The Delhi-based company, Mamaearth, experienced a significant increase in operating revenue in FY23, reaching Rs 1,493 crore compared to Rs 943 crore in the previous year.
However, total expenditure also rose to Rs 1,502 crore from Rs 942 crore. Employee benefit cost rose by 109 per cent to Rs 1,649 crore, while other expenses surged by 50 per cent to Rs 8,584 crore.
