“The business continues to scale profitably as has been our stated goal to deliver long term compounding across our five key business verticals. Our diversified business across multiple geographies allows us to have various levers of growth and mitigate industry headwinds affecting any one segment.  

I am happy to note that we have grown 80% YoY in the first 9 months of FY23 backed by profitability and positive cash flows. This performance helps set a strong foundation for our future growth plans.

Particularly in this quarter, it is heartening to see our flagship product for young children “Kiddopia” come back onto a growth path as well as our recent acquisition Datawrkz deliver strong organic growth of around 55% YoY.

I look forward to the continued support of all our stakeholders as we continue to pursue our long standing commitment of Nazara playing a significant role in India’s journey towards becoming a global gaming powerhouse.”
