Kota-based coaching institute chain Motion reported nearly flat financial performance for the financial year ending March 2025 (FY25). The company recorded operating revenue of ₹108 crore during the year, slightly lower than ₹109 crore in FY24. The marginal dip highlights slower growth for the institute amid increasing competition in India’s coaching industry.
Motion is known for offering preparation programs for competitive exams such as IIT-JEE and NEET. The institute primarily generates revenue through course fees collected from students enrolled in its classroom and online learning programs. Founded in 2007 in Kota, Rajasthan, Motion has established itself as one of the recognised coaching institutes in India’s competitive exam preparation ecosystem.
Apart from operating income, the company also earned around ₹2 crore from other income sources in FY25, taking its total income to nearly ₹110 crore.
Expenses Increase During the Year
While revenue remained stable, Motion’s overall expenses increased slightly. Total expenses stood at around ₹103 crore in FY25, compared to ₹102 crore in the previous financial year.
Employee benefit expenses remained the largest cost component for the institute. Spending on salaries and related employee costs rose by about 4% to ₹49 crore, reflecting the importance of experienced faculty in the coaching industry.
However, the company reduced its advertising and promotional spending by around 8%, bringing the cost down to nearly ₹12 crore during the year. On the other hand, legal expenses increased significantly by 33% to ₹10 crore, while rent expenses grew by about 17% to ₹5.2 crore.
Profit Declines Slightly
Due to rising costs, Motion reported a slight decline in profitability. The company’s net profit dropped to approximately ₹5.6 crore in FY25 from ₹6 crore in FY24.
Despite the dip in profit, the company maintained stable operations. Motion also expanded its asset base during the year, with total assets rising to around ₹115 crore. The company ended FY25 with approximately ₹10 crore in cash and bank balances.
Overall, Motion’s financial performance reflects a stable but slow-moving phase for India’s competitive exam coaching sector as institutions navigate rising costs and evolving learning trends.
