2-Min Summary
IndiaMART reported Q4 FY26 consolidated revenue of ₹404 crore (+14% YoY) and EBITDA margin of 33%. Paying suppliers declined by 1,200 sequentially to 2,20,000, driven by price hike impacts and geopolitical headwinds. Collections grew 10% YoY to ₹595 crore, while deferred revenue rose 17% to ₹1,965 crore. Management acknowledged a potential vicious loop as both supplier additions and buyer activity slow. Silver segment churn worsened to ~7% monthly, while platinum/gold remained healthy. ARPU growth is now the primary revenue driver, but management sees limited near-term catalyst for re-acceleration. Risk: Failure to improve silver retention could prolong low growth.

There is a definitely a worry of falling into the vicious loop because that virtuous cycle where the suppliers were increasing and buyers were increasing... now it has to increase the buyers have to come more frequently and supply side has to become more trustable.
We are not going back on pricing.
Until we fix the supplier growth... I would say that there is enough headroom. 1688.com in China typically has about a million paying sub suppliers.
