With operations across India, North America and other markets, it is building a global gaming platform with strong IP and publishing capabilities. On a consolidated basis, Nazara Technologies reported a 305% jump in PAT from continued operations to Rs 56 crore in Q4 FY26, despite a 24% decline in net sales to Rs 398 crore compared with Q4 FY25. The company said the YoY decline in revenue was primarily due to the deconsolidation of Nodwin from August 2025. Adjusted for the Nodwin impact, Q4 FY26 revenue grew 8% YoY.
