The full read
Innovana Thinklabs delivered a strong top line in FY26, with consolidated revenue jumping 27.9%, but the bottom line tells a different story. Net profit attributable to owners dropped 13.6% to ₹38.14 crores, weighed down by heavy digital advertising spend in Astro Services and GST-related headwinds in the Gym & Fitness segment. Standalone profit, which excludes these ventures, rose a steady 8.2% to ₹32.02 crores. The contrast highlights the risk in the company's expansion strategy: revenue growth is real, but it is being bought with margin compression. The next earnings call will likely centre on when these investments start to pay off.
