Revenues
Total Income
Total Income for the year ended March 31, 2025, stood at Rs. 6,958.04 Lakhs whereas for the year ended March 31, 2024 it stood at Rs 4,324.28 Lakhs representing an increase of 60.91%.
Reason: The increase in the total income of the company is due to a significant increase in key client contracts and prevailing market conditions. These factors have notably impacted our revenue streams and overall financial performance.
Revenue of operations
Net revenue from operations for the year ended March 31, 2025, stood at Rs 6,889.51 Lakhs whereas for the year ended March 31, 2024 it stood at Rs. 4,265.95 Lakhs representing an increase of 61.50%.
Reason: The increase in the Revenue from operations of the company due to the strategy that company opted in FY 2025 by reducing the low margin clients and putting full focus on high margin clients.
(Rupees In Lakhs)
Particulars |
FY 2024-25 | FY 2023-24 | %age Increase |
Export Sales | 1,646.49 | 1,005.58 | 63.74% |
Domestic Sales | 5,243.02 | 3,260.37 | 60.81% |
Total |
6,889.51 | 4,265.95 | 61.50% |
The increase in export revenue was primarily driven by the high-margin nature of our services in Export Service. On the domestic front, sales also increased due to rising demand from larger clients, resulting in higher volumes despite relatively lower margins.
Other Income
Other Income for the year ended March 31, 2025, stood at Rs. 68.53 Lakhs whereas in the Financial Year 2023-24 it stood at Rs. 58.33 Lakhs representing an increase 17.48%.
Reason: The Increase in other income is due to Interest on deposits the company has made with banks.
Expenditure
Total Expenses
Total Expenses for the year ended March 31, 2025 stood at Rs. 5,117.92 Lakhs which is 73.55% of Total Income for the year. For the year ended March 31, 2024 it stood at Rs. 3,202.61 Lakhs which represents 74.06% of Total Income for the year. There is an increase by 59.80% Y-o-Y from year 2024 to 2025.
Cost of Media Traded (COMT)
Cost of Media Traded constitutes of Purchase of Traded Media Services. For the year ending 31st March 2025 the COMT stood at Rs. 3,945.85 Lakhs which represent 56.71% of Total Income for the year. For the year ending 31st March 2024, the COGS stood at Rs. 2,145.28 Lakhs which represents 49.61% of Total Income. There is a total increase of 83.93% over the year.
Reason: The COMT largely concerns the acquisition of traded media services, which directly constitute our revenues from operations under product sales. These comprise third-party costs for the acquisition of media credits, lead generation services, and other external utilities that are vital for the delivery of client campaigns.
In FY 2024 25, the Company undertook several new projects with comparatively lower margins as part of a deliberate effort to drive higher overall revenue. This approach proved effective, resulting in an approximately 1.5x increase in total income over the previous financial year. Consequently, the increase in COMT is proportionate to this revenue growth.
It is noteworthy that, despite the increase in COMT in absolute terms, the Company continues to invest in strengthening its in-house capabilities, including lead generation and media planning. These initiatives are aimed at reducing long-term reliance on external agencies and achieving greater cost efficiency over time.
In conclusion, the increase in COMT is consistent with the companys growth strategy of revenue and the characteristics of projects initiated in the year, and long-term cost-sensitivity efforts continue ongoing through in-house capability building.
Employee benefit expense
The Employee benefit expense for the year ending March 31, 2025, stood at Rs. 481.31 Lakhs whereas in year ending March 31, 2024, it stood at Rs. 420.74 Lakhs representing an increase of 14.40%.
Reason: The rise in employee benefit costs is mainly attributed to the firms strategic initiative of enhancing its in-house strength. In recent years, we have progressively shifted from outsourced freelancers and third-party vendors to assembling exclusive in-house teams for important operational and technical activities. This move is meant to enhance efficiency, guarantee increased control over project management, and minimize long-term reliance on third-party suppliers.
In addition, throughout the year, the company onboarded staff with a focus on client servicing and relationship management. Client relationship strengthening has been an integral component of our growth strategy, and this activity has positively impacted revenue generation through higher client satisfaction and retention.
Collectively, the growth in employee costs is in alignment with the companys long-term strategy of developing sustainable internal talent, improving service quality, and facilitating business growth.
Finance Cost
The Finance Cost for the year ending March 31, 2025, stood at Rs. 19.83 Lakhs whereas in the year ending March 31, 2024 it stood at Rs. 4.89 Lakhs representing a increase of 305.05% from the previous years.
Reason:
The sharp increase in finance cost in FY 2024 25 is largely due to :
Interest on Lease Liability (according to IND AS116) : One of the significant elements of the finance Cost for the current year is interest on lease liabilities accounted for according to IND AS 116. In accordance with the companys growth and expansion strategy, a new corporate office was commissioned in Gurgaon during the year. The lease of this building has been accounted for according to IND AS, resulting in recognition of related interest costs, which were not there in earlier years.
Interest Due to Shortfall of Advance Tax:
Another element of the finance cost is interest payable in respect of the deficit in advance tax paid in the period. This did not previously apply during previous periods and has contributed to the overall finance cost increase.
These expenses are indicative of the companys business development and operational scaling, which are designed to facilitate future growth.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
The Depreciation and Amortization Expenses for the year ending March 31, 2025, stood at Rs. 33.74 Lakhs whereas at the year ending March 31, 2024 it stood at Rs. 11.93 Lakhs representing an increase of 182.93%.
Reason: The primary reason for this sharp increase is the depreciation on Right-of-Use (ROU) assets recognized under IND AS 116, following the lease of a new corporate office in Gurgaon during the year. Depreciation on ROU assets now constitutes approximately 62% of the total depreciation expense for FY 2024 25. This increase is largely due to the accounting treatment prescribed by IND AS, which requires capitalization and subsequent depreciation of leased assets, thereby impacting the companys financials. In prior years, such costs did not exist, hence the significant year-on-year variance.
This reflects the companys continued investment in infrastructure to support business growth and operational expansion.
Other Expenses
The Other Expenses for the year ended March 31, 2025, stood at Rs. 637.19 Lakhs whereas for the year ending March 31, 2024 it stood at Rs. 619.77 Lakhs representing a increase of 2.81%.
Reason: A major decrease in other expenses was observed, primarily due to reductions in Legal & Professional Fees, Traveling & Conveyance, and Printing & Stationery costs. However, this was partially offset by increases in Advertising and Sales Promotion, Commission & Brokerage Expenses, and Office Expenses. The net impact of these changes resulted in an overall increase of 2.81% in other expenses.

Reason: The increase in PAT is due to the following reasons:
a. The company has hired employees to bring certain tasks in-house, which helps save costs by avoiding outsourcing. By having an in-house team, the company can handle performance marketing internally, reducing the need to rely on third-party services for lead generation.
b. The company shifted its strategy from focusing on high-volume, low-margin work to concentrating on high-value work. This involved phasing out low-margin clients and retaining those who provide higher margins, allowing the company to focus on delivering quality work.
