ZingHR crosses Rs 120 Cr revenue mark in FY24, cuts losses by 67% Cloud-based HRtech firm ZingHR sustained its growth streak in the last fiscal year, with revenue from operations surging over 47%, crossing the Rs 120 crore mark. Simultaneously, the Mumbai-based company reduced its losses by two-thirds during the same period. According to its consolidated financial statement sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC), ZingHR's revenue from operations climbed to Rs 124 crore in FY24 from Rs 84 crore in FY23. ZingHR offers staffing and talent acquisition services across various sectors, including BFSI, retail, and IT. The company generates its revenue exclusively from the sale of subscription-based software. Similar to other recruiting and allied service platforms, Zing HR’s employee benefits remained the largest cost component, accounting for 61% of total expenses. This cost rose 37% to Rs 81 crore during the fiscal year ending March 2024 from Rs 59 crore in FY23. Server and data security charges saw a 71% spike, reaching Rs 12 crore, while product maintenance costs increased 50% to Rs 9 crore. In contrast, professional fees and other expenses witnessed marginal reductions. Overall, total expenses for ZingHR grew 24% to Rs 133 crore in FY24. Despite rising costs, ZingHR significantly reduced its losses, reporting a net loss of Rs 7 crore in FY24, an improvement from Rs 21 crore in FY23, a 67% reduction. The company's Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and EBITDA margin stood at -24.69% and -5.52%, respectively. On a unit level, ZingHR spent Rs 1.07 to earn a rupee during the last fiscal year. The Mumbai-based firm reported current assets worth Rs 56 crore, including Rs 12 crore in cash and bank balances in FY24. According to TheKredible, ZingHR has raised $14 million in funding to date, with Tata Capital as its lead investor, holding a 35.82% stake. ZingHR seems close to breaking out of any future fundraising requirements, assuming that momentum from FY24 has carried over into FY25 numbers as well. The disruption in the HRTech space is vastly underestimated, considering the continuous disruptions seen for the past decade, and ZingHR’s performance is quite good in that situation. While we don’t have a breakdown for revenue from India versus outside, the firm will do well to build revenues from exports. At a time when even forbidden sectors like the government or government-owned firms might be opening up to HR Tech firms, one would have to say even amidst the high competitive intensity, the sector is set to be significantly larger over the next 5 years. The one massive challenge will remain the missing firms from the MSME sector, which remains a problem to solve for service providers across the chain for now, not just HR. But all said and done, exciting times lie ahead for ZingHR.
