Proost Beer crosses Rs 100 Cr revenue in FY25, achieves EBITDA breakeven Proost, a homegrown beer startup, has recorded strong growth in FY25 with its revenue surging by 2.7X. Alongside the rapid revenue expansion, the company also claimed to have achieved EBITDA breakeven during the fiscal year, according to the company’s press release. The company’s revenue from operations increased by 174% to Rs 115 crore in FY25 from Rs 42 crore in FY24. According to the company, the growth was led by a steep rise in sales volume, which increased from 2.5 lakh cases in FY24 to 8 lakh cases in FY25. “Growing from around Rs 42 crore in FY24 to Rs 115 crore in FY25 and turning EBITDA breakeven is a validating moment for the team… it proves a beer brand in India can be built sustainably and capital efficiently,” said Tarun Bhargava, CEO and co-founder of Proost. The company has achieved EBITDA breakeven, which was largely driven by sharper cost discipline. A major lever was keeping marketing and brand spends under 2% of revenue, while maintaining a lean organisational structure to control people costs. According to TheKredible, Proost has raised $8 million of funding till date, having Dauble Pte, UMJD Family, Dev Punj, and Manshi Parashar as its lead investors. Proost’s capital-efficient growth comes as some early players in the craft beer segment reassess their strategies. Bira 91, once a leading homegrown beer brand, has scaled back its operations over the past year following regulatory disruptions that impacted sales across multiple states. The company also deferred its IPO plans amid pressure on financials. Along with this, it competes with Maka Di, Arbor Brewing Company, Kati Patang, Witlinger, Simba, et al.

Diagnostic startup Healthians recorded a modest 8% year-on-year growth during the fiscal year ending March 2024. However, the WestBridge-backed company reduced its losses by 65% and achieved EBITDA breakeven in the same period. Healthians’s revenue from operations increased to Rs 243 crore in FY24 from Rs 224 crore in FY23, its consolidated annual results sourced from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) show. Healthians offers at-home diagnostic services across over 250 cities and claims to have conducted more than 10 crore tests to date. Income from running laboratories for pathological tests was the primary source of revenue for Healthians which increased 8.62% to Rs 240.5 crore in FY24. The rest of the collections were from the sale of supplements, which stood at Rs 2.2 crore in the last fiscal year. Healthians also added Rs 10 crore from non-operational activities (interest income) which tallied the overall revenue to Rs 253 crore in FY24, as compared to Rs 236 crore in FY23. The Gurugram-based company allocated 40% of its overall burn to employee benefits. This cost dropped by 11.8% to Rs 120 crore in FY24 compared to Rs 136 crore in FY23. Advertising expenses also shrank over 62% to Rs 39 crore in FY24 from Rs 103 crore in FY23. The cost of material consumed, rent, Information technology, and other overheads took the overall expenditure to Rs 298 crore in FY24. The controlled spending on advertising and employee benefits helped Healthians to narrow losses by 65% to Rs 45 crore in FY24. With this, the company has achieved EBITDA breakeven in the previous fiscal (FY24). Coming to the ratios, Healthians’ ROCE and EBITDA margins improved to -20.4% and 0% (breakeven) in FY24. It spent Rs 1.23 to earn a rupee in FY24. The company has a total current assets of Rs 62 crore including the cash and bank balances of Rs 30 crore in the previous fiscal. Healthians has raised around $80 million to date including its last round of $54 million led by WestBridge in 2022. According to the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, WestBridge is the largest external stakeholder with 25% followed by Beenext and DG Ventures. Financial stability is the primary thing that a company needs to survive. It seems like Healthians got some of the mantras to how to be constant with the scale while burning low. Achieving EBITDA breakeven for the first time will give more confidence to both founders and investors. Turning this achievement into net profits is difficult yet achievable- an approach Dr. PathLabs has been executing for many years. The next two to three years will be crucial in shaping the company's trajectory.
