Exclusive: Smallcase crosses Rs 100 Cr revenue mark in FY25
Medial

Smallcase runs a platform that helps brokers execute transactions in exchange-traded products. Its main source of revenue is the transaction fees charged to these brokers. Wealthtech platform Smallcase recorded over 50% year-on-year growth in the fiscal year ended March 2025, with improved unit economics, according to the data shared by the sources. Smallcaseโ€™s revenue from operations grew to Rs 106 crore in FY25 from Rs 67.4 crore in FY24, as per the documents. The platform has facilitated transactions worth Rs 1.2 lakh crore and serves a user base of over 10 million investors. Despite over 50% growth in FY25, Smallcase managed to keep a good check on its overall cost, which resulted in a reduction of its EBITDA losses to Rs 9 crore in FY25. However, the Bengaluru-based company posted a net loss of Rs 34 crore in the last fiscal year (FY25). Smallcase has secured around $120 million to date, including its $50 million Series D in March this year, which was led by Elev8 Ventures, with participation from State Street Global Advisors, Niveshaay AIF, Faering Capital, and others. Prior to this, it closed a $40 million round in 2022. According to the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Smallcase is currently valued at $285-290 million. Peak XV holds the largest external stake at 16.2%, followed by Fearing Capital and Blume Ventures with 9.67% and 7.67%, respectively. Smallcase faces competition from platforms like INDmoney, which reported Rs 70 crore in revenue for FY24, and Wint Wealth, which posted Rs 21 crore during the same period. Other rivals include Scripbox, Dezerv, and several emerging wealthtech players.

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. BigHaatโ€™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. โ€œWe 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,โ€ 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. โ€œWe are also open to acquisitions of new brands to strengthen our portfolio,โ€ 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, Indiaโ€™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.

Gameskraft crosses Rs 4,000 Cr revenue in FY25; PAT nears Rs 1,000 Cr Gameskraftโ€™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 governmentโ€™s recent ban on real-money gaming formats has disrupted the sector overnight, but Gameskraftโ€™s FY25 numbers reflect strong performance before the clampdown. The firm reported double-digit revenue growth and maintained profitability during the fiscal year. Gameskraftโ€™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 companyโ€™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 Gameskraftโ€™s FY25 numbers were unaffected, the Indian governmentโ€™s new gaming law effective August 2025 has forced the company to halt its real-money operations, including shutting down โ€œAdd Cashโ€ 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 Gameskraftโ€™s FY25 revenue, the ban is expected to significantly impact its business model, revenue streams, and growth trajectory going forward.
