Shikhar Aggarwal, Joint Managing Director of BLS International, said that FY25 was the company’s best financial performance so far. The company achieved a total revenue of ₹2,193.3 crore for the full year, which is a 30.8% growth compared to the previous year.
He credited this success to strong performances in both their Visa & Consular and Digital services divisions. Key initiatives during the year included acquiring businesses such as Turkey-based iDATA and Dubai-based Citizenship Invest, as well as moving from a partner-led to a self-managed business model in some regions.
The acquisition of Aadifidelis also helped strengthen the digital services segment, improving the company’s market reach. Aggarwal emphasised that all these steps were aimed at strengthening the company’s core operations and expanding into new markets for long-term growth.
