SilverPush couldn’t replicate its FY24 growth momentum in FY25, with revenue posting barely double-digit growth compared to nearly 120% year-on-year growth in FY24. Importantly, the company reported a loss of over Rs 17 crore in 2025. Marketing technology platform SilverPush couldn’t replicate its FY24 growth momentum in FY25, with revenue posting barely double-digit growth compared to nearly 120% year-on-year growth in the previous fiscal (FY24). Importantly, the company slipped into the red, reporting a loss of over Rs 17 crore in the fiscal year ending March 2025. SilverPush’s revenue increased 11% to Rs 386 crore in FY25, as compared to Rs 347 crore in FY24, according to the company's provisional financial statement reviewed by Entrackr. Silverpush provides AI-powered advertising solutions including contextual advertising, audience targeting, and ad measurement solutions. It also allows businesses to track the performance of their ads. The firm hasn’t given its revenue break up across business segments and geographies. On the expense side, cost of sales which includes cloud infrastructure, data and media costs accounted for 63% of the total expense at Rs 233 crore in FY25. Employee benefit expense accounted for 21% of the total expense at Rs 77 crore in FY25. Other expenses such as finance cost, depreciation and other operating expenses contributed another Rs 58 crore.

According to the filings, the firm is projected to cross the Rs 500 crore revenue mark in FY26 while regaining profitability of around Rs 19 crore. While that may yet happen, there is little doubt that digital advertising is facing a moment of truth. Be it AI cutting into page views of sites and apps, or more and more sophisticated ways to skip ads, firms are approaching the medium in a whole new way. Including cutting back when they don't sense a receptive market. At the premium end, e-commerce sites are shaving off significant advertising budgets as well, leaving firms like Silver push with a tough market. Though its focus on video is supposed to insulate it somewhat, the segment does have intense competition that will keep eating away margins. The recent GST cuts might just provide Silver push the fillip it needed to get back into the black, but keep an eye on the growth numbers going forward.

Virat Kohli-backed WROGN faces another tough year with rising losses
Medial

Virat Kohli-backed fashion brand WROGN’s parent company has witnessed another challenging year, with revenue declining and losses mounting further. WROGN’s revenue from operations slipped 9% to Rs 223 crore in FY25 from Rs 245 crore in FY24, according to its annual financial statements filed with the Registrar of Companies. For context, the company had already seen a steep 29% revenue drop in FY24. Founded in 2014 by the brother-sister duo Anjana and Vikram Reddy, WROGN operates in the lifestyle and fashion space, dealing in apparel, footwear, and accessories. Sales of these products remain the firm’s primary source of revenue. The company booked Rs 9 crore as other income from interest on deposits and gains on financial assets, taking its total revenue to Rs 232 crore in FY25, down from Rs 266 crore in FY24. For the fashion brand, procurement of materials accounted for 40% of the total expenditure, amounting to Rs 126 crore in FY25. Employee benefit expenses rose to Rs 39 crore, while the company also ramped up spending on advertising and promotions, which surged 63% year-on-year despite the revenue dip. Overall, WROGN’s total expenses swelled to Rs 313 crore during FY25. The increase in employee and marketing spends pushed the company deeper into losses. Net losses rose by 31.6% to Rs 75 crore in FY25, compared to Rs 57 crore in FY24. As of March 2025, the company’s accumulated losses stood at a staggering Rs 709 crore. Key financial ratios also remained under pressure, with ROCE at -70% and EBITDA margin at -27.5% for FY25. In June 2024, WROGN secured Rs 125 crore (about $15 million) from TMRW House of Brands, part of the Aditya Birla Group, and raised another $9 million in October. With this infusion, the company has raised over $90 million since its inception. WROGN’s sluggish performance also comes at a time when newer fashion labels like Snitch, Bewakoof, The Pant Project, and Rare Rabbit are rapidly scaling and eating into market share. Unlike WROGN, which has largely relied on Virat Kohli’s brand pull, these online-first challengers are leveraging faster design cycles, sharper pricing, and aggressive social media playbooks to win over Gen Z and millennial shoppers. The rise of these brands underlines how quickly consumer preferences are shifting in the mass-premium fashion segment, leaving older players struggling to keep pace.

Legal, professional, and other overheads added another Rs 32.5 crore. Overall, Freecharge’s total expenditure increased 2.2% to Rs 367 crore during the last fiscal year from Rs 359 crore in FY24. With falling revenues and slightly higher costs, the firm lost its profitability and posted a loss of Rs 42 crore in FY25 as compared to a profit of Rs 79 crore in the previous fiscal year. Its ROCE stood at -17.96% and its EBITDA margin declined to -19.2% from 22.7% a year earlier.
