SIGNIFICANT EVENTS: 2024-25

In fiscal year 2024 25, OnMobile embarked on an exciting new chapter of growth, driven by a gaming-first strategy and continuous innovation in technology. Our mobile gaming business continued its growth with an active subscriber base surpassing 10 million users across the globe. A key highlight of the year was the genesis of The Gaming Platform, a single destination for all Gaming services, opening new possibilities through monetisation models beyond subscription, such as Platform Licensing and In-App purchases. With this addition to our gaming portfolio, OnMobile is well-positioned to be a global leader at the intersection of gaming, entertainment, and next-generation technology.

The Gaming Platform (TGP)

Recognising the broader potential of ONMOs foundational strengths, such as single sign-on, seamless UX, and an engaging gameplay loop, we developed The Gaming Platform (TGP). Designed as a modular, enterprise-grade solution, TGP extends ONMOs capabilities into a unified, telco-branded destination for casual games, cloud gaming, and esports within the telco ecosystem.

Looking ahead, TGP is set to evolve into a Telco-Led Interactive App Store, expanding beyond gaming into music, video, loyalty programs, cloud-streamed content, and everyday lifestyle experiences. This is more than a product evolution; its a platform strategy that delivers scalable innovation, new monetisation models, and sustained user engagement. TGP is now a key pillar of our vision to enable next-generation digital ecosystems for global telecom partners.

Challenges Arena

In FY25, Challenges Arena reinforced its leadership in telco gaming by addressing growing user expectations for quality, convenience and value. The platform successfully expanded its footprint to 78 telecom operators, engaging over 6.61 million active users globally in 18+ languages. To deepen player engagement, personalised real-time push notifications were deployed, significantly improving user retention and re-engagement. New features, such as the winner ticker and winner popups, were introduced to elevate the sense of achievement and in-game excitement. Additionally, the launch of an auto-replay feature contributed to a 30% increase in gameplay sessions, enhancing the overall player experience. We enhanced the ad-centric model of Challenges Arena to unlock new revenue. By reducing visible ads and prioritising quality placements during natural gameplay breaks, we created a cleaner, more immersive experience that balances user engagement with sustainable monetisation.

ONMO

ONMOs momentum continued to build over the past year and is now live with 41 telecom operators worldwide and engaging over 4 million active users. This rapid growth highlights both the products universal appeal and our ability to deliver compelling digital experiences across diverse markets. ONMOs content library received a major upgrade this year, with high-quality, addictive titles that quickly became fan favourites across markets, significantly boosting user engagement and satisfaction.

On the tech front, we overhauled our backend infrastructure to meet the growing scale and performance demands of modern gaming. By unifying the platform across telecom partners into a single system, weve enabled a shared gaming ecosystem where users can now compete, socialise and climb leaderboards across networks, creating a more connected and competitive experience. In parallel, we also optimised our streaming stack, enhancing storage and delivery efficiency. These upgrades significantly reduced infrastructure costs and improved response times, all without compromising reliability or scalability.

Tones

Tones remained a key pillar of innovation at OnMobile. Our subscription model has proven resilient amid regulatory and market changes, maintaining a strong base of 58 million users across 31 operators.

One of the major highlights was the in-house development and rapid deployment of an IMS Network Application Server (IMS-AS) within just one year. Beyond enhancing delivery for existing RBT users, IMS-AS establishes a solid foundation for future innovations in personalised and enriched calling experiences.

In a strategic expansion move, we re-entered the LATAM market with the successful go-live of the service for a major telco in Mexico, strengthening our regional presence and commitment to delivering value-driven mobile solutions. To meet renewed interest from small and mid-sized telecom operators globally, we are developing a lightweight, multi-tenant, cloud-native RBT platform designed to optimise cost and improve service agility.

Videos & Infotainment

We expanded our Infotainment business with the successful launch of a single-vendor platform designed for end-to-end VAS aggregation and management, with a leading telecom operator in Asia. This platform centralises the onboarding, delivery, and monitoring of all VAS services and content partners for the operator.

In addition, for one of our major existing customers, we introduced new monetisation models, including ad-supported formats and bundled offerings designed to enhance customer satisfaction and maximise lifetime value. To further reinforce service integrity and address key customer concerns, we deployed advanced anti-fraud mechanisms, strengthening trust, transparency, and overall platform reliability.

Buzzmo

As enterprise demands continue to shift toward real-time, personalised engagement, telecom operators are seeking to enhance their communication stacks with smarter, more interactive capabilities. In response to this, we transformed our Enterprise Connect solution into Buzzmo, expanding its core architecture to include robust omnichannel support, an intuitive campaign builder, multi-modal conversation capabilities, and more. Buzzmo enables telcos to meet the personalised, high-impact communication needs of their enterprise clients. We also completed the strategic integration of Buzzmo with Gamize, creating a differentiated suite of gamified acquisition and engagement solutions. In FY25 alone, Buzzmo facilitated over 5 billion unique engagement transactions, solidifying its role as a powerful growth engine for the telco enterprise business.

Gamize

The gamification platform, designed to drive user engagement and loyalty, reported stable performance in FY25. The platform recorded a daily user engagement of approximately 1.26 million users. During the year, 372 gamification campaigns were created, covering a range of use cases such as customer retention, reward programs, and promotional activities. Over 15.65 million rewards were claimed by users during the year, reflecting sustained platform offers low-code and no- engagement. Gamize code tools for businesses to integrate gamified experiences within their digital channels, with a focus on improving user interactions and strengthening brand loyalty.

Great Place To Work

We are proud to have been re-certified as a Great Place to Work® for the second consecutive year. This serves as an acknowledgement of the inclusive, collaborative, and trust-driven culture we continue to nurture. Assessed against global benchmarks across key dimensions such as Credibility, Fairness, and Inclusion, the certification reaffirms what we value most: our people are at the heart of what makes OnMobile a truly great place to work.

Awards

Our proprietary AI/ML-driven automation platform, OARM (OnMobile Automation and Release Management), was honoured with the Best AI & ML-Based Automation Tool award at the 5th Edition of the DevOps Conclave. Fully developed in-house, OARM has been a cornerstone in transforming DevOps at OnMobile.

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY

Over the past year, we undertook multiple strategic initiatives to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and build a strong foundation for future profitability.

In our gaming business, we optimised digital marketing spend by refining the channel mix, shifting from ad networks to Google Ads, and focusing on scaling high-margin accounts while exercising judicious spending on new accounts. These measures delivered a 10% approximate reduction in marketing costs from Q4FY24 to Q4FY25. We also re-architected our backend systems to deliver the scale, performance, and flexibility required by modern gaming offerings,unifying previously separate systems into a single platform capable of serving millions of users globally across multiple games and partner offerings. Through these backend optimisations and architectural refinements, we achieved around a 25% reduction in infrastructure costs and improved average response times by over 40%, without compromising reliability or scalability.

Focusing on quality over quantity in content and using ROI as the key benchmark, we optimised costs across gaming, tones, videos, and infotainmentbybundlingofferingsand renegotiating with content partners. While this resulted in a modest reduction in content costs in FY25, the full-year impact is expected to contribute to higher margins in FY26. Across our engineering function, we scaled Automation and AI adoption to boost productivity and operational resilience. Our proprietary platform, OARM (OnMobile Automation and Release Management), reached 92% rollout coverage, automating deployments, migrations, and maintenance workflows, which accelerated time-to-go-live, streamlined updates, and reduced deployment risk. Recognised at the 5 th Edition of the DevOps Conclave in Bangalore as the Best Machine Learning Based Automation Tool, OARM was complemented by an AI-based anomaly detection system that enhances predictive incident management and reduces mean time to detect. Additionally, we integrated AI-assisted development tools for code generation, documentation, refactoring, and test automation, delivering 20 to 35% productivity gains in routine tasks and up to 70% in specialised stack porting, while actively managing risks related to code quality, security, and over-reliance on AI outputs.

During the year, we also improved sales efficiency by implementing a centralised CRM system to streamline lead management, track opportunities, and strengthen customer engagement. The platform provides real-time visibility into the sales pipeline, enabling faster response times, better follow-ups, and improved conversion potential, while creating a scalable foundation for managing a larger pipeline and enhancing collaboration.

Collectively, the optimisation of marketing, infrastructure,thefinancialpositionoftheCompany. and content costs, coupled with our automation-led engineering transformation and enhanced sales efficiency, has significantly lowered our cost base, improved operational scalability, and increased organisational agility.

The resulting efficiency gains also enabled us to streamline headcount from 449 in FY24 to 350 in FY25. Together, these initiatives position us to translate efficiency improvements into higher margins and profitable growth in the coming year, while continuing to invest in automation, AI innovation, product scalability, and engineering excellence.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Developer Platform

We designed and launched a new platform experience that empowers game developers and publishers to bring their games to users faster, with fewer barriers and broader reach. This cloud-powered system allows developers to distribute their games using a single smart link that works across mobile devices, browsers, and apps, eliminating the need for complex packaging, app store submissions, or heavy installs.

To enhance game discovery, we introduced interactive gameplay previews that let users instantly try engaging moments from a game. This creates a powerful entry point from promotional campaigns into the whole game experience, improving player conversion and retention. A streamlined developer interface enables easy onboarding, centralised visibility into game performance, and simplified control over game updates. Together, these efforts reduce time-to-market for developers and unlock new ways to acquire and engage users.

Social Features & Livestreaming

This year, we evolved our gaming experience into a connected ecosystem where players across regions and networks can watch and engage with each other in real time. Livestreaming is no longer siloed, and users can now view live gameplay sessions across all supported telcos, enabling greater visibility and fostering a unified gaming community.

We also extended real-time control sharing to work seamlessly across telcos and geographies. Players can now pass control of an ongoing session to others, regardless of network or region, allowing for collaborative and assistive play across previously disconnected user groups.

These enhancements have helped increase the visibility of engaging gameplay streams by over 2x, creating more opportunities for discovery and participation.

Premium News & Magazine Aggregator Platform

We also identified a market gap through close collaboration with leading telcos in developed markets, centred on the fragmented content experience spread across multiple apps, logins, and costly premium sources. To address this, we developed a unified premium content hub that integrates directly into telco customer touchpoints, giving millions of subscribers frictionless access to premium and personalised content. The platform offers one subscription for premium news from hundreds of newspapers, an extensive eNewspaper and eMagazine catalogue, live news and sports scores, AI-driven personalised feeds, localised news streams, and multi-format content including video, audio, curated newsletters, and podcasts, all within a single, beautifully designed interface that helps telcos boost engagement, reduce churn, and create new subscription revenue streams.

Native Apps

As part of our effort to extend platform reach, we developed a way to deliver native-like apps across mobile and TV platforms using our existing web-based technology. This gives us the ability to launch full-featured applications on Android, iOS, and Smart TVs with minimal additional effort.

These apps retain the responsive design and dynamic content of our core platform, while offering specific enhancements such as deep linking, offline behaviour, and better integration with device features.

This approach has reduced the time and effort required to support new device ecosystems by nearly 60% while maintaining consistency across platforms.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The Board of directors, pursuant to recommendation of the Nomination and Compensation Committee, dissolved the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee w.e.f May 14, 2024 considering the CSR spent was less than the threshold of 50 lakhs stipulated under Section 135(9) of the Companies Act, 2013 in FY24 and FY25. Hence, functions of CSR Committee shall be discharged by the Board of Directors for the time being.

OnMobile currently supports Sankara Eye Foundation, India, which works in the space of eliminating curable blindness, and VAANI, which works in the space of communication and enablement of hearing-impaired kids in remote parts of Karnataka. In the fourth year of our partnership with Sankara, we supported in setting up Antares + Corneal Topographer at Sankara Eye Hospital, Ludhiana. This will be used in approximately 2500 free surgeries every year. We are happy to support Sankara Eye Foundation in setting up Antares + Corneal Topographer at Sankara Eye Hospital, Ludhiana. VAANI, while continuing their awareness, education and detection programs in Tumkur, started a dedicated Teacher Training Program to sensitize Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan faculties on how to cater to children with hearing impairment.
