Shikhar Aggarwal, joint managing director of BLS International Services, said, “I am delighted to report the company’s highest-ever financial performance in FY25, achieving ₹2,193.3 crore in revenue which recorded a strong 30.8 per cent Y-o-Y growth. This performance was fuelled by a strong performance in both Visa & Consular and Digital businesses.”

 

“During the year, we undertook several initiatives in both the businesses. From acquiring synergistic business like the Turkey-based iDATA and Dubai-based Citizenship Invest, to undergoing changes in our business model from partner-run to self-managed in some geographies and continued focus on operational efficiencies, our visa & consular services business has witnessed good traction due to these initiatives. Meanwhile, in our digital business, the acquisition of Aadifidelis has increased our penetration and enhanced our market presence. All these initiatives were focussed at strengthening our core business and expanding into untapped markets to drive future growth and reflect our commitment to long-term value creation for our stakeholders. Our endeavour is to focus on delivering a profitable and sustainable performance, backed by a strong business model and significant opportunity in the outsourcing services industry,” Aggarwal added.
