Metalbook’s gross revenue crosses Rs 1,300 Cr in FY25 Following a 76% year-on-year growth in FY24, metal supply-chain platform Metalbook maintained its momentum in FY25, crossing the Rs 1,300 crore revenue mark, a 66.7% jump from Rs 796 crore in FY24. According to its internal financial documents reviewed by Entrackr, the company’s revenue from operations stood at Rs 1,327 crore during FY25, while total income reached Rs 1,332 crore. The sale of ferrous commodities accounted for 71% of the total operating revenue, growing 33% to Rs 938 crore in FY25. Meanwhile, income from non-ferrous commodities and other operating activities jumped 4X to Rs 389 crore during the last fiscal year. For the metal supply-chain platform, the cost of procurement of metals formed 95.6% of the total costs. In line with its scale, this cost grew by 64% to Rs 1,303 crore in FY25. Meanwhile, its total expenses rose in proportion, up 66.9% to Rs 1,362 crore. Despite the scale-up, Metalbook managed to retain cost discipline, maintaining its expense-to-revenue ratio at 1.03X, the same as last year. Metalbook’s operating losses modestly remained at Rs 9.8 crore from Rs 9.7 crore, with the firm’s EBITDA margin remained steady at -0.7%, indicating that operational efficiency has largely held up amid strong topline growth. On the balance sheet, Metalbook’s total assets surged 26% to Rs 245 crore, backed by improved liquidity as cash and bank balances rose 24% to Rs 77.5 crore. Founded in 2021, Metalbook operates a full-stack digital marketplace for metal procurement, logistics, and financing. Following its $18 million Series A round led by Rigel Capital and Foundamental, the company has been expanding across niche categories in the metal, energy, and sustainability supply chains. Metalbook is well placed to benefit from the massive push for Make in India and infrastructure development in India, with demand for most metal and minerals in its portfolio expected to stay steady, if not higher. The firm has been meeting projected revenues by doing the basics right, and the B2B player should be able to deliver profits soon.

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.

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.
