boAt Parent Imagine Marketing Swings to ₹60 Crore Profit in FY25 After Two Years of Losses

Mumbai, 7 October 2025: Imagine Marketing Ltd, the parent company of the popular audio and wearables brand boAt, has achieved a strong financial turnaround, reporting a consolidated net profit of ₹60 crore in FY25. This marks a significant recovery from losses of ₹79.7 crore in FY24 and ₹129.5 crore in FY23, signalling a robust operational revival ahead of its planned initial public offering (IPO).

Consolidated Revenue Surpasses ₹3,000 Crore on Strong Audio and Wearables Growth

Imagine Marketing posted consolidated revenue of ₹3,097.8 crore in FY25, driven by its sustained leadership in India’s audio accessories market, strategic expansion into wearables, and traction in emerging business segments. Standalone revenue was reported at ₹3,089.6 crore, with a net profit of ₹64.2 crore, reflecting strong operational efficiency and disciplined cost management. The rebound underscores the company’s ability to capitalise on both market demand and product innovation.

Category Leadership and Innovation Fuel Profitable Turnaround

The company credited its return to profitability to its market leadership, product innovation, and rigorous cost controls. boAt retained a strong double-digit share in India’s personal audio segment, while its premium sub-brand, ‘Nirvana by boAt’, contributed significantly to revenue growth. Over 100 new products were launched across categories, strengthening its portfolio and enhancing consumer engagement. CEO Gaurav Nayyar stated that these initiatives have “laid the foundation for long-term sustainable growth,” highlighting a clear link between innovation and financial recovery.

Strategic International Expansion Bolsters Revenue Trajectory

In FY25, boAt also extended its global footprint, gaining strong traction in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets. This international push, coupled with domestic category dominance, has provided a diversified revenue base and mitigated risks associated with reliance on a single market. The combined effect of domestic and international growth has been central to the company’s return to profitability.

IPO Plans Advance Following SEBI Approval

Imagine Marketing filed its draft papers with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) in April 2025 for an estimated ₹2,000 crore IPO, receiving regulatory approval in August. The company utilised the confidential pre-filing route, allowing draft details to remain private until closer to the listing. The positive FY25 performance strengthens the company’s positioning ahead of its public market debut.

Imagine Marketing’s FY25 results demonstrate the critical role of strategic product diversification, market leadership, and disciplined cost management in reversing financial losses. The company’s balanced growth between domestic and international markets provides a strong foundation for sustainable operations and long-term brand expansion.
