Despite this annual dip, the company experienced a robust sequential profit growth of 85%, with profits climbing from INR 76.8 Lakh in H2 FY25 to INR 1.4 Crore in H1 FY26.

Operating revenue demonstrated strength, with a 16% year-on-year increase and a 17% quarter-on-quarter jump, reaching INR 19.2 Crore for H1 FY26. Including other income, the total income stood at INR 19.4 Crore.

The company, which also operates the Womenhood brand, listed on the NSE SME platform via an IPO last year, raising INR 19.5 Crore. Since its listing, Macobs Technologies' shares have performed exceptionally well, more than doubling in value with a surge of over 100% from its IPO listing price of INR 92.
