Three-year-old Zype’s revenue jumps 5X to Rs 101 Cr in FY25 Digital lending startup Zype’s operating revenue surged nearly fivefold to cross Rs 100 crore in FY25, while expenses tripled due to bad debt write-offs and higher NPA provisions. Digital lending startup Zype saw its operating revenue surge nearly fivefold, crossing the Rs 100 crore threshold in the fiscal year ending March 2025. At the same time, its expenses tripled, due to bad debt write-offs (likely NPAs) and increased provisioning for non-performing assets. Zype’s revenue from operations ballooned nearly 5X to Rs 101.3 crore in FY25 from Rs 20.3 crore in FY24, its financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) show. Zype, which has been operating as a NBFC, provides unsecured personal loans to young salaried professionals for purposes such as weddings, home repairs, and medical expenses. In FY25, interest income from its loan portfolio surged nearly sixfold to Rs 62 crore from Rs 10.58 crore in FY24, contributing 61% of its revenue. Processing fees also expanded 5X to Rs 34.39 crore, accounting for 34% of its topline. Zype also generated Rs 4.8 crore from other operating services, including penal charges, and an additional Rs 4.7 crore from non-operating sources such as interest on fixed deposits, income tax refunds, and gains on mutual funds. This took its total income to Rs 106 crore in FY25. Employee benefit expenses made up 20% of total costs, rising 89% to Rs 24 crore in FY25. Finance costs on borrowings contributed 19%, jumping to Rs 22.6 crore from just Rs 1.6 crore in FY24, while marketing expenses also doubled during the year to Rs 10 crore. The company wrote off bad debts worth Rs 19 crore and made provisioning of Rs 7.95 crore for non-performing assets (NPAs), together accounting for 22.67% of total expenses. Other overheads, including lease rentals for office and equipment, legal and professional fees, IT expenses, verification costs and others added another Rs 35.4 crore. Overall total expenditure for the firm rose over 3.3X to Rs 118.9 crore in FY25, compared to Rs 35.8 crore in FY24. Despite the revenue growth, write-offs of bad debts and provisions for NPAs pushed its losses up 76% to Rs 12.85 crore in FY25 from Rs 7.3 crore in FY24. At a unit level, Zype spent Rs 1.17 to earn one rupee of operating revenue in FY25. As of March 2025, the company’s current assets stood at Rs 368.7 crore, including cash and bank balances of Rs 33.65 crore. According to startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, the Mumbai-based firm raised over $30 million, including its Rs 90 crore ($10.2 million) round led by Japanese venture capital firm Unleash Capital Partners, with participation from existing investor Xponentia Capital.
