Earlier in 2024, OK Play India underwent a stock split, changing the nominal value of its shares. On March 11, 2024, each equity share with a face value of Rs 10 was sub-divided into 10 equity shares, each with a face value of Rs 1. This move allowed the company to make its shares more accessible to investors and improved liquidity in the market. Since the stock split, shares of OK Play have delivered multibagger returns, soaring by over 300% in the past three years, from Rs 3.57 to Rs 14.79 per share.

These partnerships highlight OK Play's commitment to quality and safety, with its products adhering to strict safety standards. These alliances not only reinforce the company's market position but also enhance brand visibility.

The company's Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased by 8.82% quarter-over-quarter, but rose 10.2% year-over-year, indicating effective short-term cost management alongside rising operational costs over the year.

OK Play India's ability to generate substantial profit growth amid revenue challenges highlights the company's resilience and strategic focus.
