    What to watch in Q2 FY27

    PiiX product performance and international rollout

    next 12-18 months
    CurrentInitial signs of successful customer trials in India; negligible revenue contribution.
    TargetIncreased customer adoption, early revenue contribution, and expansion beyond India.

    Why it matters

    PiiX is a new strategic product for the Apple ecosystem, and its successful scaling is key to unlocking a significant market opportunity.

    While PiiX for us is a very new initiative, which we have just launched in last quarter, we have seen initial signs of customers who have tried this product and seen successful results. We believe that Apple's reach in India market, which we believe is 6% is growing to get 8% to 10% in coming years. And that will just increase brands advertising spends on Apple ecosystem. For us, we will start off with India, where we have largest penetration of customers, we will try to see that what kind of initial attractions we are getting.

    Q&A highlights

    8

    “Well, this is because of the reason that we have entered international global footprint with our initial strategy of going to the clients through agency or a reseller model. This is just to begin a small or a medium-term strategy so that we make a good footprint at international level to clients through agency or a reseller model.”

    Addresses a perceived negative trend in client mix, explaining it as a strategic move for international expansion rather than a loss of direct clients.

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Strong Q1 FY27 Financial Performance

    Mobavenue AI Tech Limited delivered robust financial results for Q1 FY27, with revenue from operations growing 56.9% year-on-year and 16.3% sequentially to Rs. 728 million. EBITDA saw a 77% year-on-year increase, reaching Rs. 154 million, and maintaining a healthy margin of 21.2%. Profit after tax (PAT) also surged by 95% year-on-year to INR 117 million, with a PAT margin of 16.1%, reflecting disciplined execution and profitable growth.

    02

    Strategic Evolution and AI-Native Platform

    The company emphasized its evolution from an AI-powered platform to an AI-native ecosystem, marked by a new brand identity unveiled at Times Square. At the core of this transformation is the newly launched Mobavenue Neural Engine, a unified AI intelligence layer that powers the company's A3 framework (Awareness, Acquisition, Activation). This engine processes over 1.3 billion signals daily, making decisions in under 15 milliseconds, and aims to convert advertising spends into measurable outcomes, improving unit economics.

    03

    Global Expansion and New Product Launches

    Mobavenue AI Tech Limited continued its global expansion, commencing operations in the United States, a key scalable market, and launching PrsmX operations in the Philippines, with Singapore serving as a regional gateway. A significant product launch was PiiX, an AI-powered growth intelligence platform specifically designed for the Apple ads ecosystem, complementing its existing SurgeX for Android. These initiatives are expected to be key growth drivers over the next 12 to 18 months.

    Growth Drivers and Market Strategy

    Growth was broad-based, fueled by direct advertiser demand across sectors like Quick Commerce, BFSI, FinTech, and Retail, and by premium omnichannel formats such as connected TV and video streaming. While direct client contribution temporarily decreased to 65.2% due to initial international market entry via agency/reseller models, the long-term strategy remains a direct advertiser approach. The company aims to grow by 30% year-on-year with EBITDA margins of 20% or higher, aligning with its 'Rule of 50' philosophy and 2030 vision.

    05

Capital is prioritized for strengthening the AI stack, international expansion, and platform capabilities, with a disciplined approach to strategic acquisitions.
