Fintrackr Fittr posts flat scale in FY24; losses trims 73% Fitness tech startup Fittr has encountered growth challenges, with its revenue remaining flat over the past three years. However, the losses for the Rainmatter Capital-backed company decreased substantially in the last fiscal year. Fittr’s revenue from operations saw a modest 3% decrease to Rs 85 crore in FY24, from Rs 87.5 crore in FY23, as per its consolidated financial statement sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Founded by Jitendra Chouksey, Sonal Singh, Jyoti Dabas, Rohit Chattopadhyay, and Bala Krishna Reddy, Fittr is a community-based health and online fitness marketplace.

Revenue from fitness and wellness online services contributed the majority at Rs 80 crore, despite a 4.42% decline compared to 83.7 crore in FY23. New revenue streams like smart ring sales added Rs 80 lakh, while academic fees and other income sources contributed Rs 2.8 crore and Rs 1.4 crore, respectively. The company earned an additional Rs 1.3 crore from non-operating revenue which pushed its total revenue to Rs 86.3 crore in FY24. Fittr’s total expenses declined significantly by 26% to Rs 97 crore in FY24 from Rs 131 crore in FY23. The reduction was driven by a 36.2% cut in employee benefits (Rs 20.8 crore), a 65.8% reduction in advertising costs (Rs 8.4 crore), and a 30% decrease in other overheads (Rs 13.5 crore). Expenditure on consultants and study material, the largest cost component, remained stable at Rs 54.3 crore. With the controlled expenses across verticals, Fittr’s losses shrank by 73.5% to Rs 11 crore in FY24 from Rs 41.5 crore in FY23. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at -38.89% and -10.66% respectively. Fittr’s expense-to-earning ratio stood at Rs 1.14. As of March 2024, the firm reported Rs 46.5 crore of current assets including Rs 27.8 crore of cash and bank balance. According to TheKredible, Fittr has secured a total funding of $17 million to date including a $3.5 million round led by Zerodha-backed venture fund Rainmatter.
