These expenses surged 73.2% to Rs 317 crore in FY24. Oxyzo’s employee benefits also saw a growth of 48.7% during FY24. The firm’s burn on legal cum professional, advertising, technology, and other overheads pushed its total expenditure up by 66.3% to Rs 514 crore in FY24 from Rs 309 crore in FY23.

On a unit level, it spent Rs 0.57 to earn a rupee in FY24.

In addition to scaling its balance sheet, the company will continue to invest and grow its debt capital markets platforms for its enterprise clients.

It’s the kind of virtuous cycle that investors love, and it should be no surprise to see a spike in valuations here soon.
