अलाभकारी 30초 만에
- अलाभकारी means 'unprofitable' or 'loss-making' in a formal business context.
- It is formed from 'A' (not) + 'Labh' (profit) + 'Kari' (making).
- It is an invariable adjective, meaning its form does not change with gender.
- Commonly used in news and finance to describe failing investments or businesses.
The Hindi word अलाभकारी (alābhakārī) is a sophisticated adjective primarily used in financial, commercial, and professional contexts to describe something that does not yield a profit or is financially detrimental. To understand this word deeply, one must look at its morphological construction. It is composed of three distinct parts: the prefix 'अ-' (a-), which functions as a negator meaning 'not' or 'without'; the root noun 'लाभ' (lābh), which means 'profit' or 'gain'; and the suffix '-कारी' (kārī), which denotes 'making' or 'yielding'. Therefore, etymologically, the word literally translates to 'not-profit-making'.
- Economic Context
- In the world of business, this term is used to identify ventures, investments, or business models that are failing to generate a surplus. If a factory is spending more on electricity and labor than it earns from sales, a consultant would label it as an अलाभकारी उद्यम (unprofitable enterprise).
- Investment Context
- When discussing stocks or real estate, if an asset's value is stagnant or declining while maintenance costs rise, it is deemed अलाभकारी. It implies a lack of return on investment (ROI).
- Distinction from Non-Profit
- It is crucial for learners to distinguish alābhakārī from gair-lābhakārī. While both involve a lack of profit, the latter refers to organizations (NGOs) that are structured by design to not distribute profits, whereas alābhakārī usually describes a commercial failure or an inefficient process.
पुराने मशीनों का उपयोग करना अब कंपनी के लिए अलाभकारी साबित हो रहा है। (Using old machines is now proving to be unprofitable for the company.)
यह निवेश वर्तमान बाजार स्थिति में पूरी तरह से अलाभकारी है। (This investment is completely unprofitable in the current market situation.)
सरकार ने कई अलाभकारी योजनाओं को बंद करने का निर्णय लिया है। (The government has decided to shut down several unprofitable schemes.)
Native speakers use this word when they want to sound precise. For instance, in a board meeting, a director might say that a specific branch is 'alābhakārī' to suggest it needs restructuring or closure. It carries a weight of finality and professional assessment. It is less about the emotion of losing money and more about the clinical observation of a lack of financial growth.
Using अलाभकारी requires an understanding of Hindi adjective placement and its relationship with nouns. Since it is an adjective, it typically precedes the noun it qualifies or follows a linking verb like 'होना' (to be) or 'साबित होना' (to prove to be).
- Attributive Position
- When placed directly before a noun, it modifies the noun's nature.
Example: अलाभकारी सौदा (An unprofitable deal). Here, the word identifies the type of deal before any other action is discussed. - Predicative Position
- When used with the verb 'है' (is) or 'था' (was).
Example: यह व्यापार अलाभकारी है। (This business is unprofitable). This is the most common way to state a fact about a financial situation.
बिना योजना के शुरू किया गया काम अक्सर अलाभकारी रहता है। (Work started without a plan often remains unprofitable.)
One interesting grammatical feature of alābhakārī is that it is an 'invariable' adjective ending in 'ī'. In Hindi, many adjectives ending in 'ī' do not change based on the gender or number of the noun they modify. Whether you are talking about a masculine noun like vyāpār (business) or a feminine noun like saudebāzī (bargaining), the word remains alābhakārī.
उनकी सभी अलाभकारी संपत्तियाँ बेच दी गईं। (All their unprofitable assets were sold.)
It is often paired with the verb sābit honā (to prove to be). This construction is used when an initial hope for profit turns into a realization of loss. For example: 'The project proved to be unprofitable' becomes 'परियोजना अलाभकारी साबित हुई'. Notice how the verb 'huī' changes for the feminine 'pariyojanā', but 'alābhakārī' remains unchanged.
You will encounter अलाभकारी in specific high-register environments. It is not a word usually heard in a casual kitchen conversation or at a grocery store. Instead, look for it in the following places:
- Business News Channels: On channels like CNBC Awaaz or Zee Business, anchors frequently use this term when discussing quarterly reports of companies or the performance of the stock market.
- Financial Newspapers: Read the business section of 'Dainik Jagran' or 'Navbharat Times'. You will see headlines like "अलाभकारी सार्वजनिक उपक्रमों का निजीकरण" (Privatization of unprofitable public sector undertakings).
- Corporate Meetings: In formal settings, managers use this to justify budget cuts. "This department has been unprofitable (alābhakārī) for three years."
- Legal Documents: In contracts regarding the dissolution of a partnership, the unprofitability of the venture is often cited as the cause using this term.
समाचार: बैंक ने अपनी अलाभकारी शाखाओं को बंद करने की घोषणा की है। (News: The bank has announced the closure of its unprofitable branches.)
In a broader socio-economic sense, you might hear economists discussing 'unprofitable agriculture' (अलाभकारी खेती). This is a major topic in Indian politics, referring to how small-scale farming often costs more in seeds and fertilizers than the harvest brings in revenue. In this context, the word carries a tone of systemic concern and policy failure.
Furthermore, in academic settings—such as an MBA classroom in India—the word is used to analyze case studies. Students might debate why a particular strategy became alābhakārī despite a good start. It is a key term for anyone looking to work in the Indian financial sector or government administration.
Even advanced learners and sometimes native speakers can stumble when using अलाभकारी. The most frequent errors involve semantic confusion and register mismatch.
- Confusion with 'Gair-Lābhakārī'
- This is the #1 mistake. Gair-lābhakārī (Non-profit) refers to the intent and structure of an organization (like a charity). Alābhakārī (Unprofitable) refers to the result of an activity (losing money). Calling an NGO 'alābhakārī' might imply it is failing in its mission, rather than being a non-profit entity.
- Overusing in Casual Speech
- If you lose 10 rupees in a small bet with a friend, saying "This was an alābhakārī experience" sounds overly dramatic and robotic. In casual Hindi, use 'नुकसान' (nuksān - loss) or 'घाटा' (ghātā). Use alābhakārī for systemic or significant financial situations.
गलत: यह एनजीओ एक अलाभकारी संस्था है। (Wrong context for Non-profit)
सही: यह एनजीओ एक गैर-लाभकारी संस्था है। (Right context for Non-profit)
Another mistake is trying to pluralize it. Beginners often try to change the ending to 'e' for masculine plurals (e.g., *alābhakāre saude*). Remember: अलाभकारी is an 'ī' ending adjective that remains static. Whether it's one deal or ten deals, the word doesn't change.
Finally, ensure you don't confuse it with hānīkārak. While alābhakārī means 'not making profit', hānīkārak means 'harmful' or 'toxic' (like smoking is hānīkārak). A business can be unprofitable without being 'harmful' in a physical or moral sense.
To enrich your Hindi vocabulary, it is helpful to know the synonyms and related terms for अलाभकारी. Depending on the intensity and the context, you might choose a different word.
- घाटे वाला (Ghāte vālā)
- Usage: More common in retail and small business.
Comparison: While alābhakārī is 'unprofitable', ghāte vālā explicitly means 'in deficit' or 'loss-making'. It sounds slightly more urgent. - नुकसानदेह (Nuksāndeh)
- Usage: General loss or harm.
Comparison: This is a broader term. A decision can be nuksāndeh for your reputation, whereas alābhakārī is almost always about money. - व्यर्थ (Vyarth)
- Usage: In vain or useless.
Comparison: Use this when the effort was pointless. If an investment yielded zero profit but also zero loss, it might be vyarth (a waste of time), but technically it's also alābhakārī.
तुलना: यह एक अलाभकारी नीति है (Formal/Economic) बनाम यह एक बेकार नीति है (Casual/General).
On the opposite side, the antonym is लाभकारी (lābhakārī)—profitable or beneficial. In medical or health contexts, you might hear fāyedāmand (beneficial), but in finance, lābhakārī is the direct counterpart to alābhakārī. Knowing these pairs helps you navigate business discussions with ease.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문No, you should use 'गैर-लाभकारी' (gair-lābhakārī). 'अलाभकारी' implies the organization is failing to make money when it should, whereas an NGO is not supposed to make profit for owners.
It is an invariable adjective, so its form does not change. However, it can modify both masculine and feminine nouns without changing its spelling.
The opposite is 'लाभकारी' (lābhakārī), which means profitable or beneficial.
It is very common in news, business, and formal writing, but rare in everyday casual speech.
The 'bh' is an aspirated 'b'. You should release a puff of air while saying 'b'.
Generally, no. It is used for activities, deals, and businesses. Using it for a person would be confusing or very insulting.
Yes, it is a direct equivalent in a formal register.
Rarely. For health, 'हानिकारक' (harmful) or 'नुकसानदेह' is preferred. 'अलाभकारी' is financial.
Not exactly. A 'useless' machine is 'bekar'. An 'unprofitable' machine costs more to run than it produces, making it 'alabhkari'.
Break it into A + Labh + Kari. Practice writing the 'bh' (भ) carefully.

Summary
The word 'अलाभकारी' (alābhakārī) is your go-to formal term for describing anything that isn't making money. Example: 'पुराना व्यापार अब अलाभकारी हो गया है' (The old business has now become unprofitable).
- अलाभकारी means 'unprofitable' or 'loss-making' in a formal business context.
- It is formed from 'A' (not) + 'Labh' (profit) + 'Kari' (making).
- It is an invariable adjective, meaning its form does not change with gender.
- Commonly used in news and finance to describe failing investments or businesses.
Invariable Ending
Don't change 'i' to 'e' for plural nouns. It's always 'alabhkari'.

Avoid Slang
Don't use this in a market while bargaining; it sounds too formal. Use 'ghata' there.
