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.
