Exclusive: Atomberg raises Rs 212 Cr in Series C extension led by Temasek Consumer appliances brand Atomberg has secured Rs 212 crore ($24 million) in an extension of its Series C round led by Jongsong Investments (Temasek), with participation from its co-founders and existing backers. As per regulatory filings sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC), the board approved the issuance of 10,006 Series C1 and C2 preference shares at Rs 2,11,835 per share to raise the fresh capital. Temasek led the tranche with an infusion of Rs 132 crore, while Jungle Ventures and Inflexor Fund contributed Rs 17.8 crore and Rs 17.9 crore, respectively. Co-founders Manoj Kumar Meena and Sibabrata Das together invested Rs 44 crore during this round. This appears to be part of a larger ongoing funding round, and Atomberg is expected to raise additional capital for the secondary transactions. As per Entrackr’s estimates, the latest allotment values the company at around $500 million post-money. With this, Atomberg has raised over $150 million to date, including the $86 million Series C round led by Temasek and Steadview Capital in May 2023. Sibabrata Das, co-founder of Atomberg, declined to comment on the queries sent by Entrackr. Founded in 2012 by Meena and Das, Atomberg has built a strong R&D-led product portfolio featuring energy-efficient BLDC and smart fans, mixer grinders, and smart locks. The brand claims a retail footprint spanning more than 15,000 touchpoints across India. Atomberg initially entered the market in 2015, catering to B2B customers such as the Tata Group, Infosys, and Indian Railways before expanding into B2C via Flipkart and Amazon, and later scaling offline distribution from 2018 onward. The company is yet to file its FY25 financials. In FY24, its revenue from operations grew 31% year-on-year to Rs 848 crore, while losses narrowed by 31.7% during the same period.

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.

Gameskraft crosses Rs 4,000 Cr revenue in FY25; PAT nears Rs 1,000 Cr Gameskraft’s FY25 numbers reflect strong performance before the RMG ban. The firm reported double-digit revenue growth and maintained profitability during the fiscal year. The Indian government’s recent ban on real-money gaming formats has disrupted the sector overnight, but Gameskraft’s FY25 numbers reflect strong performance before the clampdown. The firm reported double-digit revenue growth and maintained profitability during the fiscal year. Gameskraft’s revenue from operations grew 12% to Rs 3,896 crore in FY25 from Rs 3,475 crore in FY24, according to its consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Gameskraft operated popular gaming apps such as Rummy Culture, Playship, Pocket 52, RummyPrime, Ludo Culture, and Rummy Time. Its revenue (gross gaming revenue) came from platform fee or commission charged as a percentage of the buy-in fees users invest in games, which contributed Rs 3,882 crore (99.6% of operating revenue), registering a 12.2% growth. Its real estate business added Rs 11 crore, while other income sources contributed Rs 3 crore in FY25. The Bengaluru-based company made an additional Rs 113 crore from non-operating sources which pushed its total revenue to Rs 4,009 crore in FY25. On the cost side, promotional spending emerged as the single largest expense and accounted for 75% of total burn. To the tune of scale, this cost surged 58% to Rs 2,072 crore in FY25 from Rs 1,315 crore in FY24. Employee benefits, on the other hand, saw a decline of 11% to Rs 410 crore, while legal and professional fees fell 22.8% to Rs 112 crore in FY25. Overall, the company’s total expenses shot up 24% to Rs 2,766 crore in FY25 as against Rs 2,232 crore in FY24. See TheKredible for the detailed cost breakdown during the last fiscal year. Despite the jump in ad spend, Gameskraft managed to sustain profitability on the back of its strong topline and controlled costs in other areas. Its net profit stood at Rs 976 crore in FY25, slightly higher than the Rs 947 crore posted in FY24. It's worth noting that we have excluded exceptional items worth Rs 270.5 crore in the calculation of net profit of the company. Gameskraft's ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at 58.40% and 31.63%, respectively. On a unit basis, Gameskraft spent Rs 0.71 to earn a rupee of operating revenue in FY25. The company recorded current assets worth Rs 2,232 crore in FY25 which includes Rs 253 crore in cash and bank balances and Rs 1,319 crore invested in mutual funds. While Gameskraft’s FY25 numbers were unaffected, the Indian government’s new gaming law effective August 2025 has forced the company to halt its real-money operations, including shutting down “Add Cash” features and discontinuing its flagship rummy platform RummyCulture, alongside pausing its poker venture Pocket52 earlier in the year. The move, mandated by the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, has also led Gameskraft to publicly state it will not pursue a legal challenge, instead opting for full compliance. Given that real-money gaming contributed nearly all of Gameskraft’s FY25 revenue, the ban is expected to significantly impact its business model, revenue streams, and growth trajectory going forward.

Atomberg slashes losses by 41% in FY25 after sharp cut in employee costs Consumer appliances brand Atomberg reported another decent financial performance in the fiscal year ended March 2025, as it crossed the Rs 1,000 crore income mark and reduced its losses by over 40% due to a sharp cut in employee costs. The Mumbai-based firm’s revenue from operations surged 20% to Rs 958.4 crore in FY25 from Rs 796.9 crore in FY24, according to its consolidated financial statements filed with the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Atomberg’s product portfolio includes energy-efficient brushless direct current (BLDC) and smart fans, mixer grinders, smart locks, and water purifiers. Sale of these products was the sole source of revenue for the company. The company also earned Rs 42.45 crore from interest on current investments, the sale of investments, and other non-operating sources, taking its total income to Rs 1,000.9 crore in FY25. For the consumer appliances brand, the cost of materials was the largest expense, which formed 61% of total costs at Rs 535.2 crore. This cost increased broadly in line with revenue. Notably, the firm’s employee benefits expenses declined sharply by 36% to Rs 158.6 crore in FY25 from Rs 248.3 crore in FY24. Advertising and promotional expenses and warranty claims stood at Rs 104 crore and Rs 53.8 crore, respectively, in FY25, while commissions on sales, freight and logistics, IT expenses, depreciation and amortisation, and other overheads pushed total expenditure to Rs 1,118.3 crore during the period. At the bottom line, the Temasek-backed company narrowed its losses by 41% to Rs 117.4 crore in FY25 from Rs 199 crore in FY24, largely due to a sharp reduction of Rs 89.7 crore in employee costs during the period. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin improved to -25.02% and -6.62% respectively. On a unit level, it spent Rs 1.17 to earn a rupee of operating revenue. As of March 2025, Atomberg’s current assets were Rs 594.5 crore, including cash and bank balances of Rs 27.3 crore. According to startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Atomberg has raised over $150 million to date, including its most recent $24 million round raised earlier this December, led by Temasek with participation from co-founders Manoj Kumar Meena and Sibabrata Das. Entrackr exclusively reported the funding. Reportedly, Atomberg is eyeing a Rs 2,000 crore ($220 million) initial public offering (IPO) and is expected to list on the Indian stock market during the January–March quarter of FY26. The company has also picked Avendus and IIFL as bankers for the IPO. The IPO plans might be built around optimism around the brand strength and improving financials, with perhaps even profitability a real possibility. Atomberg has clearly done well in a seemingly mature category of fans and appliances, with the whole category seeing a shake-up of sorts as older brands struggle to adapt due to various reasons. Be it its digital approach initially that was backed with clever PR around its BLDC-based push, or the more recent offline push, it has kept a good control on costs. The calibrated approach has impressed investors and consumers alike, and a Rs 3000 crore milestone by 2035 or earlier is not as unlikely as it seems in a category where double-digit growth is an achievement.
