Coding Ninjas posts Rs 67 Cr revenue in FY25; losses fall 41%

After posting flat revenue growth during FY24, Info Edge-backed edtech platform Coding Ninjas demonstrated 26.4% year-on-year growth in its operating revenue in the last fiscal year. Significantly, the Gurugram-based company managed to cut its losses by 41% in FY25.

Coding Ninjas’ revenue from operations grew to Rs 67 crore in FY25 from Rs 53 crore in FY24, the company’s annual filing sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) shows.

Founded in 2016 by Ankush Singla, Kannu Mittal, and Dhawal Parate, Coding Ninjas provides online educational and coaching services to engineering students, including training in programming languages such as C++, Java, and Python, as well as other skills such as machine learning, web development, and data science.

Income from online coaching services was the sole source of revenue for Coding Ninjas in the last fiscal year. According to its financial statements, the company expanded its course portfolio during the year through collaborations with premier institutions and universities.

On the cost side, the company managed to cut expenses by 9% in the said period. Its employee benefits decreased by 18.5% to Rs 44 crore, while advertisement and promotion expenses stood steady at Rs 28 crore.

With 26% year-on-year revenue growth, the firm’s losses reduced by 41.2% to Rs 30 crore in FY25 from Rs 51 crore in FY24. However, its accumulated losses over its lifetime reached Rs 151.5 crore in FY25.

According to Entrackr’s analysis of its annual report, the firm had total current assets of only Rs 17 crore, including cash and bank balances of Rs 7.5 crore. Importantly, its total current liabilities exceeded its current assets by Rs 24.7 crore, which could be a cause for concern.

As per the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Info Edge is the only external investor in the company and has poured in around Rs 178 crore (about $22 million) across three funding rounds. In October 2022, Info Edge increased its stake from 26% to 51% in Coding Ninjas with an investment of Rs 135.4 crore ($17 million).

Coding Ninjas competes with platforms like Scaler, Masai School, and Newton School, along with Coding Blocks, GUVI, Udemy, and Coursera. These rivals offer courses for beginners, job-ready bootcamps, and advanced programs.
