DailRounds competes with Unacademy-owned PrepLadder and Byju’s. PrepLadder’s revenue from operations increased 27.6% to Rs 114.6 crore in FY22 whereas its net loss also jumped 74.9% to Rs 144 crore in the last fiscal year. It eyes net revenue of Rs 200 crore in FY23.
Last year, when we covered the FY22 results of DailyRounds, we had pointed out that costs were likely to remain in check as a lot of course material prep expenses are one time in nature, or slow down in its area of operations. That is exactly what seems to have played out, seeing the firm record a significant jump in margins. Such a strong show positions the firm very well to invest further into newer segments, besides making it a very attractive target for acquisition, as the M3 deal demonstrated. Change in ownership means the likelihood of the firm remaining focused on its core area is higher, resulting in improved margins. DailyRounds seems to have built up a sustainable advantage in its chosen segment of medical education, and the future seems bright.
