Navi Technologies swings to red with Rs 126 Cr loss in FY25
Medial

Navi Technologies swings to red with Rs 126 Cr loss in FY25 Navi Technologies, a fintech unicorn founded by Sachin Bansal, reported steady growth in the fiscal year ending March 2025 but lost profitability during the same period, largely due to a sharp decline in other income and regulatory restrictions on its lending arm. Navi’s revenue from operations grew by 18% year-on-year to Rs 2,565 crore in FY25 from Rs 2,180 crore in FY24, according to its consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC). The company provides personal and home loans, bill payments, insurance, digital gold, and mutual funds. Interest income accounted for 85% of Navi’s total revenue which grew by 21% to Rs 2,178 crore in FY25. Fees, commissions, and other allied services contributed Rs 127 crore, and the firm added an additional Rs 124 crore from non-operating income, taking its total income to Rs 2,689 crore in FY25. The other income declined sharply from Rs 614 crore in FY24, primarily because the company had recorded gains from the sale of a subsidiary in the previous fiscal year. Finance cost remained the largest expense for the lending company, rising 21% to Rs 850 crore in FY25 from Rs 705 crore in FY24. Impairment on financial instruments increased 17% to Rs 578 crore, while employee benefit expenses grew 17% to Rs 546 crore in FY25. However, advertising expenses declined 24% to Rs 198 crore, and IT expenses dropped 11% to Rs 143 crore. Overall, the company’s total expenses rose 10% to Rs 2,730 crore in FY25 from Rs 2,491 crore in FY24. The growing expenses and a sharp fall in other income resulted in a loss for the company for the last fiscal year. Navi posted a loss of Rs 126 crore in FY25, as compared to a loss of Rs 358.5 crore in FY24. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at 8.90% and 28.97% respectively for the period. On a unit basis, the company spent Rs 1.06 to earn a rupee of operating revenue during the fiscal year. Navi recorded cash and bank balances of Rs 1,369 crore, while its current assets stood at Rs 7,811.5 crore in FY25. Navi’s lending operations faced a temporary hurdle in FY25 due to regulatory action. In October 2024, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) instructed Navi Finserv, along with three other NBFCs, to halt the sanctioning and disbursement of new loans due to concerns related to pricing policies and regulatory compliance. The restrictions were lifted in December after the company addressed the deficiencies and implemented revised systems to comply with regulatory guidelines, allowing it to resume lending operations. Navi has raised around $445 million of funding till date, with Gaja Capital as one of its lead investors. Navi competes with the likes of Finnable, Fibe, FamApp, and Paytm among several others.

Financial services platform Navi Finserv has raised Rs 150 crore through the issue of non-convertible debentures (NCDs) from six individual investors including top brass of Dadachanji Group. The board at Navi has passed a special resolution to allot 15,000 non-convertible debentures (NCDs) at an issue price of Rs 1,00,000 per debenture for a consideration of Rs 150 crore, the company’s regulatory filings with the Registrar of Companies show. Kairus Shavak Dadachanji, Pervin Kairus Dadachanji, and Rishad Kairus Dadachanji invested Rs 110 crore while Rohit Kapadia, Sandhya Kapadia and Yash Kapadia cumulatively invested Rs 40 crore in this debt round. Kairus Shavak is a chairman of Dadachanji Group which owns and operates several companies including Kaisha Packaging and Kaisha Lifesciences and Sovereign Pharma. In February, Navi had said that it plans to raise Rs 600 crore through a public issue of NCDs. As per Navi, the NCDs will be offered with maturities of 18 months, 27 months, and 36 months, with yields ranging from 10.47% to 11.19%. The Sachin Bansal-led firm will use the funds towards lending, financing, loan repayments, and general corporate requirements. The Morning Context report highlighted that Navi turned to crowdfunding a Rs 250-crore fundraise as the firm failed to raise equity capital at a desired valuation. Navi has been raising funds through NCDs in the past couple of years. In May 2022, it raised Rs 600 crore and got Rs 500 crore more in July 2023. Navi filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) in March 2022 with SEBI to raise up to Rs 3,350 crore. However, the firm had to delay the IPO plan citing the market conditions even after receiving approval from the market regulator. The firm also laid off nearly 200 employees after delaying the listing plan. Navi recorded Rs 421.5 crore in revenue from operations for the quarter ending September 2023 or Q2 FY24. As per the company’s unaudited financial statement on its website, it posted a profit of Rs 10.86 crore during the quarter.

Importantly, the company reported a loss of over Rs 17 crore in 2025. Marketing technology platform SilverPush couldn’t replicate its FY24 growth momentum in FY25, with revenue posting barely double-digit growth compared to nearly 120% year-on-year growth in the previous fiscal (FY24). Importantly, the company slipped into the red, reporting a loss of over Rs 17 crore in the fiscal year ending March 2025. SilverPush’s revenue increased 11% to Rs 386 crore in FY25, as compared to Rs 347 crore in FY24, according to the company's provisional financial statement reviewed by Entrackr. Silverpush provides AI-powered advertising solutions including contextual advertising, audience targeting, and ad measurement solutions. It also allows businesses to track the performance of their ads. The firm hasn’t given its revenue break up across business segments and geographies. On the expense side, cost of sales which includes cloud infrastructure, data and media costs accounted for 63% of the total expense at Rs 233 crore in FY25. Employee benefit expense accounted for 21% of the total expense at Rs 77 crore in FY25. Other expenses such as finance cost, depreciation and other operating expenses contributed another Rs 58 crore.

According to the filings, the firm is projected to cross the Rs 500 crore revenue mark in FY26 while regaining profitability of around Rs 19 crore. While that may yet happen, there is little doubt that digital advertising is facing a moment of truth. Be it AI cutting into page views of sites and apps, or more and more sophisticated ways to skip ads, firms are approaching the medium in a whole new way. Including cutting back when they don't sense a receptive market. At the premium end, e-commerce sites are shaving off significant advertising budgets as well, leaving firms like Silver push with a tough market. Though its focus on video is supposed to insulate it somewhat, the segment does have intense competition that will keep eating away margins. The recent GST cuts might just provide Silver push the fillip it needed to get back into the black, but keep an eye on the growth numbers going forward.
