Sharing further details of the numbers, Sapnesh Lalla, CEO, NIIT said all the business segments performed well, even skills business for whom Q3 is seasonally a weak quarter performed well by staying flat than reporting a degrowth. So, overall Q3 was a healthy quarter in spite of seasonably it being a weak quarter, said Lalla.

When asked if they plan to monetise their stake in NIIT Tech, he said it was for the board to decide but with respect to other M&A activity, he said.
