Pratilipi: Restructuring
Pratilipi has undergone strategic portfolio pivot away from digital-first media toward physical books and subscriptions. The Westland Books acquisition (2022) has become the second-largest revenue contributor and is projected to become the single largest by FY27-28. The startup shifted from user acquisition focus to subscriber retention model (90% of revenue from renewals). FY26 revenue expected ~₹188 Cr, with losses narrowed to ₹33-34 Cr in FY25 and company operationally cash-flow positive since mid-2024.
