Medial

Document infrastructure platform Leegality maintained its growth trajectory in the fiscal year ending March 2024. After achieving 100% revenue growth in FY23, the IIFL Fintech Fund-backed company reported an 87% spike in scale in the latest fiscal year. Leegality’s revenue from operations jumped to Rs 62 crore in FY24, as per its financial statement filed with the Registrar of Companies. Leegality enables businesses to digitally transform document logistics, eliminating physical paperwork in the lending ecosystem by providing digital infrastructure, including eSign and eStamping solutions. The sale of these services was the only source of collection for the firm in FY24. Leegality additionally earned Rs 4.2 crore from interest on bank deposits, bringing its total income to Rs 66.41 crore in FY24, a substantial increase from Rs 35.51 crore in FY23. Looking at expenses, employee benefit was the major contributor, accounting for 56% of total costs, increasing by 62.5% to Rs 36.4 crore in FY24 from Rs 22.4 crore in FY23. E-Sign Charges made up 15% of total expenses, rising 2.3 times to Rs 9.5 crore.Tech infrastructure formed 10% of expenses, growing by 55% to Rs 6.6 crore. Other costs, including stamp processing, advertising, and legal fees, brought total expenses to Rs 65 crore during the last fiscal year, reflecting a 66% increase from Rs 39 crore in FY23. With significant revenue growth, Leegality turned profitable in FY24, reporting a profit of Rs 1.11 crore, compared to a loss of Rs 3.5 crore in FY23. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at -2.75% and 3.33%, respectively. On a unit-basis level, the company spent Rs 1.04 to earn each rupee of operating revenue in FY24. FY23-FY24 FY23 FY24 EBITDA Margin -8.53% 3.33% Expense/₹ of Op Revenue ₹1.18 ₹1.04 ROCE -7.49% 2.75% Even though it operates in a fairly competitive space, Leegality’s turn to profitability indicates the ‘sensible’ economics within the segment. Even as more and more transactions and the documentation required are being digitised, the scope of work for Leegality and its peers will only increase, providing a clear pathway to growth. The only risk we can see is any government backed alternative like say, Digilocker which expands services to overlap with what these offer.

​​SaaS-based B2B fintech firm Perfios has raised $80 million in a new round from Teachers’ Venture Growth (TVG), a late-stage venture and growth investment arm of Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan. The new round has come after six months of $229 million Series D round for the Bengaluru-based company. With this, the firm has also crossed the $1 billion valuation mark and entered the unicorn club. Perfios plans to continue its international expansion and strengthen its global footprint, while also utilising the funds towards exploring inorganic growth opportunities, the company said in a press release. It will also continue to invest in its tech stack to power the end-to-end customer journeys across banking, insurance, and embedded commerce. Perfios helps in the aggregation and analysis of financial data such as bank statements, tax data, and business financials to generate reports across the areas of credit assessment, monitoring, fraud, and banking data aggregation. It has acquired more than 100 large clients across banks, NBFCs, digital lending platforms, mutual fund companies, insurance companies, and human resources. With a presence in 16 countries, Perfios claims to empower over 1,000 financial institutions, deliver 8.2 billion data points to banks and financial institutions every year to facilitate faster decisioning, and process 1.7 billion transactions a year with an AUM of $36 billion. B2B SaaS fintech company Perfios has announced a buyback of ESOPs worth Rs 154 crore (approximately $18.5 million) from its 135 current and former employees.

Perfios becomes the second unicorn of 2024 from the Indian startup ecosystem. Last month, Bhavish Aggarwal’s artificial intelligence startup Krutrim SI Designs announced that it raised $50 million at a valuation of $1 billion.
