NCLT Approves Next Step in Veranda Learning's Commerce Vertical Demerger

Veranda Learning Solutions (VLS) has moved a step closer to its proposed commerce vertical demerger and separately list J.K. Shah Commerce Education Limited (JSCEL), following directions from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Chennai Bench, under a Composite Scheme of Arrangement involving VLS, Veranda XL Learning Private Limited (VXLS), and JSCEL.

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Chennai Bench, has directed VLS to convene a meeting of its equity shareholders on April 24, 2026, via video conferencing, to consider and approve the proposed Composite Scheme of Arrangement.

In a move that streamlines the process, the NCLT has dispensed with multiple stakeholder meetings across VLS, VXLS, and JSCEL, accelerating the path forward.

First announced in September 2025, the Scheme is aimed at simplifying the group's structure while enabling a sharper strategic focus on the fast-growing commerce segment through a separate listed entity.

Suresh Kalpathi, Executive Director and Chairman, Veranda Learning, said: "This is an important step forward. The proposed Scheme is designed to create a more focused and agile organisation, enabling us to scale efficiently and deliver greater value to learners and stakeholders."

Prof. J.K. Shah, who will be the chairman and CEO of J.K. Shah Commerce Education Limited, added: "We are encouraged by this progress. The partnership brings together strong capabilities and shared intent to expand access to high-quality commerce education at scale."

Shares of Veranda Learning Solutions Limited was last trading in BSE at Rs. 137.55 as compared to the previous close of Rs. 130.85. The total number of shares traded during the day was 12188 in over 242 trades.

The stock hit an intraday high of Rs. 140.40 and intraday low of 133.00. The net turnover during the day was Rs. 1656988.00.
