Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
Total revenue grew by an extraordinary 8,645% YoY, reaching INR 73.39 Cr (7,338.59 lakhs) in FY25 compared to INR 0.84 Cr (83.92 lakhs) in FY24. While specific segment-wise percentage splits are not provided, growth was driven by the launch of nutraceuticals, herbal pan masala, and the expansion into export markets.
Geographic Revenue Split
The company is diversifying from a purely domestic focus to international markets, notably securing a US $3 million (approx. INR 25.2 Cr) export order from Singapore, which represents roughly 34% of the current annual revenue run rate. Domestic revenue is driven by pan-India distribution and e-commerce platforms like Amazon.
Profitability Margins
Net Profit Margin stood at 5% in FY25, a significant decrease from 98% in FY24. This compression is due to the transition from a low-volume, low-cost operation to a high-scale commercial model with increased marketing, distribution, and raw material costs. Net profit increased 489% in absolute terms to INR 3.37 Cr.
EBITDA Margin
EBITDA Margin was 4.6% in FY25, down from 70.8% in FY24. The sharp decline reflects the high operational costs associated with scaling revenue by over 8,000% and the introduction of mass-market products like INR 10 sachets which carry lower margins than niche offerings.
Capital Expenditure
The company has planned a capital expenditure of INR 30 Cr over the next two years to establish world-class wellness centers. Additionally, it allocated INR 5 Cr (50 million) to a Strategic Growth Division for investments in healthcare startups.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
Not disclosed in available documents; however, the company strengthened its equity base by increasing authorized share capital from INR 3.5 Cr to INR 9 Cr during the period.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Specific raw materials include herbal extracts for pan masala and nutraceutical ingredients for gummies (vitamins, minerals). While exact percentage of total cost is not disclosed, the shift to a 5% net margin suggests raw materials and procurement are now the primary cost drivers.
Import Sources
Not specifically disclosed, but the company operates out of New Delhi and Maharashtra, suggesting primary sourcing from Indian botanical and chemical hubs.
Capacity Expansion
The company is expanding from a product-only model to a service model by launching its own healthcare centers and wellness tourism centers (INR 30 Cr investment) to create a scalable platform for preventive care.
Raw Material Costs
Raw material costs have surged as a percentage of revenue, contributing to the drop in EBITDA margin from 70.8% to 4.6%. The company is utilizing a high-volume, mass-market strategy (INR 10 sachets) to drive penetration.
Manufacturing Efficiency
The company demonstrated the ability to scale revenue by 8,645% within a single fiscal year, indicating a highly scalable outsourced or asset-light manufacturing and distribution model.
Logistics & Distribution
The company utilizes an omni-channel strategy including Amazon for digital reach and a leading distributor in Singapore for international logistics, aiming to reduce internal logistics overhead.

External Factors
Industry Trends
The Indian health and wellness sector is growing at 5% annually. There is a structural shift from reactive treatment to preventive care, which the company is capturing through its new healthcare centers and nutraceutical range.
Competitive Landscape
Competes with established large-scale healthcare infrastructure players and emerging digital-first wellness startups.
Competitive Moat
The moat is built on a 'multi-vertical presence' blending traditional Ayurveda with modern delivery formats (gummies, sachets). This is sustainable due to the high cost for competitors to replicate an omni-channel presence spanning exports, retail, and physical wellness centers.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to Indian GDP growth (6.5% in FY25) and Private Final Consumption Expenditure (PFCE), as wellness products are discretionary consumer goods.
Consumer Behavior
Rising lifestyle-related health issues and a shift toward preventive, affordable healthcare (INR 10 sachets) are driving demand for the company's herbal alternatives.
Geopolitical Risks
Trade uncertainties and geopolitical tensions are noted as headwinds, though the company's entry into Singapore serves as a gateway to Southeast Asia to diversify geographic risk.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are governed by the Companies Act 2013 and SEBI (LODR) Regulations. The company must comply with food and drug standards for its nutraceutical and herbal products in both India and Singapore.
Legal Contingencies
No pending court cases or case values were disclosed in the secretarial or auditor reports provided.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
The primary uncertainty is the sustainability of the 8,645% revenue growth rate and whether the 5% net profit margin can be maintained or improved as marketing costs for new products rise.
Geographic Concentration Risk
While expanding, the company remains heavily dependent on the Indian market and a single major export contract in Singapore.
Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on M/s Cosmos Holdings for Singapore market access and Amazon for digital sales fulfillment.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The company is mitigating tech risks by integrating AI-based diagnostics and telehealth into its new healthcare centers.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
The US $3 million export order introduces counterparty credit risk with Cosmos Holdings Pte Ltd.
