Full-stack metal supply-chain platform Metalbook recorded nearly Rs 800 crore of gross revenue for the fiscal year ended March 2024. However, its losses surged over two-fold in the same period. Metalbook’s gross revenue, known as gross merchandise value (GMV), surged 76% to Rs 796 crore in FY24 from Rs 452 crore in FY23, according to its financial statement sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Founded in 2021, Metalbook is a full-stack procurement platform that helps businesses, including SMEs, with inventory liquidation, logistics, and credit, among others. It claims to work with over 500 manufacturers, dealers, and suppliers, including ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel, Tata Steel, and JSW, across 16 countries. These services were the only source of revenue for the Gurugram-based company in FY24. The firm also made an additional Rs 2.5 crore from interest on deposits and investments, which pushed its total income to Rs 799 crore in FY24. For the supply chain platform, the cost of procurement of materials was the company’s largest cost center, accounting for 96% of the overall expenditure. This cost surged by 75.34% to Rs 782 crore in FY24. Employee benefit expenses jumped 90.48% to Rs 16 crore. Provisions for bad debts stood at Rs 3.7 crore, while other expenses—including legal, technology, and travel—contributed Rs 14.3 crore. These factors drove total expenses up by 77.78% to Rs 816 crore in FY24. Despite the 76% growth in scale, Metalbook’s loss spiked by 2.8 times to Rs 17 crore in FY24 from Rs 6 crore in FY23. Its return on capital employed (ROCE) and EBITDA margin stood at -9.65% and -1.27% respectively. On a unit basis, the company spent Rs 1.03 to earn a rupee of gross revenue in FY24. The Delhi-based company’s current assets stood at Rs 193 crore, which includes Rs 61 crore of cash and bank balance in the previous fiscal year. According to TheKredible, Metalbook has raised $23 million of funding to date. Axilor, Foundamental, and RTP Global are the major investors who hold 13.55%, 8.23%, and 5.81% of the company respectively.

Zomato board approves renaming company to ‘Eternal’ Food tech major Zomato has received board approval to change its legal name from ‘Zomato Ltd’ to ‘Eternal Ltd.’ On February 6th, Zomato’s board approved a resolution to rename the company from ‘Zomato Limited’ to ‘Eternal Limited,’ according to a regulatory filing sourced from the National Stock Exchange. “When we acquired Blinkit, we started using “Eternal” (instead of Zomato) internally to distinguish between the company and the brand/app. We also thought that we would publicly rename the company to Eternal, the day something beyond Zomato became a significant driver of our future. Today, with Blinkit, I feel we are there. We would like to rename Zomato Ltd., the company (not the brand/app), to Eternal Ltd,” said Deepinder Goyal, founder and CEO of Zomato. Goyal added that the company’s corporate website will transition from zomato.com to eternal.com. Additionally, its stock ticker will change from ZOMATO to ETERNAL. As of now, Eternal will comprise four major businesses: Zomato, Blinkit, District, and Hyperpure. The development comes weeks after Zomato’s quarterly results and a couple of months after its $1 billion fundraise via QIP. The Gurugram-based company’s revenue from operations surged 64.4% to Rs 5,405 crore in Q3 FY25, compared to Rs 3,288 crore in Q3 FY24. However, its profit took a hit, slipping 57.2% YoY to Rs 59 crore during the period. Meanwhile, the company re-entered the 10–15 minute food delivery space and invested Rs 500 crore in its quick commerce subsidiary, Blinkit. Zomato also made history as the first new-age Indian tech company to join the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Sensex 30, replacing JSW Steel Limited in India’s benchmark index of the top 30 companies.
