What revenue threshold is required for the company to deliver positive EBITDA without reducing those investments? <strong>A<\/strong>: Excluding the investment, the EBITDA would have been around INR 18 crores. The margin improvement is a combination of revenue growth and cost reduction. The mix of revenue is also important, as not all revenues come at similar margins. Therefore, it&#8217;s difficult to pinpoint a specific revenue threshold for positive EBITDA.<!-- HTML_TAG_END -->  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START --><strong>Q<\/strong>: How much of the content library remains commercially under-monetized, and what incremental monetization levels do you expect? <strong>A<\/strong>: The content library is fully utilized, generating approximately 9 billion views for the quarter.
