Pristyn Care’s revenue from operations grew by 32.7% to Rs 601 crore in FY24 from Rs 453 crore in FY23, its consolidated financial statements accessed from the Registrar of Companies show.

Income from the sale of healthcare services accounted for 55.24% of the total operating revenue which stood at Rs 332 crore in FY24. The rest of the revenue came from the sale of medical and healthcare products which surged 2.5X to Rs 267 crore in the previous fiscal. Pristyn Care also added Rs 31 crore in income from (non-operating) activities, which tallied its overall revenue to Rs 632 crore in FY24, as compared to Rs 494 crore in FY23.

By the end of FY24, the Harsimarbir Singh-led company reduced its workforce by 7% as it aims for profitability and prepares for an initial public offering (IPO) in the coming years. The 32% scale and controlled expenditure on advertising and employee benefits helped Pristyn Care to post a flat loss which stood at Rs 381 crore in FY24, as compared to Rs 383 crore in FY23. On a unit level, it spent Rs 1.69 to earn a rupee in FY24. For its surgery business, the company projects a 35% growth in FY25, along with a 60% improvement at the EBITDA level. Pristyn Care also plans to launch an IPO within the next three years. Notably, Pristyn Care achieved this growth without raising external funds in the past three years.

Pristyn Care turns its first hospital profitable within 2 months

Setting a new benchmark in India’s healthcare sector, Pristyn Care has turned its first hospital in South Delhi profitable in less than two months, according to sources. This contrasts with the usual timeline in the healthcare sector, where hospitals generally take between 12 to 24 months to reach break-even. The Gurugram-based firm opened its first super-specialty hospital in South Delhi in February this year. “The hospital reached double-digit profitability within weeks of opening. The hospital currently has the capacity to handle 30% more patients, providing room for further growth while continuing operations,” said one of the sources. Establishing its own hospital infrastructure in the capital is helping the company go deeper into patient care and ensure tighter control over the end-to-end patient journey. This greater control is enabling consistent delivery, stricter adherence to safety protocols, and a more integrated care experience for every patient. Unlike most healthcare institutions where demand is doctor-driven, Pristyn Care has been generating its own patient flow — even while operating out of partner hospital infrastructure. “With its own hospital now operational, the company has seen a 10-point rise in its Net Promoter Score (NPS), reflecting higher patient satisfaction,” said another source. Confirming the development to Entrackr, Dr. Vaibhav Kapoor, co-founder of Pristyn Care, said, “This milestone is a reflection of the trust patients place in us. With our own hospital, we’re able to deliver more consistent, safer, and compassionate care — every single day.” Pristyn Care’s technology platform plays a key role in this progress by managing doctor schedules, patient coordination, and the surgical process. This helps make operations more efficient and improves the overall patient experience. Harsimarbir Singh, co-founder of Pristyn Care, added, "In healthcare, trust is everything. By managing the full care continuum ourselves, we’re earning that trust one patient at a time — and that’s the real success story." As per sources, over 60% of its patient inflow is organic. The company already disclosed its plans to open 50 hospitals across India in the next three years, with new locations in cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Patna, Chandigarh, and Coimbatore. Backed by the likes of Peak XV and Tiger Global, Pristyn Care secured $96 million to attain unicorn status in December 2021. In FY24, the company’s operating revenue grew by 32.7% to Rs 601 crore from Rs 453 crore in FY23. In FY25, it claims to have reduced its EBITDA burn by 60% year-over-year.

Mohalla Tech, the parent entity of the vernacular social media platform ShareChat and short video entertainment app Moj, has registered 33% year-on-year growth during the fiscal year ended March 2024.

ShareChat also added a non-operating income of Rs 29 crore mainly from interest and gain on financial assets which tallied the overall revenue to Rs 747 crore in the last fiscal year.

Sharechat has managed to reduce its employee benefits cost by 17% to Rs 580 crore in FY24. This includes Rs 126 crore as ESOP (non-cash). Its advertising, legal, travel, and other overheads took the overall operating expenses to Rs 1540 crore in FY24 from Rs 3119 crore in FY23. In calculating the overall cost, we have excluded all non-cash components, including interest, provisions, foreign exchange (FX) losses, depreciation, and ESOP expenses for both FY24 and FY23. The 33% growth and controlled server cost helped Mohalla Tech to reduce its adjusted EBITDA losses by 67% to Rs 793 crore in FY24 from Rs 2400 crore in FY23. Notably, the net consolidated losses of the firm stood at Rs 1,898 crore in FY24 down from Rs 5,143 crore in FY23. Backed by the likes of Temasek Holdings, Google, Twitter, The Times Group, Tiger Global, Snap, Lightspeed, and Elevation Capital, ShareChat claims to have more than 325 million monthly active users (MAUs) across all its platforms. Its short video app Moj boasts a monthly active user base of nearly 160 million. The company recently expanded its debt round to $65 million, with a $16 million infusion from Singapore-based EDBI. According to startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, ShareChat has raised around $1.8 billion. However, it saw a major haircut in valuation to less than $2 billion from $5 billion during its last fundraise in June 2022. As part of its mid-year performance cycle, the company also let go of 5% of its workforce in August this year. In 2023, ShareChat implemented several cost-cutting measures and laid off 700 employees across two phases.

Third Wave Coffee’s scale grows 4.5X to Rs 144 Cr in FY23

Coffee chain firm Third Wave Coffee secured $35 million led by homegrown private equity firm Creaegis in September last year. The funding was followed by its notable growth in scale during FY23. Third Wave’s revenue from operations surged 4.5X to Rs 144 crore in the fiscal year ending March 2023 as compared to Rs 32 crore in FY22, its annual financial statements filed with the Registrar of Companies show. Just like StarBucks, Third Wave Coffee offers curated food menus and handpicked coffee, and has over 90 cafes across Hyderabad, Coonoor, Bengaluru, Delhi (NCR), Mumbai, Chandigarh, and Pune. The firm claims to have about 109 stores, of which 50% are operational in Bengaluru. Income from the sale of coffee and food items were the two revenue sources for TWC. The firm also made Rs 2 crore from the interest on bank deposits which took its total income to Rs 147 crore in FY23. For Third Wave Coffee, its employee benefits emerged as the largest cost center accounting for 28.8% of the firm’s overall expenditure. This cost surged 3.8X to Rs 58 crore in FY23 from Rs 15 crore in FY22. Third Wave Coffee’s costs of procurements (coffee and food materials), rent, legal, freight-logistics, marketing, and other overheads took its total expenditure to Rs 201 crore in FY23 from Rs 47 crore in FY22.

Its ROCE and EBITDA margin improved to -38% and -25.9% respectively. On a unit level, TWC spent Rs 1.40 to earn a rupee in FY23. Third Wave has raised over $66 million to date including its $35 million Series C round in September last year. According to the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, WestBridge Capital is the largest external stakeholder with 32.62% followed by Creaegis. As per Fintrackr’s estimates, its enterprise value to revenue multiple is 8.86X as of FY23. FY22-FY23 FY22 FY23 EBITDA Margin -38% -25.9% Expense/₹ of Op Revenue ₹1.47 ₹1.40 ROCE -47% -38% Towards the end of current fiscal year (FY24), Third Wave Coffee went through a tough phase as it laid off more than 100 employees soon after the $35 million fundraise. The company’s chief executive Sushant Goel also moved to a board role and Rajat Luthra, former head of KFC India and Nepal, was appointed as the new CEO. Goel had 7.89% stake in Third Wave Coffee. It competes with Blue Tokai, Sabko Coffee, Rage Coffee, Slay Coffee, Sleepy Owl, and Seven Beans Co., among others. Its closest competitor Blue Tokai registered Rs 129 crore in revenue with Rs 42 crore loss in FY23. While the mushrooming of coffee chains is not a surprise considering the rapid urbanization and aspirational whiffs around these, the sector has an unusual amount of volatility for the hospitality segment. Coffee chains by default seek the premium end of the market, leaving an opportunity for smaller setups to grab share in the lower price points, and perhaps even eventually add lower priced coffee to their offerings. Doing it all with an aura of cool can be a deadly combination for the newer coffee chains, and something they should watch out for.
