🎮 Nazara Hits ₹1,624 Cr Revenue in FY25 — But PAT Only ₹62.5 Cr. India’s Gaming Giant or Just Playing Level 1?

📌 At a Glance
Nazara Technologies Ltd (CMP ₹1,270) has just posted its highest-ever revenue at ₹1,624 Cr and record EBITDA of ₹153.5 Cr in FY25. That’s a 9.4% margin — not exactly a cheat code, but impressive for a gaming company juggling offline arcades (Smaaash), kiddie apps (Kiddopia), and global IP (Fusebox). But here’s the catch: PAT was just ₹62.5 Cr — barely a 3.8% net margin. So is Nazara India’s Nvidia of Gaming, or just your neighbourhood cyber café with a better logo?
