Teachmint revenue grows 2X in FY24, losses down to Rs 82 Cr
Medial

SaaS-based edtech firm Teachmint improved its financial performance in the last fiscal year, doubling its operating scale while reducing year-on-year losses by more than 39%. However, the Lightspeed-backed company has yet to achieve significant scale. Teachmint’s revenue from operations spiked to Rs 17.1 crore in the fiscal year ending March 2024 from Rs 8.15 crore in FY23, its consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies show. Teachmint sells education software solutions through subscriptions to schools and teachers. The sale of software solutions accounted for 73% of the operating revenue which increased by 56% to Rs 12.5 crore in FY24. The rest of the income is derived from the sale of devices like biometrics, interactive flat panels, GPS devices, among others. The Bengaluru-based company firm managed to control its overall cost, reduced by 26.6% to Rs 160 crore in FY24 from Rs 218 crore in FY23. Key areas of cost reduction include employee benefits, marketing, and IT which dwindled by 21.2%, 63.6%, and 9.1% respectively. The 2X surge and controlled expenditure helped Teachmint reduce its losses by 39.2% to Rs 110 crore during the last fiscal year from Rs 181 crore in FY23. Excluding non-cash ESOP costs, the company’s losses stood at Rs 82 crore for the fiscal year ending March 2024. Its ROCE and EBIDTA margins stood at -24.7% and -198%, respectively. On a unit level, the company spent Rs 9.36 to earn a rupee in FY24. Importantly, the firm has a total current assets of Rs 440 crore including Rs 34 crore of cash and bank balances in the last fiscal year. The company’s transformation from pre-revenue to a significant revenue jump is largely driven by shifting its focus to digitize schools. Entrackr reported about the strategic move in April last year. Teachmint faced significant challenges in FY24, including laying off over 70 employees. It has raised over $100 million in funding, with a $78 million Series B round in October 2021 at a valuation of $500 million. However, it has not raised any additional funding in the last three years. Its competitor Classplus achieved a two-fold revenue increase to Rs 213 crore in FY24, while its newer rival, Lead School, recorded 25% growth to Rs 370 crore in revenue in the same period.

As part of its mid-year performance cycle, the company also let go of 5% of its workforce in August this year. In 2023, ShareChat implemented several cost-cutting measures and laid off 700 employees across two phases.

Consumer appliances brand Atomberg reported over 31% growth in its operating revenue in the fiscal year ending March 2024. At the same time, the Mumbai-based firm also reduced losses by 31.7% during this period. Atomberg’s revenue from operations rose 31.5% to Rs 848 crore in FY24 from Rs 645 crore in the previous fiscal year, according to its press release. This growth indicates strong performance in its core product segment: fans, which contributed Rs 841 crore to its coffers. Atomberg’s product portfolio includes energy-efficient brushless direct current (BLDC) and smart fans, mixer grinders, and smart locks. It claims to have sold more than 8 million units to date. The non-fan segment, however, earned only Rs 7 crore during FY24. The company expects significant growth in these areas in FY25, driven by positive sales trends in its kitchen and lock products. The company also reported an improvement in its operating results, with operational EBITDA moving from a loss of Rs 49 crore to Rs 22 crore in FY24, narrowing the EBITDA margin from -8% to -3%. Backed by A91 Ventures, Atomberg improved its financials, reducing losses by 31.7% in the last fiscal year. According to the company, losses fell from Rs 202 crore in FY23 to Rs 138 crore in FY24. The difference between operational EBITDA and reported losses was attributed to non-operational expenses, including ESOP grants, management bonuses, and costs related to fundraising activities. In the e-commerce market, Atomberg retained its position as a key seller on major online marketplaces. The company also made substantial investments in research and development (R&D) during the year to introduce new products, including fans and mixers. Founded by Manoj Meena and Sibabrata Das in 2012, Atomberg has raised $130 million to date, including an $86 million Series C funding round led by Temasek and Steadview Capital in May last year.
