Further I would like to discuss about which I am sure many of you would be keen to understand about Encyclopaedia Britannica

TheyalsohadoneIndiancurriculumbasedbusinessoftextbooksanddigitalproductsinIndiawhichtheyhadstartedaround8years
ago. What they have is that different items all together what Navneet has been publishing so far.Just to give you clarity that
Navneets major revenue in publishing is from supplementary books whereas Britannicas business is of textbooks and digital
products.SoyouallmaybeawarethatforlastcoupleofyearsNavneetalsohaddecidedtogoPanIndiaandaccordinglywestarted
publishing several textbooks or extracurricular books which we had already started marketing in India. But having seen this

was a good buy and therefore we decided to buy the business. Due diligence on various parameters are going on right now so
DefinitiveAgreementswouldbecompletedinnextonemonthorso.
I would also like to mention something about our eSense digital business. There you may not have the numbers with you but
revenue there have grown marginally. This year we have invested more on advertisements and new content creation which is
different, much different content than that we have been delivering or giving to the market right now. So we have spent good

Myfirstquestionrelatestothisacquisitionitself,typicallywhatkindofsynergieswhichwewillhavewiththisacquisition?Andwhat

Mr.SunilGalaManagingDirector
Okay.Isthattheonlyquestionyouhaveor....?
Mr.RahulJainPrabhudasLilladher
And also the margins in Encyclopaedia are they similar to our business also? And in terms of digital initiative if you could share
something more how we are headed because I understand in your initial remarks that investments are being made in terms of
advertisement and content creation. Are we talking about content creation in the way of new content being developed or the
contentnowbeingpresentinadifferentmanner?Thatsitfrommysideatthispointoftime.
Mr.SunilGalaManagingDirector
Sure.So,IwouldliketoanswerRahulyourquestions,firstonsynergieswithEBandNavneet.Thereareseveralsynergiesrightfrom
sourcing of raw materials to selling the products. So slowly slowly we will try and synergise which benefits both the companies.

becauseatpresenttheircorebusinessofmarketingisonandbyMarchApriltheywouldreallyendupsellingtheproducts.Sowe
would not disturb anything there but there are lots of synergies as I just mentioned.As far as dealfor 7years isconcerned, it is
usage of brand Encyclopaedia Britannica for 7 years which is extendable on a mutual consent by paying fees. Now here we will
decideinacourseoftimeduringtheyearthatwewanttohaveouradditionalbrandorwejustwanttocontinuewithEncyclopaedia

Mr.VinayKulkarniHDFCMutualFund
Yeah,fine.
Mr.SunilGalaManagingDirector
That answers your question. There is no new development in school business that we have invested through K12 Technologies.
WhatImeanbythatisthatnowwehave12CBSEschoolsinthebrandnameOrchidsInternationalwhichschoolsareinMumbai,
Pune and Bangalore. So we have not added any more schools in the current year but from next year we are likely to add more
schools.Butasfaras12schoolsareconcernedlastyearwehadaround6,500studentsversusthisyearwehave9,500plusstudents.
SoadmissionsarereallyreallygoodandnowitisaqualitybusinessIwouldsay,theCBSEschoolscangetmorehigherfeesbecause
deliverables are much higher. So going forward that business looks very very attractive. And to answer your third question of
international business, with respect to exports of stationery, exports of stationery in last two quarters also has grown by around
25%.AndweareseeingmoreandmoreinterestfromourbuyersparticularlyfromtheUS.Wehavecreatedexcellentinnovative

buyback which is comprising of around 2% of our paidup capital. On digital solution there is no similarity between the digital
products that we have from eSense and Britannica. So digital solution that Britannica has as whatever textbooks that they have
published,theyhavedigitalproductsfocusingthosetextbooks.Sowhentheygototheschoolstheymarketbothtextbooksandthe

Sodigitalopportunitieswhetheritistodayor5yearsdownthelineisstillaquestion.ButwhatmanagementofNavneetbelievesis
there is a huge huge opportunity in digital space in the country. Byjus have really created great awareness of digital media and
students have started buying it. But Navneet or its subsidiaries would always restrain from spending huge amounts on
