Total expenses for the company shot up in FY23, with the company spending Rs 1,300.72 crore compared to Rs 892 crore in the previous year. Employee cost-benefit scheme emerged as the biggest expense for the gaming firm this year at Rs 394 crore.

In September this year, the firm said it would be winding down its fantasy gaming division Gamezy to focus on more standalone apps like RummyPrime and LudoCulture. At the time, a spokesperson of the company said that the winding down of Gamezy would not impact its plans to hire or its existing workforce.

Gamezy had previously also been on the radar of tax authorities as it owed nearly Rs 21,000 crore in GST payments, as per media reports. However, the company denied this being a reason for shutting down the division.
