M League earns Rs 560 Cr from overseas in FY25, turns profitable According to its consolidated financial statements filed with Singapore’s ACRA, M League’s revenue from operations surged to Rs 1,423 crore ($166.7 million) in FY25 from Rs 1,092 crore ($127.9 million) in FY24. M League, the parent company of Mobile Premier League (MPL), has recorded one of its strongest financial performances in FY25, clocking over 30% year-on-year growth and turning profitable at the group level. The turnaround, however, comes at a time when the company has had to shut down its real-money gaming (RMG) operations in India. Gaming remained the primary revenue driver, contributing $165.8 million, while the rest came from advertising and other operating activities. India was the largest market, accounting for around 60% of total revenue, followed by Europe and the US. Its German subsidiary, GameDuell Studios, a wholly owned unit, contributed nearly $60 million revenue in FY25. Advertising formed the largest expense, making up 42% of the total and rising 32.8% to $70 million. The company managed to trim employee benefit expenses by 20.5% to Rs 364 crore, while other operating costs, including payment gateway, server hosting, and professional fees, pushed total expenditure to $166.2 million (Rs 1,419 crore) in FY25. M League reported a net profit of $4.2 million (Rs 36.5 crore) in FY25, a sharp turnaround from a loss of $44.8 million (Rs 383 crore) in FY24. Its EBITDA margin turned positive at 2.45% during the last fiscal year. While FY25 marked a milestone year, the company’s outlook in India remains uncertain after the government’s move to outlaw real-money gaming. A company spokesperson told Entrackr that the latest results highlight the benefits of M League’s diversified strategy. “We didn’t put all our eggs into the India RMG basket. We have bought ourselves time and can act from a place of near-EBITDA breakeven at a group level while continuing to invest in growth areas such as GameDuell, Xsquads, and other ventures,” the spokesperson added. GameDuell grew 64% during FY25, while M League had already made early inroads into the US and Brazil by March 2025. International expansion is part of the company’s long-term vision to host a digital Olympics with players from across nations. M League maintained that its global portfolio gives it the flexibility to balance investment and returns. GameDuell has been profitable for years despite its rapid growth, and at the group level, M League has the ability to generate EBITDA whenever it chooses. M League refrained from sharing near-term projections, stating that it is too early to forecast annualized revenue after shutting down its India operations.

Udaan in Talks with M&G Prudential for Equity Round, Valuation Expected to Dip Below $2 Billion
Medial

Indian B2B e-commerce platform Udaan is in talks with UK-based M&G Prudential for a new equity round, aiming to secure an investment of $100-150 million. This investment may result in a significant decrease in Udaan's valuation, potentially falling below the $2 billion mark. The need for an equity round and valuation correction is attributed to intense competition, changing market dynamics, operational challenges, and regulatory hurdles in India's evolving B2B e-commerce sector. While the valuation adjustment may seem challenging, Udaan's collaboration with M&G Prudential could bring valuable insights and international support, helping the company navigate these challenges and tap into the sector's potential.
