Quarterly drop looks concerning but annual growth is impressive! Gaming industry in India is still growing and Nazara has potential. Hope they bounce back next quarter with some new game launches. 🎮

As a small investor, I'm worried about the sequential decline. The management should explain what caused the Rs 9.7 crore loss in discontinued operations. Transparency is key for retail shareholders like us.

️Nazara's annual revenue growth from ₹1,218 crore to ₹1,715 crore is no joke! This shows Indian gaming market is expanding fast. Short-term fluctuations happen, but long-term story looks solid. #DigitalIndia

My kids love Nazara's games but as a parent, I hope they invest more in Indian content. Too much focus on international acquisitions lately. Why not develop more games based on our own culture and stories?

Expenses growing faster than profits is a red flag �. Management needs to control costs better. That said, 95% YoY revenue growth shows the gaming sector is booming in India. Just need better execution.
