Info Edge Board Approves ₹39.91 Cr Full Buyout of Coding Ninjas to Build AI Courses on Naukri (July 6, 2026)

Info Edge's board, at its July 6, 2026 meeting, approved acquiring the remaining 45.36% stake in Coding Ninjas from founders for ₹39.91 crore — payment structured across four tranches through March 2029 — explicitly to build 'mini AI course offerings' for Naukri's user base (Entrackr, 6 Jul). Coding Ninjas posted ₹97.43 crore revenue in FY26 (up from ₹67.15 crore in FY25) but still carries a ₹13.36 crore net loss, which means builders eyeing the Naukri-adjacent skilling surface should expect Info Edge to subsidise and deeply integrate the product rather than run it as a standalone edtech P&L.
