The full read
String Metaverse closed FY26 with consolidated revenue of ₹1,069 crore, more than doubling the ₹407 crore it reported a year earlier. Net profit nearly tripled to ₹102.5 crore from ₹35.2 crore, fuelled by gaming software services and high-frequency trading. The auditors signed off clean. The board also disclosed a first-time insider-trading violation by a designated person, which it resolved with a warning. The rationale labels the disclosure inconsequential, but any first regulatory breach is a governance flag worth noting. The core story remains the scale-up: the top line more than doubled in a single year, driven by two specific, high-margin business lines.
