The company completed its largest acquisition, Blue Tile Games, which adds ~INR 1,400 crore revenue and AI-native capabilities, expected to consolidate from Q1 FY27. Management guided for continued organic growth and margin expansion via centers of excellence and AI adoption, with potential divestments of non-core assets like Sportskeeda and Nodwin.
