The glow of growth just slammed into the wall of regulation ⚖️ "Gameskraft crosses ₹4,000 Cr but PAT sinks 25%." 📉 In FY25, Gameskraft raked in ₹3,896 Cr—up 12% 📈. But let’s be real: ₹2,072 Cr blown on ads 💸 (a 58% jump) is less “smart scaling” and more “set fire to cash.” Net profit fell to ₹706 Cr 🪫, partly thanks to a ₹231 Cr CFO fraud fiasco 🚨. Margins? Strong on paper (ROCE 45.7% ⚡, EBITDA 24.9%)—but paper doesn’t survive a policy bonfire. Because August 2025 arrived. One ban. One Act. And suddenly RummyCulture, Pocket52, and “Add Cash” vanished 📴. Overnight, the cash cow turned into a paper tiger. One lyrical truth: it’s easy to brag about topline growth when your entire model depends on a format regulators can erase overnight 🌊. 1️⃣ 99% of revenue tied to real-money play—no Plan B in sight. 2️⃣ Chose compliance over fight—safe, but surrendering control. 3️⃣ Reinvention or irrelevance—casual gaming, ads, or die trying 🚀. The roast? Gameskraft scaled brilliantly, but without reinvention, that ₹4,000 Cr run looks like a high-score nobody can play again 🎮🔥.
