Fintrackr All Stories KKR-owned Leap India profit surges 4X in FY24 Logistics solutions startup Leap India recorded a 44% year-on-year revenue growth for the fiscal year ending March 2024. Moreover, the Mumbai-based company's profits surged 4X during the same period. Logistics solutions startup Leap India secured $63 million in funding from KKR in December last year, driven by a 44% year-on-year revenue growth for the fiscal year ending March 2024. Moreover, the Mumbai-based company's profits surged 4X during the same period. Leap India’s revenue from operations grew to Rs 365 crore in FY24 from Rs 253 crore in FY23, its consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies show. Leap India provides supply chain solutions, including equipment pooling, packaging, inventory management, transportation, and maintenance. Serving e-commerce, consumer durables, beverages, and automotive industries, it operates 25 warehouses and 22 manufacturing units. Income from services contributed 95.6% of total revenue, which grew 43.6% to Rs 349 crore in FY24. The remaining revenue came from the sale of pallets and forklifts. The company also earned Rs 7 crore, bringing total income to Rs 372 crore in FY24 from Rs 258 crore in FY23. For an end-to-end supply chain company, the depreciation and finance costs formed 50.5% of the overall expenditure which cumulatively increased to Rs 164 crore in FY24. Its employee benefits grew by 93.8% to Rs 62 crore in the last fiscal year. The legal, freight, travel, and other overheads took the total expenditure up by 31% to Rs 325 crore in FY24 from Rs 248 crore in FY23. The 44% scale and controlled expenditure led KKR-backed firm to spike its profits by 4.1X to Rs 37 crore in FY24, compared to Rs 9 crore in FY23. On a unit level, it spent Rs 0.89 to earn a rupee of opening revenue. Its ROCE and EBITDA margins stood at 8.26% and 56.72% respectively. Last year, private equity firm KKR invested in Leap India, acquiring a majority stake through a mix of primary and secondary investments. That infusion reportedly gave TVS Capital, North Heaven, Mayfield, Morgan Stanley, and other early backers a complete exit. In 2021, Morgan Stanley invested $25 million in the firm. Leap India has raised over $180 million to date and was valued at $600 million. According to the filing, KKR controls around 78.64% stake in Leap India while Sixth Sense, First Bridge, and Madhurima International command 1.38%, 1.19%, and 0.99%, respectively.

LEAP India was reportedly eyeing a Rs 1,000 crore IPO in 2022, but the plans were later delayed after the entity was acquired by KKR. The board of Leap India passed a resolution to change its status to a public company and rename it from “Leap India Private Limited” to “Leap India Limited”, as per its regulatory filing accessed from Registrar of Companies (RoC). In line with regulatory requirements, the company has also appointed Harinarayanan Nair and Sanjiv Gupta as independent directors to strengthen its board and governance structure as it transitions into a listed entity. With over 30 years of experience in the logistics sector, Nair has held key positions at multiple companies including Wipro Pari, Signode, and ITW India.
