Indus Valley, a Chennai kitchenware brand, reported ₹117 crore in revenue for the year ended March 2025 and narrowed its loss to ₹2.5 crore. (indianretailer.com) Revenue rose 61% from ₹72.5 crore in fiscal year 2024, while the company’s core kitchenware business contributed ₹114.5 crore and other income added ₹2.5 crore. (indianretailer.com) Total expenditure increased 51% to ₹119 crore in fiscal year 2025, but the company said its spend per rupee earned improved to ₹1.04 from ₹1.10 a year earlier. Advertising and selling costs rose to ₹51.3 crore, and employee benefit expenses reached ₹11 crore.

The company was founded in 2016 by Jagadeesh Kumar and Madhumitha Uday Kumar. (indianretailer.com) The numbers mark a sharp turn from an earlier phase when growth came with heavier losses. For the year ended March 2023, Entrackr reported revenue of ₹38.81 crore and a loss of ₹8.98 crore. (entrackr.com) The company also raised fresh capital before these fiscal year 2025 results were reported. Entrackr said in December 2024 that Indus Valley had raised ₹23.1 crore in a pre-Series A round led by DSG Ventures at a post-money valuation of about ₹303 crore. (entrackr.com) Direct-to-consumer means a brand sells through its own website, marketplaces or both instead of relying only on wholesale distributors and store chains. That model can grow fast, but marketing and logistics costs often keep profits under pressure. (blume.vc) Blume Ventures’ 2025 Indus Valley report described “Indus Valley” as its name for India’s broader startup ecosystem, spread across cities including Bengaluru, the Delhi National Capital Region, Mumbai and Chennai. Indus Valley’s fiscal year 2025 results add one more data point from that consumer startup market. (blume.vc) For now, the company’s latest filing shows a business that is still loss-making but much closer to break-even than a year earlier. The next question is whether it can keep revenue above ₹100 crore without pushing ad and operating costs back up faster than sales. (indianretailer.com)
