Profitability Margins
Gross Profit Margin stood at 45.63% in FY25 (INR 3,527.62 Lakh), a slight dip from 46.19% in FY24. Net Profit Margin was 16.02% in FY25 (INR 1,238.78 Lakh) compared to 16.56% in FY24. The slight compression is attributed to reclassification of prior period expenses and the impact of free Corporate Development (CD) calls.

EBITDA Margin was 18.96% in FY25 (INR 1,465.75 Lakh), down 63 bps from 19.59% in FY24. H1 FY26 EBITDA margin further compressed to 16.97% due to higher operational expenses and investment in supply-side capacity.

Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
The primary 'raw material' is 'Fee to Experts' (cost of sales), which accounts for 54.36% of total revenue (INR 4,202.70 Lakh). Employee benefit expenses represent the second largest cost at 22.29% of revenue (INR 1,723.47 Lakh).
Import Sources
Sourced globally through a proprietary network of subject matter experts; specific geographic sourcing percentages for experts are not disclosed.
Key Suppliers
The company utilizes a 100% invitation-based empanelment for its network of independent subject matter experts rather than corporate suppliers.
Capacity Expansion
Current capacity is defined by the expert network size; expansion is focused on 'Managed Training Services' to unlock opportunities in mid-tier and large corporations, aiming to increase the addressable market size multifold.
Raw Material Costs
Cost of Sales (Expert Fees) grew by 50.93% YoY to INR 4,202.70 Lakh in FY25, closely tracking revenue growth of 49.38%, maintaining a stable direct cost structure.

Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate

Market Expansion
Targeting mid-tier and large corporations globally to move beyond niche consulting into broader corporate training and staffing.
Market Share & Ranking
Positioned in the 'premium tier' of the gig economy/B2B human cloud segment; specific market share percentage not disclosed.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The B2B Human Cloud and gig economy are growing as companies shift toward flexible staffing and on-demand expertise. Infollion is positioning itself to capture this by moving from pure consultations to managed services.
Competitive Landscape
Operates in a competitive environment with other expert networks and gig economy platforms; competition is based on expert quality and speed of matching.
Competitive Moat
Moat is built on a proprietary technological framework and a 100% invitation-based expert network, which creates high barriers to entry regarding expert quality and trust. This is sustainable as long as the platform maintains its 'premium tier' reputation.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to corporate spending on consulting and R&D; a slowdown in the global gig economy or B2B hiring would directly impact demand.
Consumer Behavior
Shift toward 'contingent hiring' and 'temporary workforce management' by large corporations seeking to reduce fixed employee costs.
Geopolitical Risks
Regulatory changes in labor laws or gig economy classifications could impact the 'contingent hiring' and 'SOW contracting' business models.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Subject to the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI (LODR) Regulations. Compliance is monitored by an Audit Committee that interacts with Statutory Auditors (Sudesh Kumar & Company).
Environmental Compliance
Not applicable for a service-based research firm; CSR obligation for FY25 was INR 10.25 Lakh.
Taxation Policy Impact
Effective tax rate was 24.5% in FY25 (INR 402.12 Lakh tax on INR 1,640.91 Lakh PBT).
Legal Contingencies
No material fraud or non-material fraud committed by or on the company was reported during the FY25 audit. No long-term contracts with material foreseeable losses were identified.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Revenue concentration risk (high impact if top clients churn) and regulatory changes affecting the gig economy workforce (potential impact on SOW contracting margins).
Geographic Concentration Risk
Not disclosed, but operations are centralized in Gurugram, India.
Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on independent experts; while no single expert is likely a major risk, the collective availability of the network is critical.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Risk of proprietary matching framework becoming outdated; mitigated by ongoing INR 1.51 Cr investment in software development.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Trade Receivables stood at a level resulting in a turnover ratio of 5.40; management noted improved debtor collection cycles in FY25 to aid cash flow.
