Atomberg revenue grows 31% to Rs 848 Cr in FY24
Medial

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.
