Other overheads, including outsourced services, merchant onboarding, and IT expenses, pushed the company’s total expenditure to Rs 1,876 crore in the fiscal year ending March 2025.

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.

Exclusive All Stories Exclusive: BigHaat crosses Rs 1,100 Cr revenue in FY25; turns EBITDA profitable Full-stack agritech platform BigHaat Agro posted a flat scale with single-digit year-on-year growth in the fiscal year ending March 2025. However, the Bengaluru-based company managed to narrow its losses by over 25% during the last fiscal year. According to its co-founder Sateesh Nukala, BigHaat has crossed the Rs 1,100 crore revenue threshold in FY25 from Rs 1,050 crore in FY24. BigHaat’s revenue split consists of 85% of revenue coming from farm produce sales, with agri-inputs, which is direct to farmers, and digital only contributing 15%. The platform now counts 3 million monthly active farmers and reported 15% gross margins in FY25, said Nukala in an interaction with Entrackr. Nukala highlighted that exports and advanced processing, a high-margin vertical launched in FY25, now contribute 20% to its monthly revenue. “We have reduced our net loss to Rs 25 crore in FY25 from Rs 35 crore in FY24 and turned EBITDA positive for the last three quarters,” said Nukala. He also added that BigHaat is among the few agritech startups to achieve profitability at scale with 6x revenue-to-capital efficiency. As per Nukala, the company is targeting Rs 1,400 crore in FY26, with spices emerging as a key growth driver. “We are also open to acquisitions of new brands to strengthen our portfolio,” he emphasized. BigHaat has raised around $25 million to date. In January 2022, it raised Rs 100 crore led by JM Financial. Beyond Next Ventures, Ashish Kacholia, Ankur Capital, and others are some notable investors for the firm. This contrasts with larger peers. DeHaat, India’s most valued agritech startup, clocked Rs 2,675 crore revenue in FY24 but with losses of over Rs 240 crore. Ninjacart, backed by Walmart and Flipkart, crossed Rs 2,000 crore revenue in the same fiscal but recorded a Rs 259.6 crore loss. By combining steady topline growth, improving margins, and sustained EBITDA profitability, BigHaat is positioning itself as one of the few agritech ventures balancing scale with financial discipline, while many peers continue to burn capital at larger scales.

SafeGold clocks Rs 6,867 Cr in gold transactions in FY25; turns EBITDA positive

Digital gold investment platform Safegold’s gross revenue growth slowed to 12% in FY25 as it reported Rs 6,867 crore in operating revenue. The firm also turned EBITDA positive during the year. Digital gold investment platform Safegold’s gross revenue growth slowed to 12% in FY25, following strong expansion of 82% and 36% in FY23 and FY24, respectively, amid soaring gold prices in the country. However, the company turned EBITDA positive during the last fiscal year. Safegold gross revenue surged by 12% to Rs 6,867 crore in FY25 from Rs 6,116 crore in FY24, its consolidated financial statements filed with the Register of Companies (RoC) shows. Safegold is a digital platform that allows customers to easily buy, sell, and securely store vaulted gold, even in small denominations. It also enables users to convert their digital gold into jewellery through partnerships with Tata-owned Tanishq and CaratLane. The sale of digital gold across online and offline platforms was the primary revenue driver for the Mumbai-based company and contributed Rs 6,839 crore. The firm earned another Rs 27 crore from other operating revenue sources. Safegold sourced gold from refineries, custodians, and other trusted partners, accounting for 99.2% of its total expenditure. This cost climbed 12.5% to Rs 6,809 crore in FY25 from Rs 6,052 crore in FY24, mirroring its overall scale-up. Employee benefits expenses rose 12.5% year-on-year to Rs 12.44 crore in FY25, while it booked Rs 30.83 crore under miscellaneous expenses. Legal and professional fees, advertising, distribution, and other overheads pushed the total expenditure to Rs 6,895 crore in FY25. On the bottom line, Safegold’s losses rose to Rs 12.2 crore, which included Rs 14.48 crore of one-time exceptional expenses. At the operational level, however, the company reported a positive EBITDA of Rs 2 crore during the year. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at 32.77% and 0.03% respectively. On a unit level, it spent Rs 1 to earn a rupee in FY25. The company’s current assets stood at Rs 56.74 crore, including cash and bank balances of Rs 32 crore at the end of March 2025. Safegold is backed by Pravega Ventures, Beenext, a Singapore-based angel network, and individual investors such as Rajan Anandan, Roshan Angrish, Prashant Malik, and Niraj Shah. The company has raised over $2 million to date, according to startup data intelligence platform TheKredible. Even as SafeGold reported steady growth in FY25, digital gold continues to gain traction among retail investors. SEBI’s recent clarification that these products do not fall under its regulatory or commodity-derivative framework has removed ambiguity but keeps the category largely self-governed, a gap that could hamper customer interests in the long run if platforms fail to uphold adequate safeguards. With distribution widening across fintech apps, the onus is now on players to strengthen disclosures, audits and vault-management practices as the category scales.

EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) made up 19%, while Asia-Pacific’s share declined to 24% from 33% in FY24.
