Medial

Gameberry Labs, the parent company behind popular online board games such as Ludo Star, Ludo Titan, and Parchisi Star, reported another year of strong growth in FY25, with operating revenue rising 28% year-on-year and profit increasing 18% to Rs 110 crore. Gameberry Labsโ€™ operating revenue climbed 28% year-on-year to Rs 591 crore in FY25 from Rs 461.7 crore in the previous fiscal, as per its consolidated filings with the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Gameberry Labs operates four popular games: Ludo Star, Ludo Titan, Parchisi Star and BackGammon Friends, which together have recorded nearly 150 million downloads, as per the companyโ€™s website. The company primarily earns from in-app purchases, contributing over 84% of its total revenue at Rs 499 crore, a 37% year-on-year increase. The remaining 16% came from advertising, which declined marginally by around 5% to Rs 92 crore in FY25. The company also earned Rs 31.3 crore from interest income, taking its total income to Rs 591 crore in FY25. On the expense front, platform hosting and payment facilitation charges emerged as Gameberryโ€™s largest cost component, accounting for over 30% of total expenses at Rs 143.37 crore, a 33% year-on-year increase. Employee benefit expenses rose 20% to Rs 135.48 crore, while advertising costs surged 42% to Rs 96.7 crore in FY25. Gameberry paid Rs 64 crore in FY25 as part of a settlement agreement with Moonfrog Labs Private Limited (MLPL), linked to a case previously pending before the City Civil Court, Bengaluru. The settlement included a one-time payment of Rs 32.8 crore in FY20, along with a commitment to pay a fixed percentage of its monthly net revenue until 2030. The controlled expenditure and growth in high-margin revenue streams helped Gameberry strengthen its profitability. The companyโ€™s net profit rose 18.5% to Rs 110 crore in FY25, up from Rs 92.8 crore in FY24. On a unit basis, the company spent Rs 0.79 to earn a rupee in the fiscal year. Its EBITDA margin stood at 14.6% and a ROCE of 15.3%. As on March 2025, Gameberryโ€™s current assets stood at Rs 564 crore, including cash and bank balances of Rs 114.8 crore. As a free-to-play gaming firm, Gameberry Labs might have escaped unscathed from the August ban on real money gaming in India. But there will be second order effects that will play out in the sector that will become more apparent as financials for FY26 start coming out. For Gameberry Labs, a stated ambition to go global from the beginning is likely to be tested fiercely, to see if the firm can deliver now. With multiple job openings still up on its site, the firm is giving it a very good go.

Online gaming startup Winzo registered 2.8X growth in its scale during the fiscal year ending March 2023. Significantly, the Delhi-based company also posted a hefty profit of Rs 126 crore in the same period. Winzoโ€™s revenue from operations surged to Rs 674 crore in FY23 from Rs 234 crore in FY22, its consolidated financial statements filed with the Registrar of Companies show. Established in 2018, Winzo offers over 100 games across categories such as strategy, sports, casual, card, arcade, racing, action, and board games. The service fees levied on the total funds involved in real money games, and the sale of digital or in-app vouchers were the only revenue drivers for Winzo. The company also made Rs 16.78 crore from interest (non-operating), taking its total revenue to Rs 691 core in FY23. Similar to every online gaming platform, Winzo spent a major chunk (46% of its total expenditure) on marketing (advertising cum promotions). This cost surged 29.6% to Rs 258 crore in FY23. The firmโ€™s burn on employee benefits, legal-professional, commission paid to agents, direct gaming costs, and other overheads catalyzed its overall expenditure to Rs 564 crore in FY23 from Rs 375 crore in FY22.

On a unit level, the company spent Rs 0.84 to earn a rupee in FY23.

According to the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Makers Fund is the largest external stakeholder with 15.77% followed by Griffin Gaming Partners and Courtside Ventures. The significant jump in profits for Winzo underscores the best case scenario for most gaming platforms today. A high fixed cost business till it achieves critical mass in terms of users and fees, and post that, very low cost increases, as most of the incremental money goes to the bottomline. For Winzo, however, future investments will beckon soon, both in terms of new game development as well as the high marketing spends, which it will find tough to tamp down for now. But with a growing gamers user base across the country and with itself, next only to China, maintaining margins may not be as tough. You can be sure that if it does so in FY24, India will have its next high growth Unicorn from gaming to talk about.
