TLDR: Edtech firm Great Learning has reported its second consecutive year of profitability, posting a profit of Rs 40 crore on a revenue of Rs 1,039 crore for FY25. This significant growth, with profits surging by 191%, is largely attributed to the robust global demand for professional upskilling in artificial intelligence and strategic integration of generative AI into its operations.
Bengaluru, October 29, 2025 – Great Learning, a prominent edtech platform, has announced a remarkable financial performance for the fiscal year 2025, marking its second consecutive year of profitability. The company reported a profit of Rs 40 crore, a substantial 191% increase from the previous fiscal year, alongside a revenue of Rs 1,039 crore, which grew by 5%.
The company attributes this impressive growth to the sustained global demand for professional upskilling, particularly in the field of artificial intelligence. Mohan Lakhamraju, founder and CEO of Great Learning, emphasized that this profitability was not merely a result of cost-cutting measures but rather a testament to the company’s commitment to innovation. “We have achieved profitability for two consecutive years through innovations rather than cost management measures,” Lakhamraju stated, highlighting a strategic focus on integrating generative AI to enhance operational efficiency.
Great Learning has significantly expanded its academic offerings and technological capabilities during FY25. This includes forging new partnerships with esteemed institutions such as IIT Bombay and Johns Hopkins University. A key innovation introduced is ‘GLAIde,’ a comprehensive suite of AI-powered learning support tools designed to enrich the learning experience for its vast student base.
The platform currently boasts an extensive portfolio of 1,750 programmes, catering to over 13.8 million learners across more than 170 countries. This widespread reach and diverse program offering underscore its position in the global upskilling market.

Notably, Great Learning’s sustained profitability stands in contrast to the financial challenges faced by several other companies acquired by the troubled edtech giant Byju’s. Between 2020 and 2022, Byju’s made significant acquisitions totaling approximately $2.8 billion, including Great Learning for $600 million. However, unlike many of these acquisitions where Byju’s attempted operational integration, Great Learning’s three founders maintained independent control and operations of the business post-acquisition, a factor that appears to have contributed to its continued success and financial stability.
