As a result, Furlenco posted a Rs 3 crore profit after tax (PAT) in FY25, compared with a Rs 130 crore loss in FY24. After a tepid performance in the last fiscal year, subscription-based furniture rental firm Furlenco has made a notable comeback in FY25. The Bengaluru-based firm managed 65% year-on-year revenue growth and kept tight control on expenses. As a result, Furlenco posted a Rs 3 crore profit after tax (PAT) in FY25, compared with a Rs 130 crore loss in FY24. Furlenco’s revenue from operations grew to Rs 229 crore in FY25 from Rs 139 crore in FY24, according to its consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Furlenco provides furniture and home decor for rent along with relocation services. Income from furniture rental services accounted for 91% of the operating revenue, which grew by 61% to Rs 208 crore in FY25. Income from the sale of products (furniture including sofas and beds), more than doubled to Rs 21 crore during the fiscal year ending March 2025. Including other non-operating activities such as treasury gains of Rs 11 crore, its total income rose to Rs 240 crore in FY25. The company streamlined its cost structure and reduced its total expense by 16% to Rs 237 crore in FY25 from Rs 282 crore in FY24. Employee benefits expenses decreased by 35% year-on-year to Rs 31 crore in FY25, while finance costs dropped 41% to Rs 19 crore in FY25. Cost of material, however, rose 33% to Rs 8 crore in FY25. Depreciation on the company’s furniture rose 29% to Rs 45 crore in FY25 from Rs 35 crore in FY24. With strong revenue growth and lower burn, Furlenco turned profitable and posted a profit of Rs 3 crore in FY25, in contrast to a loss of Rs 130 crore in FY24. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin improved significantly to 5.68% and 24.45%, respectively. On a per-unit basis, the firm spent Rs 1.03 to earn every rupee of operating revenue, compared to Rs 2.03 in FY24. Furlenco’s current assets stood at Rs 106 crore, including cash and bank balances of Rs 32 crore in FY25. According to startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Furlenco has raised a total of $298 m in funding till date, with Sheela Foam and Lightbox Ventures as its lead investors. The company’s founder and chief executive, Ajith Mohan Karimpana owns 12% of the company. Furlenco certainly seems to have discovered a better playbook for its business, because numbers like these looked unlikely till last year. While the concept has certainly found takers, operating costs had been too high to offer hope of such a turnaround. So credit to the team for having pulled it off.

Exclusive: Porter turns profitable with over Rs 4,000 Cr revenue in FY25 After recording a 56% year-on-year growth in FY24, on-demand intra-city logistics platform Porter has delivered another strong performance in FY25, posting nearly 50% growth and turning profitable, according to three sources and some documents reviewed by Entrackr. Porter revenue from operations grew to 4,300 crore in the fiscal year ending March 2025 from Rs 2,734 crore in FY24, as per the documents. Porter provides a full-stack logistics platform to help businesses optimize their last-mile delivery operations. It generated 99% of its total operating revenue via the goods transportation services while the remaining came from platform fees and other operating activities. It primarily serves micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and has expanded its presence to over 20 cities in India. According to the sources, the company managed to cut costs and reported a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 54 crore in FY25. During FY24, the Bengaluru-based firm cut down its losses by 45% to Rs 95.7 crore. Queries sent to Porter on Monday did not elicit a response until publication of the story. We will update the story in case it responds. Porter has raised over $332 million to date, including its $200 million Series F round in May this year, with Kedaara Capital and Wellington Management leading the investment. Prior to this, the company secured $100 million led by Tiger Global in 2021. Soon after the unicorn round, Porter also provided an exit to its early backer Peak XV, which generated returns of over Rs 1,200 crore on an investment of Rs 116 crore. Porter earlier operated with minimal competition from VC-funded players, but the landscape has shifted with Uber, Delhivery, and Rapido (in the two-wheeler category) entering the space.
