to fast-track the green energy transition and prevent fragmentation.

INDIAN ECONOMY OVERVIEW
The Indian economy has fully recovered to the pre-pandemic real GDP level of 2019-20, according to the provisional
estimates of GDP released on May 31, 2022. Real GDP growth in FY 2021-22 stands at 8.7%, which is 1.5% higher than
the real GDP in FY 2019-20. These figures are associated with stronger growth momentum, indicating increased economic
demand. The investment rate in the fourth quarter increased to its highest level in the previous nine quarters. Moreover,
capacity utilisation in the manufacturing sector rose in the fourth quarter, as against the third quarter, implying a build-up
in demand, which is consistent with the growth objectives of the Indian economy.
Future capital spending of the government in the Indian economy is expected to be supported by factors such as tax
buoyancy, streamlined tax system, thorough assessment and rationalisation of the tariff structure and digitisation of tax
filing. In the medium term, an increase in capital spending on infrastructure and asset-building projects is set to increase
growth multipliers. Furthermore, revival in monsoon and Kharif sowing helped the agriculture sector gain momentum. As
of July 11, 2022, the South-West monsoon has covered the entire country, resulting in 7% higher rainfall than the normal
level. India has emerged as the fastest-growing major economy in the world, and is expected to be one of the top three
economic powers globally over the next 10-15 years, backed by its robust democracy and strong partnerships.
Market Size
India’s nominal GDP at current prices was estimated at Rs. 232.15 trillion (US$ 3.12 trillion) in FY22. With more than 100
unicorns valued at US$ 332.7 billion, India has the third-largest unicorn base in the world. The government is also focusing
on renewable sources to generate energy, and is planning to achieve 40% of its energy from non-fossil sources by 2030.
According to the McKinsey Global Institute, India needs to boost its rate of employment growth and create 90 million non-
farm jobs between 2023 and 2030 in order to increase productivity and economic growth. The net employment rate needs
to grow by 1.5% per annum from 2023 to 2030 to achieve 8-8.5% GDP growth between this period. India's current account
deficit (CAD), primarily driven by an increase in the trade deficit, stood at 1.2% of GDP in 2021-22.
Exports fared remarkably well during the pandemic and aided recovery when all other growth engines lost steam in terms
of their contribution to GDP. Going forward, the contribution of merchandise exports may waver as several of India’s trade
partners witness an economic slowdown. According to Mr. Piyush Goyal, Minister of Commerce and Industry, Consumer
Affairs, Food and Public Distribution and Textiles, Indian exports are expected to reach US$ 1 trillion by 2030.
81
Recent Developments
India is primarily a domestic demand-driven economy, with consumption and investments contributing 70% to the
country’s economic activity. With the economic scenario improving on recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic shock,
several investments and developments have been made across various sectors of the economy. According to World Bank,

value of Rs. 2.37 lakh crore (US$ 31.74 billion) to their accounts.
Government Initiatives
Over the years, the Indian government has introduced many initiatives to strengthen the nation's economy. The government
has been effective in developing policies and programmes that are not only beneficial for citizens to improve their financial
stability but also for the overall growth of the economy. Over the recent decade, India's rapid economic growth has led to
a substantial increase in demand for exports. Moreover, many of the government's flagship programmes, including Make
in India, Start-up India, Digital India, the Smart City Mission and the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban

Road Ahead
Despite continuing geopolitical concerns, rising interest rates in the US and India and high prices of crude oil and few other
commodities, economic activity in India is holding up better than anticipated. Electricity consumption, manufacturing PMI,
exports, power supply and other high-frequency indicators indicate that the pace of economic activity has fully recovered
from the COVID-19 pandemic shock. Economic growth is anticipated to be fueled by the effective implementation of PLI
schemes, development of renewable energy sources while diversifying import dependence on crude oil and bolstering of
the banking sector. Recent government initiatives to boost revenue will aid in containing the rise in the current account
deficit and ensure that any potential fiscal slippage is adequately contained. Overall, the first ten days of July and June were
84
better than the first two months of FY 2022–23, which is a cause for comfort and even cautious optimism in these testing
times. According to a Boston Consulting Group (BCG) analysis, India is expected to be the third-largest consumer economy
as its consumption may quadruple to US$ 4 trillion by 2025 due to changes in consumer behavior and spending patterns.
By 2040, India is anticipated to overtake the US to become the second-largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity
(PPP), according to a report by PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Overview
The tertiary sector of the economy (also known as the services sector or the service industry) is one of the three economic
sectors, the others being the secondary sector (approximately the same as manufacturing) and the primary sector
(agriculture, fishing, and extraction such as mining).
For the last 100 years, there has been a substantial shift from the primary and secondary sectors to the tertiary sector in
industrialised countries. This shift is called tertiarization. The tertiary sector is now the largest sector of the economy in the
world, and the fastest-growing sector.
In examining the growth of the service sector in the early Nineties, the globalist Kenichi Ohmae noted that:
In the United States 70 percent of the workforce works in the service sector; in Japan, 60 percent, and in Taiwan, 50 percent.
These are not necessarily busboys and live-in maids. Many of them are in the professional category. They are earning as
much as manufacturing workers, and often more.
According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, during the last half of the 20th century, the service sector became the
largest and fastest-growing part of the U.S. economy. During the first half of the century, the service sector represented
about 60 per cent of the economy, but by the end of the 20th century, it represented about 80 per cent. This has been a
significant shift and an ongoing transition from an agrarian (farming) economy to manufacturing, and, ultimately, to the
service economy that we see today.
World Bank has pointed to the higher contribution of growth in the services sector to poverty reduction than the contribution
of growth in the agriculture or manufacturing sectors.
• As economy shifts from developing to developed stage, they will show more and more shift towards services.
• Today, the fastest growing segment of the US economy is services.
• The US balance of trade in goods has remained in the red for many years, but here has been a trade surplus in services.
• Today service sector dominates the economics of many developed nations. As countries develop the role of agriculture
in the economy declines and that of services increase (China has 44.6% GDP from service, 45.5% from industry, and
10% from agriculture sector).
• During recession it has been seen that service output declines less than industrial output – the service employment is
less sensitive to business cycle fluctuation.
• Globalization as strategy for service firm is becoming more important.

Introduction
The reforms of the 1990s have been associated with the expansion of the service sector in India. Midway through the 1980s,
the service sector began to expand, but it really took off in the 1990s when India started a series of economic reforms in
response to a serious balance of payments issue. The services sector is not only the dominant sector in India’s GDP, but
has also attracted significant foreign investment, has contributed significantly to export and has provided large-scale
employment. India’s services sector covers a wide variety of activities such as trade, hotel and restaurants, transport, storage
and communication, financing, insurance, real estate, business services, community, social and personal services, and
services associated with construction.
85
In order to enhance India's commercial services exports, share in the global services market from 3.3% and permit a multi-
fold expansion in the GDP, the government is also making significant efforts in this direction. India is a unique emerging
market in the globe due to its unique skills and competitive advantage created by knowledge-based services. The Indian
services industry, which is supported by numerous government initiatives like smart Cities, clean India, digital India are
fostering an environment that is strengthening the services sector. The sector has the potential to open up a multi-trillion-
dollar opportunity that might stimulate symbiotic growth for all nations.
Market Size

Road Ahead
Both domestic and global factors influence the growth of the services sector. An extensive range of service industries have
experienced double digit growth in recent years, supported by digital technologies and institutional frameworks made
possible by the government. The ease of doing business in India has significantly increased for domestic and foreign firms
due to considerable advancements in culture and the government outlook. Due to ongoing changes in the areas of lowering
trade barriers, easing FDI regulations, and deregulation, India's services sector is poised to grow at a healthy rate in the
coming years.
By 2025, healthcare industry is expected to reach US$ 372 billion. India’s digital economy is estimated to reach US$ 1
trillion by 2025. By end of 2023, India’s IT and business services sector is expected to reach US$ 14.3 billion with 8%
growth. The implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) has created a common national market and reduced the
overall tax burden on goods. It is expected to reduce costs in the long run-on account of availability of GST input credit,
which will result in the reduction in prices of services. India's software service industry is expected to reach US$ 1 trillion
by 2030.
Due to ongoing changes in the areas of lowering trade barriers, easing FDI regulations, and deregulation, India's services
sector is poised to grow at a healthy rate in the coming years.

Education is a human right, a powerful driver of development, and one of the strongest instruments for reducing poverty
and improving health, gender equality, peace, and stability. It delivers large, consistent returns in terms of income, and is
the most important factor to ensure equity and inclusion
For individuals, education promotes employment, earnings, health, and poverty reduction. Globally, there is a 9% increase
in hourly earnings for every extra year of schooling. For societies, it drives long-term economic growth, spurs innovation,
strengthens institutions, and fosters social cohesion.
Developing countries have made tremendous progress in getting children into the classroom and more children worldwide
are now in school. But learning is not guaranteed, as the 2018 World Development Report (WDR) stressed.
Making smart and effective investments in people’s education is critical for developing the human capital that will end
extreme poverty. At the core of this strategy is the need to tackle the learning crisis, put an end to Learning Poverty, and
help youth acquire the advanced cognitive, socioemotional, technical and digital skills they need to succeed in today’s
world.
However, COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on the lives of young children, students, and youth. The disruption of societies
and economies caused by the pandemic has aggravated the already existing global education crisis and impacting education
in unprecedented ways.
Among its many dramatic disruptions, the pandemic has led to the worst crisis in education of the last century. Globally,
between February 2020 and February 2022, education systems were fully closed for in-person learning for 141 days on
average. In South Asia and Latin America & the Caribbean, closures lasted 273 and 225 days, respectively.
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, this global learning crisis was stark. The learning poverty indicator, created by the
World Bank and UNESCO Institute of Statistics and launched in 2019, gives a simple but sobering measure of the
magnitude of this learning crisis: the proportion of 10-year-old children that are unable to read and understand a short age-
appropriate text.
In low- and middle-income countries, the share of children living in Learning Poverty – already 57% before the pandemic
– could potentially reach 70% given the long school closures and the wide digital divide that hindered the effectiveness of
remote learning during school closures, putting the SDG 4 targets in jeopardy. School children have lost an estimated 2
trillion hours – and counting – of in-person instruction since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent
lockdowns.
Children and youth in most countries have suffered major learning losses during the pandemic. Rigorous empirical evidence
from various countries, including low-, middle-, and high-income contexts across regions, reveals very steep losses. Each
88
month of school closures led to a full month of lost learning, reflecting the limited effectiveness (on average) of remote
learning.
The staggering effects of school closures reach beyond learning. This generation of children could lose a combined total of
US$21 trillion in lifetime earnings in present value or the equivalent of 17% of today’s global GDP – a sharp rise from the
2021 estimate of a US$17 trillion loss.
COVID-19 created an inequality catastrophe. Almost all countries provided some form of remote education during school
closures, but there was high inequality in access and uptake between and within countries. Children from disadvantaged
households were less likely to benefit from remote learning than their peers, often due to a lack of electricity, connectivity,
devices, and caregiver support. Girls, students with disabilities, and the youngest children also faced significant barriers to
engaging in remote learning. Overall, at least a third of the world’s schoolchildren – 463 million globally – were unable to
access remote learning during school closures.
Additionally, children’s mental health has been negatively affected, while risks of violence, child marriage and child labor
are also increasing. The situation is more dire for girls, who are more vulnerable to violence, child marriage, and becoming
pregnant. Vulnerable groups such as children with disabilities, ethnic minorities, refugees, and displaced populations are
also less likely to return to school post-crisis.
School disruptions particularly affected the youngest children. Early childhood education was closed the longest in many
countries, with limited or no support for remote learning.
In addition to learning losses, schooling disruptions have also exacerbated disparities in nutrition, health and stimulation,
and access to essential social protection and psychosocial services. Millions more children have been put at risk of being
pushed into child labor, early marriage, and of leaving school altogether.
Adding to these challenges is the negative impact of the unprecedented global economic contraction on family incomes,
which increases the risk of school dropouts, and results in the contraction of government budgets and strains on public
education spending.
Youth have also suffered a loss in human capital in terms of both skills and jobs. In many countries, these declines in youth
employment were more than twice as large as the declines in adult employment. As a result, this generation of students,
and especially the more disadvantaged, may never achieve their full education and earnings potential.
Action is urgently needed now – business as usual will not suffice to heal the scars of the pandemic and will not accelerate
progress enough to meet the ambitions of SDG 4. We are urging governments to implement ambitious and aggressive
Learning Recovery Programs to get children back to school, recover lost learning, and accelerate progress by building
better, more equitable and resilient education systems.

OUR STRENGTHS
We believe that education is the process of different skill building that should be interactive and innovative so that various
skills including reading, writing, learning, listening and speaking skills can be easily learned. We believe that offline
classroom teaching method creates a suitable space for discussion and debates, which are essential means for nurturing
knowledge. Teachers and Students convey as much information during such interactions non-verbally as with their words.
Moreover, it gives teachers an opportunity to work with students on a one-on-one basis efficiently by promptly answering
any arising questions providing necessary explanations without delay. Live conversations, especially with a teacher at hand,
have a more significant impact on knowledge retention. Further, teachers can ensure that every single student is attentive
in the class and a positive environment is created whereby teachers and students can interact with their peers and friends.
Such interactions help them to grow social skills such as being kind, responsible, attentive, a good communicator, etc.
Additionally, we have a system set wherein the classroom lectures are recorded and can viewed by the students from our
desktop/ mobile app, Arihant Edge App at any point of time. This system enables the students to revise the lectures from
any remote location track the lecture schedule, attendance, marks to complex details like chapter performance, time
analysis, monthly performance and assignment or notes details. We believe in having hybrid model of teaching where not
only offline classroom teaching but also keep a blend of technology and do not totally depend on technology like other
player in the market. We leverage technology-based teaching so that children understand, retain and remember everything
that has been taught in the class, through various innovative methodologies, like songs, acronyms (short forms) and other
mnemonics.

Over a period of time, we have developed an effective coaching method and system of imparting conceptual knowledge
with we believe is capable of aiding our students to perform better in examinations. We focus on training our students by
enhancing their conceptual knowledge base, enabling them to improve their accuracy levels and speed. We aim at achieving
holistic development of our student and along with academics, we include activities for personality developments, time and
stress management and improving communication and presentation skills. We conduct regular parents and students
counselling session which we believe help the students in handling the pressure created by examination. We constantly
monitor the progress of the students in order to identify their special requirements and to administer content delivery based
on regular feedback from the students. We encourage our teachers to come down to the children’s level and teach them in
a manner that ensures comprehension without any compromise on the quality of education. We also take opinion poll from
students about our faculty for the improvement of our faculty and the academics of the student.
We use technology for supplement coaching. We have our own application named as Arihant Edge. Arihant Edge App is a
24×7 Educational Companion for students and parents. Arihant Edge App can provide from the simplest data like Lecture
Schedule, Attendance, Marks to complex details like Chapter Performance, Time Analysis, Monthly Performance and
Assignment or Notes details. All these details are available to Students and Parents at just a click of a button at their

for future growth expansion. Our growth is to strength our role as a leading coaching institute in diversified coaching
services. Our aim is to strengthen our position as an organised and diversified education support and strength our brand
recognition. We intend to expand our presence in the existing market, Maharashtra by increasing the number of our
coaching centres. We plan to leverage our brand recognition and experience in the market to service the increasing demand
of our coaching centres. We believe that we can increase our student enrolment by entering new geographic market that
offer significant growth potential. We propose to open new coaching centres at 15 locations across Mumbai over the next
95
3 years. We believe that we are in a service-oriented industry where every student should get the service that he or she
requires.
We intend to launch technology enables coaching services to online courses. Our company’s business model leverages on
growing technologies and uses up-to-date technologies to deliver the digital courses which enables the students to engage
in self-paced learning. Our company repository of digital content, study material and test series which we propose to scale
up rapidly throughout India. All digital content, including the study materials, is uploaded on cloud-based software, which
is accessed across the world without any geographic constraints. Our Hybrid Model which is offline and online blended
model allows us to expand our target market without being limited to geographic restrictions in which our centres are
located. The digital content or courses may also be used as an independent learning through the internet, which offers
greater flexibility and convenience to our students, who can access out content anywhere and at any time of the day. Our
recorded video lectures with integrated self-assessment program complements our classroom courses by providing us
students with an alternative channel for self-assessment. We intend to have our digital video library of Class 8, 9 and 10
state board and ICSE board with interactive educational content. We may launch these online courses with a very minimal
price, so that those who cannot afford our offline classroom teaching course fees and opt of online course instead. We
believe that the model of our company has evolved to provide the students a well-defined day-wise learning plan covering
the entire duration of the course period for them to comprehend and plan a learning program, and students by sticking to
the plan, so that students stand a better chance for succeeding in their board exams, entrance exams and professional exams
through our technologies.
We intend to offer new courses such as Class 8, 9 and 10 for Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). As we
introduce new courses, we intend to achieve higher number of student enrolment. We may leverage our in-house
development capability and third-party consultants to develop new products in areas that we believe will further enhance
our growth and profitability. We intend to expand our horizon in terms of professional training and skill development to
corporates, entrepreneurs, teachers and students for human capital development and other various business support services
to educational institutes, students, corporates and banks. Similarly, we intend to expand our services to working
professionals by providing them certain new certificate courses including courses under university affiliated programs. We
believe that such additional services will expand our brand presence. Accordingly, we seek to continue expanding our
services across Maharashtra, leveraging recognition of our brand. We may also continue to explore strategic opportunities
that may arise in the future.
In evaluation potential acquisitions we seek to pursue selective strategic acquisitions and joint venture opportunities to
augment our capabilities, broaden our service offerings and increase our geographical presence with a potential for course
replication at our existing centres, new course offerings and new markets with attractive growth opportunities. With the
continuous involvement of our promoters and core members of our management team, we continue to tap growth
opportunities across the education sector. Our potential targets are companies involved in education sector or companies
engaged in providing services to the education sector and whose operations can be skilled up by leveraging our experience.
We may execute strategic acquisitions to expand our coaching services. In certain markets, we may enter into joint ventures
with local partner in accordance with requirements of local laws. In order to grow and expand our business, we evaluate
targets for acquisitions and seek opportunities to acquire brands and businesses which complement our service offerings,
strengthen or establish our presence. Our dedication in future expansion provides us with strategic advantage over our
competitors who are focused on individual geographies.
Where suitable opportunities arrive, we may acquire or partner with companies or entities which we consider will enhance
our business, revenues and profitability. We may execute strategic acquisitions within or outside our segment to expand
our services. This will enable us to further expand our business.

agreements with third party franchisees to conduct and operate coaching centres under revenue sharing arrangements.

Telemarketing Laws
The Department of Telecommunications ("DoT") has framed telemarketing guidelines which regulate commercial
messages transmitted through telecommunication services and are applicable to the telemarketing activities by our
Company in relation to our business. These guidelines require any person or entity engaged in telemarketing to obtain
registration from the DoT. Telemarketing guidelines were issued by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India ("TRAI")
as the Telecom Unsolicited Commercial Communications Regulations, 2007 (the "Unsolicited Communications
Regulations"). The Unsolicited Communications Regulations required telemarketers to, inter alia, obtain registration and
discontinue the transmission of unsolicited commercial messages to telephone subscribers registered with a national
database established under the regulations. The Unsolicited Communications Regulations have now been replaced with the
Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations, 2010 (the "Customer Preference Regulations"),
issued by the TRAI on December 1, 2010. The Customer Preference Regulations prohibit the transmission of unsolicited
commercial communication via calls or SMS, except commercial communication relating to certain categories specifically
chosen by the subscribers, certain exempted transactional messages and any message transmitted on the directions of the
Government or their authorized agencies, impose penalties on access providers for any violations, require setting-up
customer complaint registration facilities by access providers and provide for blacklisting of telemarketers in specified
cases. Further, the Customer Preference Regulations prohibit the transmission of commercial messages other than between
9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Under the Customer Preference Regulations, no person, or legal entity who subscribes to a telecom service
provided by an access provider, may make any commercial communication without obtaining a registration as a

The Copyright Act provides for registration of copyrights, assignment and licensing of copyrights, and protection of
copyrights, including remedies for infringement. The Copyright Act protects original literary, dramatic, musical or artistic
works, cinematograph films, and sound recordings. In the event of infringement of a copyright, the owner of the copyright
is entitled to both civil remedies, including damages, accounts and injunction and delivery of infringing copies to the
copyright owner, and criminal remedies, including imprisonment and imposition of fines and seizure of infringing copies.
Copyright registration is not mandatory under the Copyright Act for acquiring or enforcing a copyright, however, such
registration creates a presumption favouring ownership of the copyright by the registered owner.

Promotion, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India and the provisions of the Foreign Exchange

State Laws
We operate in Education industry and activities. Accordingly, legislations passed by the state governments are applicable
to us which include legislations relating to, among others, classification of fire prevention and safety measures and
legislations dealing with license for transport and clearance of alcohol. Further, we require several approvals from local
authorities such as municipal bodies. The approvals required may vary depending on the state and the local area.
Municipality Laws
Pursuant to the Constitution (Seventy-Fourth Amendment) Act, 1992, the respective state legislatures in India have power
to endow the municipalities with power to implement schemes and perform functions in relation to matters listed in the
Twelfth Schedule to the Constitution of India. The respective states of India have enacted laws empowering the
municipalities to issue trade license for several business and implementation of regulations relating to such license along
with prescribing penalties for non-compliance.
Under the provisions of local shops and establishment legislations applicable in the states in which our establishments are
set up, establishments are required to be registered under the respective legislations. These legislations regulate the
112
condition of work and employment in shops and commercial establishments and generally prescribe obligations in respect
of, among others, registration, opening and closing hours, daily and weekly working hours, holidays, leave, health and
safety measures and wages for overtime work.
The Trade Marks Act, 1999 (“Trade Marks Act”) and rules made thereunder provides for application and registration of
trademarks in India. It also provides for exclusive rights to marks such as brand, label, and heading and to obtain relief in
case of infringement for commercial purposes as a trade description. The Trade Marks Act prohibits registration of
deceptively similar trademarks and provides penalties for infringement, falsifying or falsely applying trademarks.
The Registration Act, 1908 (“Registration Act”) was passed to consolidate the enactments relating to the registration of
documents. The main purpose for which the Registration Act was designed was to ensure information about all deals
concerning land so that correct land records could be maintained. The Registration Act is used for proper recording of
transactions relating to other immovable property also. The Registration Act provides for registration of other documents
also, which can give these documents more authenticity. Registering authorities have been provided in all the districts for
this purpose.
The Competition Act, 2002 prohibits anti-competitive agreements, abuse of dominant positions by enterprises and regulates
“combinations” in India. The Competition Act also established the Competition Commission of India (the “CCI”) as the
authority mandated to implement the Competition Act, 2002. The provisions of the Competition Act relating to
combinations were notified on March 4, 2011 and came into effect on June 1, 2011. Combinations which are likely to cause
an appreciable adverse effect on competition in a relevant market in India are void under the Competition Act.
The Act provides effective legal provision to restrain people from issuing cheques without having sufficient funds in their
account or any stringent provision to punish them in the event of such cheque not being honored by their bankers and
returned unpaid.
Few of the provisions of The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (“COPRA”) have been notified vide notification No. S.O.
2421(E), dated 23rd July 2020 thus repealing the respective provisions of Consumer Protection Act, 1986. However the
provisions of Consumer Protection Act, 1986, are still valid to the extent COPRA being not notified. The Consumer
Protection Act provides a mechanism for the consumer to file a complaint against a service provider in cases of unfair trade
practices, restrictive trade practices, deficiency in services, price charged being unlawful and food served being hazardous
to life. It also places product liability on a manufacturer or product service provider or product seller, to compensate for
injury or damage caused by defective product or deficiency in services. It provides for a three tier consumer grievance
redressal mechanism at the national, state and district levels. Non-compliance of the orders of the redressal commissions
attracts criminal penalties. The COPRA has brought e-commerce entities and their customers under its purview including
providers of technologies or processes for advertising or selling, online market place or online auction sites. The COPRA
also provides for mediation cells for early settlement of the disputes between the parties.
The “Prevention of Black Marketing and Maintenance of Supplies Act” came in 1980. It is an "Act for detention in certain
cases or the purpose of prevention of black marketing and maintenance of supplies of commodities essential to the
community and for matters concerned therewith".
The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 is an act to consolidate and amend the law relating to domestic arbitration,
international commercial arbitration and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards as also to define the law relating to
conciliation and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. It aims at streamlining the process of arbitration and
facilitating conciliation in business matters. The Act recognizes the autonomy of parties in the conduct of arbitral
proceedings by the arbitral tribunal and abolishes the scope of judicial review of the award and minimizes the supervisory
113
role of Courts. A significant feature of the Act is the appointment of arbitrators by the Chief Justice of India or Chief Justice
of High Court. The Chief Justice may either appoint the arbitrator himself or nominate a person or Institution to nominate
the arbitrator. The autonomy of the arbitral tribunal has further been strengthened by empowering them to decide on
jurisdiction and to consider objections regarding the existence or validity of the arbitration agreement.
Money laundering is the processing of criminal proceeds to disguise its illegal origin. Terrorism, illegal arms sales, financial
crimes, smuggling, and the activities of organised crime, including drug trafficking and prostitution rings, generate huge
sums. Embezzlement, insider trading, bribery and computer fraud also produce large profits and create an incentive to
legitimise the ill-gotten gains through money laundering. When a criminal activity generates substantial profits, the
individual or group involved in such activities route the funds to safe heavens by disguising the sources, changing the form,
or moving the funds to a place where they are less likely to attract attention.
Most fundamentally, money laundering is inextricably linked to the underlying criminal activity that generates it. In essence,
the laundering enables criminal activity to continue.
The Company is required to comply with central and state laws in respect of property. Central Laws that may be applicable
to our Company's operations include the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, Registration Act,
1908, Indian Stamp Act, 1899, and Indian Easements Act, 1882.

The Ministry of Law and Justice, with an intent to consolidate and amend laws relating to trade unions, conditions of
employment in industrial establishment or undertaking, investigation and settlement of industrial dispute, has introduced
the Industrial Code. The Code provides that the Central Government may repeal the provisions of the Trade Unions Act,
1926, the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946, and the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and may supersede
them with the applicability of any provision of the Industrial Code. The Industrial Code is a central legislation and extends
to the whole of India. The Industrial Code empowers the Central Government to require an establishment in which one
hundred or more workers are employed or have been employed on any day in the preceding twelve months to constitute a

requires every establishment with twenty or more workers to have grievance redressal committees for resolution of disputes
arising out of individual grievances. The code bars the jurisdiction of civil courts to any matter to which the provisions of
the Industrial Code apply, and provides for establishment of industrial tribunals for adjudication of such matters. The
Industrial Code provides for provisions pertaining to lay-off and retrenchment of employees and closure of establishments
and compensation provisions in relation thereto. The Industrial Code provides for monetary fines, penalties and
imprisonment in case of contravention of the provisions of the code.

equivalent to the amount of the employee’s contribution to the provident fund. There is also a requirement to maintain
prescribed records and registers and filing of forms with the concerned authorities. The EPF Act also prescribes penalties

The ESI Act, provides for certain benefits to employees in case of sickness, maternity and employment injury. All

Significant Economic Changes that Materially Affected or are Likely to Affect Income from Continuing Operations
Indian rules and regulations as well as the overall growth of the Indian economy have a significant bearing on our
operations. Major changes in these factors can significantly impact income from continuing operations. There are no
significant economic changes that materially affected our Company’s operations or are likely to affect income from
continuing operations except as described in chapter titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 22 of this Prospectus.
Known trends or uncertainties that have had or are expected to have a material adverse impact on revenue or
income from continuing operations
Other than as described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and chapter titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Conditions and Results of Operations”, beginning on page 22 and 144 of this Prospectus respectively to our
knowledge there are no known trends or uncertainties that have or had or are expected to have a material adverse impact
on revenues or income of our company from continuing operations.
Other than as described in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 22 of this Prospectus, to our knowledge there
are no factors, which will affect the future relationship between costs and income or which are expected to have a material
adverse impact on our operations and finances.
The extent to which material increases in revenue or income from operations are due to increased volume,
introduction of new products or services or increased prices
Changes in revenue in the last three financial years are as explained in the part “Financial Year 2021-22 compared with
financial year 2020-21 and Financial Year 2020-21 Compared with Financial Year 2019-20” above.
Please refer to the chapter titled “Our Business” beginning on page 80 of this Prospectus for new products or business
segments.
Our business and revenues fluctuate based on the academic cycle of our courses and timelines of the entrance examinations,
which are cyclical in nature and dependent on the dates of the board/entrance examinations as well as the release of the
examination results. Depending on the timing of examinations and examination results, our Long-Term Courses generally
commence in phases starting in April, with repeater courses (which represent a significant portion of our revenue)
154
commencing in phases starting in May. Similarly, our courses generally end in phases in the fourth quarter, depending on
the timing of examinations. In terms of our expenses, many of them are fixed in nature and we incur them throughout the
year, though some are concentrated or increase in the first quarter, including salary increments for faculty, advertising and
publicity expenses to recruit students for courses in the new academic year, and expenses for new centers that have opened
but that are not yet conducting courses. As our revenue and expenses can fluctuate quarter-to-quarter, this may result in our
Company being more profitable in some quarters, generally the first and second quarters, and less profitable or even loss-
making in the third and fourth quarters. Given the factors discussed above, investors are cautioned that any comparison of
our results of operations between different periods in a year is not meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indicator
of our future business prospects of financial performance and our results of operations for any particular quarter may not
be indicative of our results of operations over longer time periods, such as a full fiscal year. Changes in revenue may vary
between the same quarter in different years for various reasons, including due to differences arising from changes in dates,
patterns or delays of any examinations or counselling schedules. Accordingly, any comparison of quarterly growth of our
Company over successive financial years may not accurately reflect our financial position and results of operation.
Competitive Conditions
We operate in a competitive atmosphere. Some of our competitors may have greater resources than those available to us.
While product quality, brand value, distribution network, etc are key factors in client decisions among competitors,
however, price is the deciding factor in most cases. We face fair competition from both organized and unorganized players
in the market. We believe that our experience in this business and quality assurance will be key to overcome competition
posed by such organized and unorganized players. Although, a competitive market, there are not enough number of
competitors offering services similar to us. We believe that we are able to compete effectively in the market with our quality
of services and our reputation. We believe that the principal factors affecting competition in our business include client
relationships, reputation, and the relative quality and price of the services. For details, please refer to the section titled “Risk
Factors” beginning on page 22 of this Prospectus.

Further, the Company and the Lead Manager are not liable for any adverse occurrences’ consequent to the implementation
of the UPI Mechanism for application in this Issue.
SEBI has issued UPI Circulars in relation to streamlining the process of public Issue of equity shares and convertibles.
Pursuant to the UPI Circulars, the UPI Mechanism has been introduced in a phased manner as a payment mechanism (in
addition to mechanism of blocking funds in the account maintained with SCSBs under the ASBA) for applications by RIIs
through intermediaries with the objective to reduce the time duration from public Issue closure to listing from six working
days to up to three working days. Considering the time required for making necessary changes to the systems and to ensure
complete and smooth transition to the UPI payment mechanism, the UPI Circular proposes to introduce and implement the
UPI payment mechanism in three phases in the following manner:
Phase I: This phase has become applicable from January 1, 2019 and will continue till June 30, 2019. Under this phase, a
Retail Individual Investor would also have the option to submit the Application Form with any of the intermediary and use
his / her UPI ID for the purpose of blocking of funds. The time duration from public Issue closure to listing would continue
to be six working days.
Phase II: This phase commenced on completion of Phase I, i.e., with effect from July 1, 2019 and was to be continued for
a period of three months or launch of five main board public offers, whichever is later. Further, as per the SEBI circular
SEBI/HO/CFD/DCR2/CIR/P/2019/133 dated November 8, 2019, the UPI Phase II has been extended until March 31, 2020.
Further still, as per SEBI circular SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2020/50 dated March 30, 2020, the current Phase II of
Unified Payments Interface with Application Supported by Blocked Amount be continued till further notice. Under this
phase, submission of the Application Form by a Retail Individual Investor through intermediaries to SCSBs for blocking
of funds will be discontinued and will be replaced by the UPI Mechanism. However, the time duration from public Issue
closure to listing would continue to be six working days during this phase.
Phase III: The commencement period of Phase III is yet to be notified. In this phase, the time duration from public Issue
closure to listing is proposed to be reduced to three working days.
Pursuant to the UPI Circulars, SEBI has set out specific requirements for redressal of investor grievances for applications
that have been made through the UPI Mechanism. The requirements of the UPI Circulars include, appointment of a nodal
officer by the SCSB and submission of their details to SEBI, the requirement for SCSBs to send SMS alerts for the blocking
and unblocking of UPI mandates, the requirement for the Registrar to submit details of cancelled, withdrawn or deleted
applications, and the requirement for the bank accounts of unsuccessful applicants to be unblocked no later than one day
from the date on which the Basis of Allotment is finalised. Failure to unblock the accounts within the timeline would result
in the SCSBs being penalised under the relevant securities law. Additionally, if there is any delay in the redressal of
investors’ complaints, the relevant SCSB as well as the post – issue LM will be required to compensate the concerned
investor.
The Issue will be made under UPI Phase II of the UPI Circular, unless UPI Phase III of the UPI Circular becomes effective
and applicable on or prior to the Issue Opening Date. All SCSBs offering facility of making application in public issues
shall also provide facility to make application using UPI.
Our Company will be required to appoint one or more of the SCSBs as a Sponsor Bank(s) to act as a conduit between the
Stock Exchanges and NPCI in order to facilitate collection of requests and / or payment instructions of the UPI Investors.
The processing fees may be released to the remitter banks (SCSBs) only after an application is made by the SCSBs to the
LM with a copy to the Registrar, and such application shall be made only after (i) unblocking of application amounts for
each application received by the SCSB has been fully completed, and (ii) applicable compensation relating to investor
complaints has been paid by the SCSB in accordance with April 20, 2022 Circular.

BASIS OF ALLOTMENT
Allotment will be made in consultation with the Stock Exchange. In the event of oversubscription, the allotment will be
made on a proportionate basis in marketable lots as set forth here:
1. The total number of Shares to be allocated to each category as a whole shall be arrived at on a proportionate basis i.e.,
the total number of Shares applied for in that category multiplied by the inverse of the over subscription ratio (number
of applicants in the category X number of Shares applied for).
2. The number of Shares to be allocated to the successful applicants will be arrived at on a proportionate basis in
marketable lots (i.e., Total number of Shares applied for into the inverse of the over subscription ratio). For

worked out as per (2) above.
3. If the proportionate allotment to an applicant works out to a number that is not a multiple of 1,600 Equity shares, the
applicant would be allotted Shares by rounding off to the nearest multiple of 1,600 Equity shares subject to a minimum
allotment of 1,600 Equity shares.
4. If the Shares allotted on a proportionate basis to any category is more than the Shares allotted to the applicants in that
category, the balance available Shares for allocation shall be first adjusted against any category, where the allotted
Shares are not sufficient for proportionate allotment to the successful applicants in that category, the balance Shares,
if any, remaining after such adjustment will be added to the category comprising of applicants applying for the
minimum number of Shares. If as a result of the process of rounding off to the nearest multiple of 1,600 Equity shares,
results in the actual allotment being higher than the shares issued, the final allotment may be higher at the sole
discretion of the Board of Directors, up to 110% of the size of the issue specified under the Capital Structure mentioned
in this Prospectus.

Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain
prescribed procedures for making such investment. The RBI and the concerned ministries/departments are responsible for

existing or future foreign direct investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership
falling within the aforesaid restriction/ purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require
approval of the Government. Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) (Fourth Amendment)
Rules, 2020 issued on December 8, 2020, a multilateral bank or fund, of which India is a member, shall not be treated as
