Return on Equity (ROE) fell from 7.17% in FY24 to 3.07% in FY25 due to lower operating leverage and higher tech investments.

Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
As a service-based brokerage, the primary 'raw materials' are human capital (452 employees) and digital leads. Employee benefit expenses and technology infrastructure costs are the primary operational drivers.
Import Sources
Not applicable for a real estate brokerage firm.
Key Suppliers
Key partners include real estate developers such as Lodha, Godrej, Prestige, Dosti, Runwal, Hiranandani, Piramal, Raymond, and Mahindra, who provide the inventory for sale.
Capacity Expansion
The company currently employs 452 individuals (69% men, 31% women). It has set a long-term target to facilitate 5,000 home sales annually by FY29, up from current levels (GTV of INR 2,280 Cr in FY25).
Raw Material Costs
Not applicable; however, salesforce expansion and technology investments led to a 77% decline in EBIT in FY25 as the company prioritized long-term capability building over near-term margins.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Operational efficiency is measured by 'closures per agent' and 'lead-to-sale conversions' through CRM optimization. Average ticket size increased 22% YoY to INR 1.3 Cr per unit in FY25.

External Factors
Industry Trends
The Indian real estate market is expected to reach USD 1.04 Trillion, contributing 15.5% to GDP. The industry is shifting toward organized, tech-enabled brokerage platforms to address fragmentation.
Competitive Landscape
Competes with unorganized local brokers and emerging digital platforms. Fragmentation and low awareness of co-broking models in Tier 2/3 cities remain challenges.
Competitive Moat
Moat is built on being the first listed player, providing transparency and scale. The 'mymagnet.io' platform creates a network effect by aggregating smaller brokers into a unified tech ecosystem.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to the real estate cycle and interest rates. A 22% increase in ticket sizes helped offset a 9% decline in transaction volumes in FY25.
Consumer Behavior
Shift toward higher-priced properties; 34% of Mumbai transactions in 2024 were for properties priced above INR 10 million.
Geopolitical Risks
Indo-Pakistan war tensions in early 2025 were explicitly cited as a reason for a temporary INR 4-5 Cr revenue shortfall.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are governed by the Companies Act 2013 and Accounting Standard 9 (Revenue Recognition). The company must comply with RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) norms for brokerage activities.
Environmental Compliance
Not disclosed as a material cost for the brokerage industry.
Taxation Policy Impact
The company reported a tax credit/provision of INR -0.78 Lakhs in H1FY26 due to operating losses. FY25 tax provision was INR 48.47 Lakhs.
Legal Contingencies
No specific pending court cases or values in INR were disclosed in the provided documents.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Market recovery speed and external geopolitical stability. The H1FY26 loss of INR 8.54 Cr highlights the risk of high fixed costs (tech/staff) during revenue soft patches.
Geographic Concentration Risk
High concentration in MMR and Pune; FY25 performance was significantly hampered by localized delays in Bengaluru and Navi Mumbai.
Third Party Dependencies
Highly dependent on developer partners for inventory; a 24% fall in gross bookings was linked to developer-side launch delays.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Risk of competing platforms; company is mitigating this by investing in its own CRM and the mymagnet.io aggregator platform.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Unbilled revenue of INR 15.27 Cr represents a credit risk if developer commissions are delayed or projects are stalled.
