Drishti IAS Revenue Drops to ₹364 Crore, Plans Major Expansion Beyond UPSC

• Drishti IAS reported an operational revenue of ₹364 crore for FY25, down from ₹405 crore last year, with a direct profit of ₹61 crore.
• The decline is attributed to the normalization of student admissions post-COVID and the relocation of its main branch from Mukherjee Nagar to Noida, causing a ₹30 crore revenue loss.
• CEO Vivek Tiwari announced significant expansion plans, including new offline centers in Ranchi and Patna, and entry into Banking, Defense, and School Education sectors.
• The company aims to increase its online revenue contribution from 1/3 to 50% within the next two years.
• Drishti IAS is strengthening its internal team for a potential IPO, appointing Vipin Joshi as CFO and Suresh Surana & Associates as statutory auditor.

Why It Matters: Drishti IAS faces revenue challenges but is aggressively expanding into new sectors and online education.
