WinZO Smashes Records with INR 1,055 Cr Revenue and INR 315 Cr Profit in FY24

WinZO, India’s largest interactive entertainment platform, announced its audited financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, reporting record-breaking revenue and profitability despite a dynamic regulatory landscape. It is noteworthy that FY24 reflects only six months of the impact from the 400% increase in GST on online gaming, which came into effect on October 1, 2023. The full-year financial impact of this revised taxation will be seen in FY25.
Key Financial Highlights (FY24 vs FY23):
- Revenue from Operations: INR 1,055 crore (up 70% YoY from INR 619 crore)
- Adjusted Profit After Tax: INR 315 crore (up 151% YoY from INR 125 crore)
While the company acknowledged the impact of the revised 28% GST on gross receipts, applicable from October 1, 2023, it noted that the full financial effect will be reflected in FY25.

- Massive User Base Expansion: WinZO has organically grown to 250 million users, capturing ~40% of India’s online gaming audience.
