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 companyโ€™s press release. The companyโ€™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. โ€œGrowing from around Rs 42 crore in FY24 to Rs 115 crore in FY25 and turning EBITDA breakeven is a validating moment for the teamโ€ฆ it proves a beer brand in India can be built sustainably and capital efficiently,โ€ 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. Proostโ€™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.

Medial

Titan-owned CaratLane has continued its growth trajectory as its revenue grew 42% in the fiscal year ending March 2024. The companyโ€™s profit dipped marginally due to aggressive expansion, though. CaratLaneโ€™s revenue from operations grew to Rs 3,081 crore in FY24 from Rs 2,169 crore in FY23, its consolidated annual statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) show. CaratLane sells gold, silver, and diamond jewelry for both men and women through its website and network of offline stores. As per its website, the firm operates over 262 stores across 105 cities. The sale of the jewelry was the sole source of revenue for CaratLane in FY24. The company also earned Rs 25 crore from other financial activities, taking the overall revenue to Rs 3,106 crore in the said fiscal. For the jewelry maker, the cost of procurement of material/stones was naturally the largest cost center forming 69% of the total expenditure. To the tune of scale, this cost grew 48% to Rs 2077 crore in FY24. Employee benefits, advertisement cum promotion, legal, technical, and transportation are some major overheads that pushed the total cost to Rs 2,992 crore in FY24 from Rs 2,069 crore in FY23. See TheKredible for the detailed cost breakup. Despite an impressive scale, the company reported a flat profit which stood at Rs 79 crore in FY24 as compared to Rs 82 crore in FY23. The expansion of stores appears to be the reason for the marginal dip in PAT. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at 34.88% and 8.98%, respectively. On a unit level, it spent Rs 0.97 to earn a rupee in FY24. FY23-FY24 FY23 FY24 EBITDA Margin 9.64% 8.98% Expense/โ‚น of Op Revenue โ‚น0.95 โ‚น0.97 ROCE 38.19% 34.88% CaratLane also disclosed its financials for the first quarter of FY25. The companyโ€™s total income surged 18% year-on-year to Rs 754 crore in Q1 FY25 while its EBITDA saw an 8% increase to Rs 38 crore during the same period. In February, Tata Group firm Titan Company acquired the remaining 0.36% stake of CaratLane for Rs 60.08 crore. Following the deal, CaratLane transitioned into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Titan Company. CaratLane directly competes with Bluestone which recorded Rs 788 crore in operating revenue for FY23 and reportedly raised Rs 900 crore ($107 million) in pre IPO round. Among the venture funded startups, Melorra and Giva are other notable competitors.

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.
