New Delhi, July 30 IT education and talent development company NIIT Ltd and its subsidiaries on Monday posted a net profit of Rs 15.4 crore for the April-June quarter, up 17 per cent over the year-ago period, with new businesses contributing significantly to the growth.

The company recorded net revenues of Rs 225.4 crore, representing a 104 per cent increase over the same period the previous year. “The growth momentum continues through new businesses including the recently acquired Element K,” the NIIT Chairman, Mr Rajendra S. Pawar, said at a conference.
