Tata 1mg, the digital healthcare platform backed by Tata Digital, continued its growth trajectory in the fiscal year ending March 2025 while straining its losses. Tata 1mgโ€™s consolidated revenue rose 22% to Rs 2,392 crore in FY25 from Rs 1,968 crore in FY24, according to Tata Sonsโ€™ Annual Report for the fiscal year. Tata 1mg is a health tech startup for online orders of allopathic, ayurvedic, homeopathic medicines, vitamins, nutrition supplements, and other health products, delivered to the home. 1mgโ€™s revenue was split across two entities: Tata 1mg Technologies, which clocked Rs 2,016.5 crore, and Tata 1mg Healthcare Solutions, which contributed Rs 375.5 crore in FY25. The company's total cost rose by 17% to Rs 2682 crore in FY25, up from Rs 2303 crore in FY24. The Gurugram-based company posted a consolidated loss of Rs 276 crore in FY25, 12% lower than the Rs 313 crore loss reported in FY24. On a unit basis, the company spent Rs 1.12 to earn a rupee of operating revenue in FY25. On the asset side, Tata 1mg reported total assets of Rs 2,025 crore at the end of FY25 while its total liabilities reached Rs 1,190 crore. In the e-health space, Tata 1mg competes with Reliance-backed Netmeds, PharmEasy, and Apollo 24/7. Tata Digital acquired a 55% stake in 1mg in June 2021 but has since gained around 8.5% additional stake in the e-medicine platform. According to TheKredible, Tata Digital currently holds a 63.5% stake in 1mg, which was last valued at 1.25 billion. Tata Digital reported a standalone revenue of Rs 546.9 crore and a loss of Rs 827.5 crore in FY25, indicating continued investment in its digital commerce bets including 1mg and other verticals such as BigBasket, Cult.fit, and the recently launched Tata Neu.

Tata 1mg chased growth during FY22 and FY23 and its collection spiked over two-fold in both fiscal years. But the company appears to have prioritized the bottom line in the fiscal year ending March 2024. As a result, its revenue grew by only 21%, and at the same time it cut down losses by 75% in FY24. Tata 1mgโ€™s revenue from operations increased to Rs 1,968 crore in FY24 from Rs 1,627 crore in FY23, its consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) show. Income from the sale of medicines formed 81.3% of Tata 1mgโ€™s total revenue which increased 24% to Rs 1,599 crore in FY24. Lab test fees, patient support programme, advertising, shipping, were other revenue drivers for the Gurugram-based firm. The Prashant Tandon-led company also earned Rs 23 crore from interest, gain of financial assets, and other miscellaneous avenues which pushed its total income to Rs 1,991 crore in FY24. See TheKredible for the detailed revenue breakup. Since 1mg operates with inventory, the cost of procurement of medicines accounted for 56% of the overall expenditure. This cost grew by just 8.5% to Rs 1,289 crore in FY24. Tata 1mgโ€™s spends on employee benefits, information technology, legal, advertising, commissions, packaging, fulfillment, and other overheads took its total cost up by 20.4% to Rs 2303 crore in FY24. Head to TheKredible for the complete expense breakdown. The decent scale and controlled cost helped Tata 1mg to reduce losses by 75% to Rs 313 crore in FY24 from Rs 1,255 crore in FY23. Its EBITDA margin stood at -10.85% in FY24. On a unit level, Tata 1mg spent Rs 1.17 to earn a rupee in the previous fiscal year. Cevat: The primary reason for the substantial losses in FY23 was the FVTPL cost (non-cash in nature), which amounted to Rs 668 crore. Tata Digital acquired a 55% stake in 1mg in June 2021 but since then it gained around 8.5% additional stake in the e-medicine platform. According to TheKredible, Tata Digital currently holds a 63.5% stake in 1mg which was last valued at 1.25 billion. As per Fintrackrโ€™s estimates, its enterprise value to revenue multiple stood at 4.87X. FY23-FY24 FY23 FY24 EBITDA Margin -71.66% -10.85% Expense/โ‚น of Op Revenue โ‚น1.78 โ‚น1.17 ROCE -341.99 NA While the focus on bottomline is understandable as part of a large umbrella like the Tata Group, where freedom is proportional to financial performance,Tata 1mgโ€™s cost control measures have another reason. It is probably no longer worthwhile to acquire customers at a high cost where customers have basically flunked the loyalty test. That has made most e-commerce players a lot more reticent about indiscriminate discounting and the likes in favor of much more data led, targeted campaigns. Of course, with a turkey as large as Tata Neu around, one would expect Tata 1mg to get a lot more leeway however.
