Veranda Learning Solutions has moved to redeem Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) worth ₹346.14 crore issued by its subsidiary Veranda XL Learning Solutions (VXL) to Ascertis Credit in March–April 2024. The redemption will be funded primarily from the company's first-ever Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP), which raised ₹357.42 crore. The funds have already been moved to a designated escrow account for this purpose. The company described this as the first step toward making its commerce vertical debt-free, and its Board is scheduled to meet on July 28, 2025 to consider the demerger and listing of that debt-free commerce vertical.
This significantly reduces the company's debt burden and interest costs, strengthening its balance sheet and freeing up cash for growth investments. Likely to be viewed positively by shareholders as a sign of financial discipline and improved financial health.
