Exclusive: Snapmint crosses Rs 150 Cr revenue threshold in FY25, turns profitable Buy now, pay later (BNPL) startup Snapmint has made a strong comeback in FY25, recording nearly 80% year-on-year revenue growth after a flat performance in FY24. The company also turned profitable during the year, according to two sources and documents reviewed by Entrackr. Snapmint’s revenue from operations soared to Rs 158.5 crore in FY25 from Rs 88.5 crore in FY24, as per the documents. Founded in 2017 by Nalin Agrawal, Anil Gelra, and Abhineet Sawa, Snapmint offers credit solutions for purchases in categories like electronics, health, and home essentials. Its digital platform, Nimbus, helps merchants boost sales and reach with customized credit options. Interest income received from granting on services was the primary source of revenue, while commissions, subvention, discount from partners, and processing fees were other allied services for Snapmint. According to the sources, Snapmint also turned black with a profit after tax of Rs 15 crore, a reversal from a loss of Rs 33.6 crore in FY24. Queries sent to Snapmint did not elicit a response. Their comments will be added if and when they respond. The company has also been in talks to raise fresh funding to the tune of $40 million, with General Atlantic likely to lead the round at a valuation of around $150-160 million. Entrackr exclusively reported this development last month. According to the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, the company has raised around $60 million to date, including its $18 million in a mix of debt and equity led by Prashasta Seth (Prudent Investment Manager), Perpetuity Ventures, and Pegasus Fininvest. With offerings that go beyond credit cards, using credit scores instead to perform a credit check and provide limits, Snapmint certainly fills a use case that has become more relevant after the advent of UPI for many users. However, Snapmint faces competition from several BNPL players, including Axio, which was recently acquired by Amazon, Fibe (formerly EarlySalary), which raised $90 million from TR Capital, and Amara Capital. Other competitors include Simpl, Layup, DMI Group-owned ZestMoney, and a few others. With investors no longer as willing to burn money to acquire customers or invest in community building, all the firms, especially those not affiliated to a large ecom platform, face the difficult challenge of access and recognition. With Fibe having raised significant capital, the journey ahead for Snapmint is tougher, but certainly not impossible. The best interest of these apps will be served by a tougher crackdown on unauthorized and illegal lending apps that will clear out the market and bring in a fresh, if smaller segment of new customers. A case for cooperation if there ever was one.

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.

12-year-old Scripbox turns profitable with Rs 107 Cr revenue in FY25 Wealth management platform Scripbox achieved profitability in FY25, on the back of steady revenue growth and disciplined cost control, particularly a sharp reduction in ESOP-related expenses during the period. Scripbox’s revenue from operations rose 27% to Rs 107.24 crore in the financial year ending March 2025, up from Rs 84.33 crore in FY24, according to its consolidated financial statements filed with the Registrar of Companies. Founded in 2012, Scripbox operates a diversified revenue model, earning brokerage and commissions from mutual funds, fixed deposits, PMS, AIFs, and sovereign gold bonds.

It also earned Rs 7.6 crore from investment advisory fees and Rs 1.14 crore from portfolio management service fees.

The company also earned Rs 2.06 crore from interest and gains on financial assets, taking its total revenue to Rs 109.3 crore in FY25. On the cost side, Scripbox’s employee benefits expense had fallen by 32% to Rs 49.55 crore in FY25, compared to Rs 73.07 crore in FY24. The reduction was mainly due to a steep drop in ESOP-related expenses, which fell to Rs 3.48 crore from Rs 25.72 crore in FY24. The company's overall expenditure dwindled by 29% to Rs 95.82 crore in the last fiscal (FY25) from Rs 134 crore in FY24.

In FY24, the company had reported exceptional gains of Rs 48.8 crore from the surrender or cancellation of ESOPs, which made it appear profitable; excluding this non-cash item, Scripbox would have recorded a loss of Rs 44.7 crore in FY24. The company’s EBITDA margin and ROCE improved, turning positive at 20.47% and 14.5%, respectively. At a unit level, Scripbox spent Rs 0.89 to generate one rupee of operating revenue in FY25.

Gameskraft crosses Rs 4,000 Cr revenue in FY25; PAT nears Rs 1,000 Cr

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.
