Commenting on the results, the company's vice chairman and managing director Siva Ganapthi said this was a year of consolidation of its
acquisitions
.
The company had acquired two companies, UAE based apparel maker Atraco, and the Indian knitwear maker Matrix design during financial year 2024, followed by a strategic investment in BRFL Textiles in June 2024.
Ganapathi said: ''The year marks an important milestone for Gokaldas Exports as it was a period of consolidation of the acquisitions. We reported a healthy growth in total income and profits for the full year as well as the quarter.'
Gokaldas Export's reported EBITDA also improved significantly in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, at Rs 142 crore, which is a 58% jump on Rs 90 crore recorded for the same quarter of the previous FY. The EBITDA margin has also improved 272 bps to 13.7% in Q4FY25 over 11% in Q4FY24.
Ganapathi added: 'There is a considerable amount of effort required to improve the margins further over the next few years as we continue to consolidate and grow the business.'
These results came as a booster for the widely-held company facing uncertainties around the imposition of higher tariff by the US government on all imports.
Ganapathi said: 'As we step into FY2026, the reciprocal tariff imposed by the US poses a formidable challenge by inducing business volatility and margin pressure. The recently concluded
India-UK FTA
, however, presents an opportunity as and when it is implemented.'

World's richest Muslim ever was much wealthier than Mukesh Ambani, Elon Musk, Adani, Tata, went to Mecca with gold worth…, name was...
World's richest Muslim ever was much wealthier than Mukesh Ambani, Elon Musk, Adani, Tata, went to Mecca with gold worth…, name was... With a net worth of Rs $335B, Elon Musk is the richest person according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. This net worth, however, stands in abject comparison with the wealth of a historical figure. Did you know that history speaks of someone whose wealth outshines even today's richest figures like Mukesh Ambani, Elon Musk, Adani, and Tata? Well, the individual was Mansa Musa, the 14th-century emperor of the Mali Empire in West Africa, widely regarded as the richest person to have ever lived. Born in 1280 AD and crowned king in 1312 AD, he is considered to be the richest man to have ever lived. If his net worth is adjusted for inflation, it would be a mind-boggling $400 billion, dwarfing the wealth of today's top billionaires. Mansa Musa's reign made the Mali Empire a cultural and economic behemoth, covering present-day Mali, Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Burkina Faso. The empire was abundant in natural resources, with gold and salt deposits in regions such as Bambuk, Bure, and Wangara creating immense riches. Mali's prime location on the trans-Saharan trade routes established it as a vital commercial nexus, linking Africa with Europe and the Middle East. Mansa Musa's famous pilgrimage to Mecca was so lavish that it caused significant economic disruptions, including inflation, in the areas he traveled through. Lucy Duran, a researcher from the School of African and Oriental Studies in London, emphasizes that Musa's generosity forms a fundamental part of his legacy, showcasing his unwavering commitment to distributing his wealth and aiding others on an extraordinary scale. Mansa Musa was renowned not just for his vast wealth but also for his remarkable generosity. One of the most extraordinary events in his life was his legendary pilgrimage to Mecca, considered one of the most lavish journeys ever recorded. His caravan was unmatched in scale, featuring 100 camels carrying gold, 12,000 attendants, and a procession of 60,000 enslaved people. Historical records estimate that he carried around 18 tonnes of gold—an astonishing amount worth nearly $957 million in 2022. This pilgrimage showcased Musa's incredible riches and firmly established his status as a figure of global importance. As Mansa Musa journeyed through cities like Cairo, his extravagant distribution of gold poured immense wealth into the local economy. However, this sudden surge in currency supply led to unforeseen consequences—triggering inflation and a short-term drop in the value of gold. While his generosity was widely admired, it also underscored the overwhelming magnitude of his fortune and the profound economic ripple effects it created. He is often considered the richest person to have ever lived. It is reported that his wealth surpasses even the richest individuals of today, such as Mukesh Ambani, Elon Musk, Adani, and Tata.
