The company noted underlying billings growth around 15% after adjusting for timing differences, supported by improved enterprise renewal rates and stable hiring activity. AI-Rex and Talent Pulse are contributing to higher ARPU. The Jobseeker business, Naukri 360, saw billings grow over 35%, with increasing adoption of AI-powered offerings. NaukriGulf grew 12%.

The Shiksha business experienced a decline in billings by 23% and revenue by 12%, attributed to AI-driven changes in search behavior affecting traffic and client delivery outcomes.
