GoBoult Posts Rs 763 Cr Revenue, Profit Shoots up 10X
GoBoult Audio reported FY25 revenue of Rs 763 crore, a 10% increase over the prior year, while its net profit exploded to Rs 24 crore, a ten‑fold jump.

GoBoult remains unfunded, contrasting with venture‑backed rivals like boAt and Noise that faced flat or declining sales. The results highlight a broader shift in India’s wearables market from aggressive scaling to margin protection and sustainable growth.
