EBITDA Margin
EBITDA margin was 4.55% in FY 2023-24, a 32.4% decrease from 6.73% in the previous year. This margin contraction was driven by rising production costs, employee expenses, and other operational overheads partially offset by revenue growth.

Dependency on creative partners for outsourced content and artistic talent for production.
