Medial

Fintech firm BharatPe has demonstrated remarkable growth over the past three fiscal years, with revenue increasing from Rs 119 crore in FY21 to Rs 1,426 crore in the fiscal year ending March 2024. In its consolidated annual report for FY24, BharatPe claimed a 39% year-on-year revenue increase, rising from Rs 1,029 crore in FY23 to Rs 1,426 crore in FY24. Additionally, the company made significant progress in reducing losses, with consolidated losses dropping by 50% to Rs 474 crore in FY24, down from Rs 941 crore in FY23. According to the press release, BharatPe’s average merchant lending portfolio, generated from loans facilitated through its platform, grew by 40% year-on-year in the last fiscal year. The company also achieved positive EBITDA in October of this year. “We considerably slashed our cash burn in FY24 and are on track to build a sustainable and profitable business. Over the last year, we have been able to partner with renowned financial institutions to extend credit access to merchants, which is a great validation for our business. Going forward, we will focus on growing our lending vertical, launching new offerings across POS, soundbox, and scaling our consumer vertical,” said Nalin Negi, CEO of BharatPe. In addition to reducing losses, BharatPe has diversified into new categories to drive business growth. Recently, the company rebranded its PostPe app to BharatPe, marking its entry into the consumer payments space. This strategic move places BharatPe in direct competition with industry giants like PhonePe, Google Pay, and Paytm in the peer-to-peer (P2P) payments ecosystem. The fintech unicorn has also ventured into secured lending for its merchant partners. Through partnerships with OTO Capital and Vol Money, BharatPe now facilitates two-wheeler loans and loans against mutual funds, respectively. Additionally, BharatPe has resolved its longstanding dispute with former co-founder and managing director Ashneer Grover.

BharatPe claims that it recorded 182% increase in revenue from operations in FY23 and clocked October 2023 as the first EBITDA positive month under Negi leadership. Nalin Negi joined BharatPe in 2022 and in his new role he will focus on leading the next phase of development, driving innovation to empower merchants across the country, as per the statement.

BharatPe has been going through transformation to strengthen the leadership team across three verticals. The firm recently reshuffled its three verticals- Resilient Innovations Private Limited (merchant app), Resilient Payments Private Limited (Payment unit), and Resilient Digi Services Private Limited (lending unit). Entrackr exclusively reported the development last week. BharatPe completed its $100 million debt round from InnoVen Capital and Credit Saison. Entrackr exclusively reported this in January. Financially, BharatPe also seems to be getting back on track as the firm claimed that its annualized revenue crossed Rs 1,500 crore, marking over 30% growth as compared to FY23.
