Virat Kohli-backed WROGN faces another tough year with rising losses
Medial

Virat Kohli-backed fashion brand WROGN’s parent company has witnessed another challenging year, with revenue declining and losses mounting further. WROGN’s revenue from operations slipped 9% to Rs 223 crore in FY25 from Rs 245 crore in FY24, according to its annual financial statements filed with the Registrar of Companies. For context, the company had already seen a steep 29% revenue drop in FY24. Founded in 2014 by the brother-sister duo Anjana and Vikram Reddy, WROGN operates in the lifestyle and fashion space, dealing in apparel, footwear, and accessories. Sales of these products remain the firm’s primary source of revenue. The company booked Rs 9 crore as other income from interest on deposits and gains on financial assets, taking its total revenue to Rs 232 crore in FY25, down from Rs 266 crore in FY24. For the fashion brand, procurement of materials accounted for 40% of the total expenditure, amounting to Rs 126 crore in FY25. Employee benefit expenses rose to Rs 39 crore, while the company also ramped up spending on advertising and promotions, which surged 63% year-on-year despite the revenue dip. Overall, WROGN’s total expenses swelled to Rs 313 crore during FY25. The increase in employee and marketing spends pushed the company deeper into losses. Net losses rose by 31.6% to Rs 75 crore in FY25, compared to Rs 57 crore in FY24. As of March 2025, the company’s accumulated losses stood at a staggering Rs 709 crore. Key financial ratios also remained under pressure, with ROCE at -70% and EBITDA margin at -27.5% for FY25. In June 2024, WROGN secured Rs 125 crore (about $15 million) from TMRW House of Brands, part of the Aditya Birla Group, and raised another $9 million in October. With this infusion, the company has raised over $90 million since its inception. WROGN’s sluggish performance also comes at a time when newer fashion labels like Snitch, Bewakoof, The Pant Project, and Rare Rabbit are rapidly scaling and eating into market share. Unlike WROGN, which has largely relied on Virat Kohli’s brand pull, these online-first challengers are leveraging faster design cycles, sharper pricing, and aggressive social media playbooks to win over Gen Z and millennial shoppers. The rise of these brands underlines how quickly consumer preferences are shifting in the mass-premium fashion segment, leaving older players struggling to keep pace.

Cleartrip, Flipkart-owned online travel aggregator (OTA), narrowed its losses by 20% in FY25 on the back of 70% revenue growth, though losses remained high at Rs 651 crore. Flipkart-owned online travel aggregator (OTA) Cleartrip improved its financial performance in the fiscal year ending March 2025, with revenue growing 70% and losses declining 20%. However, the company spent over Rs 600 crore on discounts and cashbacks to achieve this scale. Cleartrip’s net operating revenue surged 70% to Rs 169.3 crore in FY25 from Rs 99.7 crore in FY24, according to its annual filings with the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Cleartrip generated Rs 516.46 crore from service income in FY25, recording a 40% growth over FY24. It also earned Rs 248.38 crore from commissions and incentives, along with Rs 12.7 crore from other operating services. However, heavy discounts and cashbacks of Rs 608.2 crore during the year pulled its net operating revenue down to Rs 169.3 crore. On the cost side, employee benefits were Cleartrip’s largest expense, accounting for 27% of total burn. These costs fell 40% in FY25 from Rs 400.5 crore in FY24. This includes Rs 52.65 crore in non-cash ESOP expenses. Excluding ESOPs, spending on salaries and wages stood at Rs 186.6 crore in the fiscal year ended March 2025. Cleartrip spent Rs 102.16 crore on advertising and marketing in FY25, while commissions and brokerage costs surged over 80% to Rs 128.75 crore from Rs 70 crore in FY24. Finance costs also rose 50% to Rs 143.2 crore, and the company incurred Rs 78.65 crore in payment gateway charges. Other overheads, including outsourcing, IT, and legal and professional services, pushed Cleartrip’s total expenses to Rs 885.8 crore in FY25, down over 10% from Rs 990.7 crore in FY24. The Mumbai-based company’s 70% increase in revenue and control in its expenses led the company to cut its losses by 20% to Rs 651 crore in FY25, compared to Rs 810.3 crore, while its EBITDA margin stood at -334.78%. On a unit basis, it spent Rs 5.23 to earn a rupee of operating revenue in FY25 which improved from around Rs 10 in FY24. As of March 2025, the company’s current assets stood at Rs 709.8 crore, including cash and bank balances of Rs 71.6 crore. Cleartrip has become somewhat of an oddity in the Flipkart stable. Flipkart, which made almost Rs 6,400 crores from advertising in FY25, has not really done much with the OTA other than slap it on as a travel offering. But at these margins, does it even make sense? Would Flipkart be better off renting out the space to some other independent travel operator?
