Ranveer Allahbadia’s Monk-E nears Rs 100 Cr revenue in FY24, profit jumps 59% Monk Entertainment, co-founded by YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia (BeerBiceps) and Viraj Seth, has capitalized on this trend, generating Rs 100 crore in revenue in the last fiscal year. Monk Entertainment’s revenue from operations recorded a modest 2.2% growth to Rs 97.8 crore in FY24 from Rs 95.8 crore in FY23, its annual financial statements filed with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) show. Monk-E, a full-stack creative digital media agency, specializes in talent management, video production, social media management, and influencer marketing. In FY24, the company generated 86.6% of its revenue from India, with the rest coming from international markets. On the cost side, influencer marketing charges made up 84% of the total expenses, though the cost dipped 2% year-on-year to Rs 77.4 crore in FY24 from Rs 79 crore in FY23. Meanwhile, employee benefit expenses grew 38% to Rs 7.7 crore during the same period. Out of the total influencer marketing charges, Allahbadia and his venture BeerBiceps Media received Rs 7.77 crore for providing technical services to Monk-E. Commission, legal fees, rent, advertising, and other overheads pushed Monk-E's total costs to Rs 92 crore in FY24. Monk-E recorded a 58.9% year-on-year profit increase, with profits rising to Rs 7.23 crore in FY24 from Rs 4.55 crore in FY23. Its ROCE stood at 35.4%, while the EBITDA margin reached 7.86%. On a unit level, the company spent Re 0.94 to earn a rupee. By the end of FY24, Monk-E's total current assets were reported at Rs 28.46 crore, including Rs 5.5 crore in cash and bank balances. While it's probably too early to speculate about the impact on the firm from Allahbadia’s recent controversy, the scale of Monk-E shows how much is at stake. It is crucial for viewers to apply better discretion before believing everything they see and hear from these new-age channels.
