VLCC-owned Ustraa’s revenue declines to Rs 73 Cr in FY25; losses cut by 72%
Medial

VLCC-owned Ustraa continued to face topline pressure in FY25, as it reported a second consecutive year of revenue decline since the acquisition, while aggressive cost rationalisation helped the men’s grooming brand sharply narrow its losses. Ustraa’s revenue from operations fell 22% to Rs 73 crore in FY25 from Rs 94 crore in FY24, according to its financial statements filed with the Registrar of Companies (RoC). The Delhi-based company saw nearly 3% decline in revenue in the previous fiscal year (FY24). Founded in 2015, Ustraa offers products such as fragrances, hair care, face care, and beard care. Following its acquisition, the company's founders, Rahul Anand and Rajat Tuli, continued to work with the brand while also leading VLCC's D2C initiatives. Material cost, its largest expense component, fell 55% to Rs 27 crore in FY25 from Rs 60 crore in FY24. Advertising expenses declined 60% to Rs 9 crore in FY25. Employee benefit expenses reduced 35% to Rs 10 crore, and transportation costs decreased to Rs 7 crore. The company, however, saw its commission payouts grow 36% to Rs 15 crore during the fiscal. Overall, Ustraa’s total expenses dropped 39% to Rs 88 crore in FY25 from Rs 145 crore in FY24. With the company’s expenses contracting more than revenue, Ustraa managed to narrow its losses by 72% to Rs 14 crore in FY25 from Rs 50 crore in FY24. Its EBITDA loss stood at Rs 13.4 crore with an EBITDA margin of -18.36%. On a unit basis, Ustraa spent Rs 1.21 to earn a rupee in FY25, improving from Rs 1.54 in the previous fiscal. The company reported cash and bank balances of Rs 4 crore, while its current assets stood at Rs 30 crore, down from Rs 42 crore in FY24. Ustraa was acquired by personal care brand VLCC through a share swap and secondary buyout in the first quarter of FY24. Following the acquisition, Ustraa’s existing investors including Info Edge, 360 One and Wipro Consumer Care Ventures became stakeholders of VLCC. The brand directly competes with Beardo, The Man Company, and Bombay Shaving Company. Beardo reported a 23.7% rise in revenue to Rs 214 crore in FY25, along with a 3.6X jump in profit after tax (PAT) during the same period. The Man Company and Bombay Shaving Company, which recently raised Rs 136 crore ahead of a potential initial public offering (IPO), are yet to report their FY25 numbers. Notably, all these companies have either become part of a larger group or sold a significant stake to a major corporation.

Cleartrip, Flipkart-owned online travel aggregator (OTA), narrowed its losses by 20% in FY25 on the back of 70% revenue growth, though losses remained high at Rs 651 crore. Flipkart-owned online travel aggregator (OTA) Cleartrip improved its financial performance in the fiscal year ending March 2025, with revenue growing 70% and losses declining 20%. However, the company spent over Rs 600 crore on discounts and cashbacks to achieve this scale. Cleartrip’s net operating revenue surged 70% to Rs 169.3 crore in FY25 from Rs 99.7 crore in FY24, according to its annual filings with the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Cleartrip generated Rs 516.46 crore from service income in FY25, recording a 40% growth over FY24. It also earned Rs 248.38 crore from commissions and incentives, along with Rs 12.7 crore from other operating services. However, heavy discounts and cashbacks of Rs 608.2 crore during the year pulled its net operating revenue down to Rs 169.3 crore. On the cost side, employee benefits were Cleartrip’s largest expense, accounting for 27% of total burn. These costs fell 40% in FY25 from Rs 400.5 crore in FY24. This includes Rs 52.65 crore in non-cash ESOP expenses. Excluding ESOPs, spending on salaries and wages stood at Rs 186.6 crore in the fiscal year ended March 2025. Cleartrip spent Rs 102.16 crore on advertising and marketing in FY25, while commissions and brokerage costs surged over 80% to Rs 128.75 crore from Rs 70 crore in FY24. Finance costs also rose 50% to Rs 143.2 crore, and the company incurred Rs 78.65 crore in payment gateway charges. Other overheads, including outsourcing, IT, and legal and professional services, pushed Cleartrip’s total expenses to Rs 885.8 crore in FY25, down over 10% from Rs 990.7 crore in FY24. The Mumbai-based company’s 70% increase in revenue and control in its expenses led the company to cut its losses by 20% to Rs 651 crore in FY25, compared to Rs 810.3 crore, while its EBITDA margin stood at -334.78%. On a unit basis, it spent Rs 5.23 to earn a rupee of operating revenue in FY25 which improved from around Rs 10 in FY24. As of March 2025, the company’s current assets stood at Rs 709.8 crore, including cash and bank balances of Rs 71.6 crore. Cleartrip has become somewhat of an oddity in the Flipkart stable. Flipkart, which made almost Rs 6,400 crores from advertising in FY25, has not really done much with the OTA other than slap it on as a travel offering. But at these margins, does it even make sense? Would Flipkart be better off renting out the space to some other independent travel operator?
