revenue

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

- Enrollment trends indicate potential growth due to recent regulatory changes removing 12th-class marks weightage, making coaching more attractive to students (§Page 9, §Page 10). - Revenues expected to grow in FY'17 driven by current enrollment trends and operating leverage, though exact quantification is premature due to ongoing enrollments (§Page 17). - Skill Development business shows significant growth potential, with government focus and initial margins around 25%; expansion expected but depends on government decisions (§Page 12, §Page 13). - Engineering colleges have ceased underperforming operations; formal education universities are adding new courses and increasing capacity, which may increase revenue (§Page 12, §Page 13). - E-learning and recorded video products have low marketing spend but show revenue generation potential, with scope for future growth (§Page 9). - No substantial CAPEX anticipated; existing campuses can handle growth with minor refurbishments (§Page 10).
