For the Financial Year ended March 31, 2026
1. The ABC of the New Era - Our Strategic Compass
Every industrial era has had its alphabet. The last two decades of Indian IT were spelt in hardware, networking and enterprise software. The Company believes the coming decade will be spelt in three letters A for ArtificialIntelligence, B for Blockchain, and C for Cyberspace. Together, these constitute what your management calls the "ABC of the New Era": the three technology forces that will define how value is created, exchanged and protected in the digital economy.
Artificial Intelligence is becoming the production engine of the digital economy writing code, personalising learning, and automating decisions. Blockchain is emerging as its trust layer the infrastructure for verifiable credentials, tokenised assets and Web3 applications. Cyberspace spanning cybersecurity, cloud, networking and immersive environments such as the metaverse is the arena in which both operate, and the one that must be built, connected and defended by skilled professionals. During the year under review, the Company took a deliberate strategic decision to orient its entire ecosystem courses, curriculum, delivery models, faculty development, industry partnerships, placements and brand around these three pillars.
This MD&A is therefore structured around the ABC framework: it examines the environment in which we operate, the opportunity each pillar represents, and how the Companys offerings, operations and finances are being aligned to capture it.
2. Industry Structure, Development and Outlook Global Economic Environment
FY 2025 26 was marked by a resilient yet increasingly uncertain global economic environment. While global economic activity continued to demonstrate resilience amid persistent trade tensions and policy uncertainty, the outlook was increasingly influenced by geopolitical developments, elevated energy prices, inflationary pressures and tighter financial conditions. In its April 2026 World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected global growth at 3.0% in 2026 and 3.4% in 2027, while highlighting significant downside risks arising from prolonged market volatility and uncertainty surrounding the pace of productivity gains from Artificial Intelligence a telling sign that AI has moved from the margins of economic commentary to its centre.
Indian Economy Overview
Against this backdrop, India continued to remain among the fastest-growing major economies. According to the World Banks April 2026 India Development Update, Indias economic growth accelerated to 7.6% in FY 2025 26, compared with 7.1% in FY 2024 25, while growth for FY 2026 27 is projected at 6.6%, reflecting the impact of higher energy prices and external uncertainties. The IMF similarly projects Indias real GDP growth at 6.4% for FY 2026 27, maintaining Indias position as the fastest-growing major economy globally. growth continues to be underpinned by robust infrastructure investment, increasing formalisation of the economy, rising adoption of digital technologies and government initiatives promoting innovation, manufacturing and skill development.
Most importantly for your Company, the rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence, the expansion of the digital economy and the growing demand for technology-enabled services are strengthening Indias position as a global hub for digital talent and creating a structural, multi-year opportunity for the IT education and skill development sector.
Industry Overview - Indian Education and Digital Skills
India is home to one of the worlds largest and fastest-growing education ecosystems, encompassing school education, higher education, vocational training, professional certification and lifelong learning. Supported by a large young population, increasing digital penetration and policy initiatives such as the National Education policy (NEP) 2020, Digital India and Skill India, the sector is transforming towards technology-enabled and outcome-based learning. Industry estimates indicate that India needs approximately 30 million digitally skilled professionals, while the India Skills Report 2026 places overall graduate employability at 56.35% underlining both the scale of the demand and the persistent gap between conventional education and the practical skills employers require. It is precisely this gap that the Companys employment-oriented, ABC-aligned training model is designed to bridge.
3. Pillar A - Artificial Intelligence: The Production Engine
Artificial Intelligence is fundamentally reshaping the education landscape and the labour market simultaneously it is at once the subject we teach and the technology we teach with. AI-powered platforms can identify individual learning gaps, recommend customised learning paths and provide real-time feedback, thereby improving learning outcomes. At the same time, enterprises across every sector are seeking professionals with practical exposure to generative AI tools, large language Models (llMs), AI-assisted software development, data analytics and automation. Independent studies consistently identify the AI skills gap as Indias single largest workforce challenge of this decade.
"AI FOR ALL" - Our New Curriculum Mantra
During the year, the Company re-geared its entire course architecture under a new mantra: "AI FOR ALL." The principle is simple ArtificialIntelligence is no longer a specialisation to be offered to a few; it is a foundational literacy to be embedded for every student, in every programme, at every level. Whether a learner enrols for cloud computing, ethical hacking, blockchain or the metaverse, they will graduate with practical, hands-on AI capability woven into their course of study.
The Company believes future growth under this pillar will be driven by:
Introduction of dedicated AI-focused certification programmes.
- Integration of generative AI modules across all existing IT courses under the AI FOR All mantra.
AI-enabled virtual labs and personalised, adaptive learning systems.
- Corporate AI upskilling programmes for working professionals.
- Industry partnerships with leading technology companies.
AI-First Internal Systems
The AI transformation is equally directed inward. All of the Companys internal systems are now moving towards an AI-
First approach spanning student admissions and counselling, learning management and content delivery, assessment and feedback, placement matching, and back-office administration. By adopting for its own operations the same technologies it teaches, the Company expects to improve operational efficiency, sharpen decision-making with data, enhance the experience, and lend credibility to its classroom promise: an institution that runs on AI is best placed to teach it.
Future Course Outlook - AI and Data Centre Management looking ahead, the future outlook for the Companys course portfolio will encompass the full spectrum of emerging AI technologies generative AI, agentic AI systems, machine learning operations and applied data science together with Data Centre Management, a discipline gaining national importance as India builds out the data centre and AI-compute infrastructure that the digital economy and sovereign AI ambitions demand. The Company sees the convergence of AI skills and data centre infrastructure skills as a natural extension of its heritage in hardware and networking education, and intends to develop programmes that prepare students to build, operate and optimise the physical backbone of the AI era.
4. Pillar B - Blockchain: The Trust Layer
Blockchain and distributed-ledger technologies are moving beyond cryptocurrency into the mainstream of finance, supply chains, government services and digital credentialing. Indias Web3 and blockchain talent pool, while among the largest globally, remains far short of enterprise demand, and blockchain-related roles continue to rank among the fastest-growing "new-collar" jobs in the country. Verifiable digital credentials themselves a blockchain application are also expected to reshape how educational achievement is certified and trusted by employers.
The Jetking Diploma in Blockchain anchors this pillar. During the year, the Company continued to strengthen the programme with practical exposure to smart contracts, decentralised applications and tokenised-economy concepts, and sees meaningful headroom to grow enrolments as enterprise adoption widens. The Company also continues to evaluate the use of blockchain-based certification for its own credentials, aligning what we teach with how we operate.
Bitcoin Treasury - The Blockchain Pillar on Our Balance Sheet
The Companys conviction in the blockchain pillar is not confined to the classroom it extends to the balance sheet. In December 2024, your Company became the first publicly listed company in India to adopt bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset, a pioneering decision consistent with its identity as an institution that teaches the technologies of the new era by living them.
The Company continued its programme of disciplined bitcoin accumulation through FY 2025 26. Following the preferential issue undertaken during the year, the Company acquired approximately 6 additional BTC in May 2025, taking aggregate treasury holdings to 26.22 BTC and continued to add to its position through the year in line with its stated accumulation strategy.
The Company maintains a publicly accessible, real-time view of its bitcoin treasury at www.jetking.org/dashboard, reflectingits commitment to transparency with shareholders on this asset.
While the regulatory framework governing Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs) in India is still unfolding, the Company remains a long-term holder of the asset. Management views bitcoin as a scarce, decentralised digital reserve asset whose long-term value proposition is strengthened not diminished by the very forces of digitalisation this MD&A describes. The Company does not trade its position; it accumulates and holds, and its treasury policy is reviewed periodically by the Board in light of regulatory developments, tax treatment and market conditions.
The BSE Listing Matter
Shareholders should be aware of a regulatory development connected to the treasury strategy. BSE Limited declined (in September 2025) to grant listing approval for approximately 3,96,156 equity shares allotted under the Companys FY 2025 26 preferential issue (aggregating to approximately Rs. 610.08 Lakhs), on the ground that the issue proceeds were deployed into
VDAs prior to the amendment of the main objects clause of the Companys Memorandum of Association, which was effected on July 7, 2025. Subsequent to the year end, the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT), by its order of May 8, 2026, upheld BSEs decision. The affected shares consequently remain unlisted. The Company is evaluating the implications of the order.
The Company respects the regulatory process and has since aligned its constitutional documents, disclosures and internal approvals with the requirements applicable to VDA investments. Management believes the matter concerns the sequencing of corporate approvals rather than the merit of the treasury strategy itself, and remains committed to full compliance as Indias regulatory architecture for digital assets matures. The financial statements and notes thereto describe the accounting treatment and carrying value of the bitcoin holdings.
5. Pillar C - Cyberspace: The Arena to Build and Defend
Cyberspace is where the digital economy lives the networks, cloud platforms, security perimeters and immersive environments through which business is now conducted. As India digitalises, the demand for professionals who can build, connect and defend this arena is outpacing supply: industry assessments estimate close to 3 million unfilled cybersecurity positions in India, while cloud andnetworkinfrastructurerolesremaininstructuraldeficit.The emergence of immersive environments such as the metaverse adds a further frontier of skill demand.
This pillar is the Companys traditional stronghold, and its offerings here are the most mature: the Jetking Diploma in Cloud Computing, Jetking Masters in Cloud Computing, Jetking Diploma in Ethical Hacking and Jetking Diploma in Metaverse together span the full arc of cyberspace skills from infrastructure and cloud operations to offensive security and immersive technologies. The Companys decades of experience in networking and hardware education give it a distinctive right to win in this space.
6. Company Overview - Aligning Everything to ABC
The Company offers training programmes in information technology, networking, cloud computing, cybersecurity, hardware and infrastructure management, and other emerging digital technologies. It differentiates itself through an industry-aligned curriculum, a practical learning methodology, and a strong focus on enhancing student employability through structured career development and placement support.
