**IPO-bound boAt elevates Gaurav Nayyar as CEO** Nayyar, who previously served as Chief Operating Officer, steps into the CEO role at a time when boAt has returned to profitability and received regulatory clearance for its much-awaited IPO. Imagine Marketing, the parent company of boAt, has elevated Gaurav Nayyar to Chief Executive Officer as the company gears up for its next stage of growth and a public listing. Nayyar brings more than two decades of strategic and operational experience, including eight years as a partner at Bain & Company before joining boAt three years ago. Together with the founding team, he has helped drive the company’s operational execution and business performance. Co-founder Sameer Mehta, who led boAt as CEO in recent years, will now focus on long-term strategy as Executive Director. Co-founder Aman Gupta will retain his role as Non-Executive Director. The leadership change comes on the back of boAt's strong performance in FY25, as the company posted a net profit of Rs 60 crore compared to a loss of Rs 74 crore in the previous year. This turnaround was driven by cost control, resilient audio product sales, and growth in international markets, despite a contraction in its wearables division. boAt's total revenue for FY25 stood at Rs 3,098 crore, of which India contributed the majority, and international revenue grew 44 percent year on year. boAt is now set to become the first Indian D2C electronics brand to go public after receiving SEBI’s approval for its IPO. The upcoming public offer is expected to raise Rs 2,000 crore, with a fresh issue component of Rs 900 crore, and places the company’s valuation near Rs 13,000 crore, as per reports.

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.

Kissht posts Rs 1,337 Cr revenue in FY25 with Rs 161 Cr profit Digital lending platform Kissht has filed draft papers with SEBI. While the company’s financial numbers appear attractive compared to many other IPO-bound startups, both its revenue and profit declined in FY25. Kissht’s operating revenue fell 20% to Rs 1,337 crore in FY25 from Rs 1,674 crore in FY24, according to its restated consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Kissht makes money from interest income and sourcing & servicing fees. Interest on loans slipped 18% to Rs 994 crore, while sourcing and servicing fees grew to Rs 238 crore. Other income streams such as marketing and commission income and insurance commission contributed Rs 7 crore and Rs 3 crore, respectively, during the last fiscal year. As per the company’s DRHP, revenue from operations dropped 20% primarily due to lower income from on-book loans. Interest on loans declined despite higher on-book AUM, as the company adopted competitive pricing and originated longer-tenure loans, which deferred recognition of processing fees. Other fees and charges also fell sharply on account of improved borrower quality and lower bounce rates. However, revenue from off-book loans increased, with sourcing and servicing fees rising 45%, supported by growth in the off-book loan portfolio. On the cost side, impairment on financial instruments was the largest expense, which halved to Rs 327 crore. Outsourcing and back-office expenses fell 32% to Rs 150 crore, while marketing spend declined 11% to Rs 96 crore. Finance cost surged more than two-fold to Rs 164 crore, and employee benefit expenses rose 6.6% to Rs 193 crore. At the end of the last fiscal year, its total expenses declined 21% to Rs 1,136 crore in FY25 from Rs 1,433 crore in FY24. The combination of lower revenue and higher fixed costs led to a contraction in profitability for Kissht. Its net profit declined 18.5% year-on-year to Rs 160.6 crore in FY25 from Rs 197 crore in FY24, while ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at 28.88% and 29.79%, respectively. On a unit level, Kissht spent Rs 0.85 to earn a rupee of operating revenue in FY25. As of March 2025, the company recorded current assets worth Rs 2,161 crore including Rs 144 crore in cash and bank balances.
