Significant Developments Subsequent to the Last Financial Period
In the opinion of the Board of Directors of our Company, since the date of the last financial statements disclosed in this Red Herring Prospectus, there have not arisen any circumstance that materially or adversely affect or are likely to affect the business or profitability of our Company or the value of its assets or its ability to pay its material liabilities within the next twelve months.
Key factors affecting the results of operation:
Our Companys future results of operations could be affected potentially by the following factors:
Several factors can influence the results of operations for a digital business. These factors can be further categorise into Technical, Managerial & Content related and Market dynamics.
Technical Factors:
1. Digital Infrastructure: The robustness digital infrastructure, including website speed, mobile optimization, and server reliability, is crucial. A slow or unreliable site can lead to high bounce rates and loss of audience engagement. We make sure that we have an optimised and stable system in place.
2. Technological Advancements: Staying competitive requires continuous investment in technology. Outdated systems or slow adoption of new tech (like AI-driven technologies, video encoding, mobile-first design etc.) may hamper user experience, resulting in reduced traffic and engagement.
3. Cybersecurity Threats: As digital platforms handle vast amounts of data and content, they are prime targets for cyberattacks. Breaches, DDoS attacks, or hacking can disrupt operations, damage reputation, and lead to financial loss if proper security measures are not in place. We have WordPress VIP, an enterprise solution that mitigate the threats & risks with incorporated DDoS protection, firewall, database and application security and multilevel encrypted backups.
4. Algorithm Changes: Search engine algorithms, such as those used by Google, and platform algorithms (YouTube, social media) frequently change. These shifts can drastically affect traffic to websites, video rankings, and overall discoverability, requiring constant adaptation.
Managerial & Content related:
1. Content Quality and Relevance: The success of any digital platform largely depends on the quality and relevance of its content. If the content doesnt resonate with the audience or keep up with trends, it can lead to lower engagement and viewership across all platforms, impacting growth and revenue. So, we have to be very careful and go with the trend.
2. Skilled Manpower: Continuous training for staff on new technologies and digital strategies is necessary to maintain competitive advantage and operational efficiency in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. We keep on updating and sharing the SOP (system of procedure) based on the new updates from partners and platforms.
3. Audience Behaviour and Preferences: Shifts in audience behaviour such as the move from traditional news to social media, live streaming, or OTT consumption can influence engagement. We must continuously monitor and adapt to these changes to stay relevant and create engaging content.
4. Data Analytics and Insights: Without effective use of data analytics to track user behaviour, traffic patterns, and content performance, its difficult to make informed decisions. We need robust analytics to understand what content works, which platforms are thriving, and where to invest.
Market Dynamics:
1. Competition: The digital media space is highly competitive. The entry of new players or aggressive strategies by existing competitors can affect market share and audience loyalty. We need to innovate and differentiate the content and delivery methods to remain competitive.
2. Monetisation and Ad Revenue: Digital businesses often rely on ad revenue from YouTube, websites, and OTT platforms. Any changes in advertising policies, market rates, or advertiser demand can impact the overall income.
3. Platform Dependency: Reliance on third-party platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and OTT services for content distribution can make the business vulnerable to policy changes or platform disruptions. Any changes to revenue-sharing models, content guidelines, or account suspension can severely affect operations.
4. Regulatory Environment: Compliance with regulations related to data privacy (like GDPR) and advertising standards can impact operational decisions and strategies for monetization through ads or subscriptions.
5. Seasonal Behaviour: Our business is somewhat influenced by seasonal events. For example, traffic increases during major sports events, spikes during elections, and fluctuates based on current affairs. Big releases in the entertainment industry also boost related content. To manage this, we stay updated with trends, plan ahead for scheduled events, and stay prepared to handle unexpected news with our resources and expertise.
Economic conditions in the markets in which we operate
Our results of operations are dependent on the overall economic conditions in the markets in which we operate, including India. Any change in macro-economic conditions in these markets, including changes in interest rates, government policies or taxation and political, economic or other developments could affect our business and results of operations. The Media & Entertainment Industry in India may perform differently and be subject to market and regulatory developments that are dissimilar to the markets in other parts of the world. While stronger macro-economic conditions tend to result into higher demand for our products, weaker macro-economic conditions tend to result into lower demand. Change in demand in the market segments we currently supply or improvement/deterioration in the market or a change in regulations, customs, taxes or other trade barriers or restrictions could affect our operations and financial condition.
Regulatory developments
Our Company is regulated by the Companies Act and some of its activities are subject to supervision and regulation by statutory and regulatory authorities. It is therefore subject to changes in Indian law, as well as to changes in regulation and government policies and accounting principles.
Our investments in technology, new products and distribution channels may not be profitable and may be loss-making
To sustain our competitive advantage, we are dedicated to investing in technology and employee training. Nevertheless, our investments in new products and distribution channels come with significant risks. These initiatives, whether developed internally or through third parties, may not achieve the same level of profitability as our previous ventures and could potentially result in financial losses. They demand considerable financial resources and may divert managements attention from current operations. As a result, these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, operational performance, and financial condition. Despite these risks, we believe that strategic investments in these areas are crucial for driving innovation and opening new opportunities, ultimately positioning us for future success.

**Note: Reason for Drop in the YouTube Revenue is as under:
One of the main reasons for the drop in revenue is the shift in focus towards YouTube Shorts. We made this move to increase the channels reach and gain more subscribers. However, long-form videos generally bring in more money because ads are directly linked to the videos. These videos tend to earn more over time, especially if they keep getting views, as the revenue per 1,000 views (RPM) is usually higher. In comparison, YouTube Shorts earn less because the revenue comes from a shared pool, and ads arent tied directly to individual videos. The RPM for Shorts is much lower. While Shorts can help reach a larger audience quickly, they dont generate as much revenue as long-form content. Now we are changing our strategy to shift to long format videos that will help us to generate good revenue.
Other Income for the FY 2024 and FY 2023 was Rs 41.11 lakhs and Rs 17.90 lakhs respectively.
