Commenting on the results, Anuj Khanna Sohum, the MD and CEO of Affle said:

“Affle continued its outstanding track record to conclude FY2023 as a landmark year having delivered over 5X growth in topline and profitability over the last 5 financial years, with consistent y-o-y growth coming across the quarters.

FY2023 was transformational for Affle as we continued to further enhance our platforms, ecosystem-level partnerships & teams while penetrating deeper across markets. We continued to further verticalize our capabilities towards high-growth industry verticals to drive greater productivity and profitability.

While the global headwinds were challenging, long-term adtech industry tailwinds remain well-grounded anchored on fast-evolving consumer trends accelerated towards adoption of connected devices and immersive technologies. This promises consistent long-term growth in ad-spending globally and our outlook for FY2024 remains optimistic.

We are strongly positioned to leverage these market dynamics while continuing to invest in organic growth as well as invest in credible consolidation opportunities with greater emphasis on bottom-line financial fundamentals and cash flow returns.”
