The Whole Truth records 3.3x revenue growth to Rs 216 Cr in FY25
Medial

Fintrackr All Stories The Whole Truth records 3.3x revenue growth to Rs 216 Cr in FY25 The Whole Truth has recorded more than 3X growth in revenue during the fiscal year ending March 2025. While the company significantly expanded its scale, higher operating and marketing costs led to an increase in losses compared to the previous year. The Whole Truth’s revenue from operations surged 232% to Rs 216 crore in FY25 from Rs 65 crore in FY24, according to its financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC). The Whole Truth sells a wide range of products such as protein bars, peanut butter, dark chocolates, energy bars, immunity balls, and muesli. Sale of these products was the sole source of revenue for the company. Including other income, the company’s total income stood at Rs 220 crore in FY25, up from Rs 71 crore a year earlier. Cost of materials consumed remained the largest expense for the food brand which accounted for 53% of the total expense. This cost rose 3.5X to Rs 131 crore in FY25 from Rs 38 crore in FY24. Advertising and marketing expenses more than doubled to Rs 41 crore, accounting for 16.5% of total expenses. Employee benefit expenses rose 114% to Rs 30 crore, while marketplace charges and transportation expenses increased to Rs 9 crore each. Overall, total expense surged 2.6X to Rs 248 crore in FY25 from Rs 96 crore in FY24. The company’s loss increased 17% to Rs 28 crore in FY25 from Rs 24 crore in FY24. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at -14.85% and -13.43% respectively. On a unit basis, The Whole Truth spent Rs 1.15 to earn a rupee in FY25, compared to Rs 1.48 in FY24. As of March 2025, The Whole Truth reported cash and bank balances of Rs 141 crore, nearly doubling from Rs 72 crore in FY24. Its current assets stood at Rs 270 crore in the period. According to TheKredible, The Whole Truth has raised a total of $38 million of funding till date, having Peak XV Partners, Matrix Partners and Sauce as its lead investors. The company is preparing to secure an additional $34 million in its Series D funding round. This development was exclusively reported by Entrackr. While comfortably placed to grow and sustain losses in the process if need be, The Whole Truth has shown a tight control on costs that augurs well for the firm’s next push towards Rs 500 crores and beyond. Operating across multiple food segments with the promise of purity allows the firm to ignore a certain amount of noise otherwise, and focus on the top end for each. While limiting, it should lead to a drop in selling costs as well, especially advertising, as the firm builds a firm position for its quality/purity. The key question is, can the firm grow beyond that before it is forced to find compromises to reach a larger segment of buyers? We believe that is truly the make or break question, which can’t just be answered by higher marketing costs. Competition will come in before the form is profitable, seeking to take a bite out of the more profitable segments The Whole Truth helps identify.

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. Overall, the company’s total expense stood at Rs 368 crore in FY25. Unlike FY24, when the firm posted a profit of Rs 6 crore, SilverPush slipped into the red, recording a loss of Rs 17.6 crore in FY25. Its EBITDA stood at -Rs 9.45 crore with an EBITDA margin of -2.5%. The Gurugram-based company reported current assets worth Rs 175 crore at the end of FY25 (March 2025), including Rs 49 crore in cash and bank balances. 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.
