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.

Fintech firm BharatPe has demonstrated remarkable growth over the past three fiscal years, with revenue increasing from Rs 119 crore in FY21 to Rs 1,426 crore in the fiscal year ending March 2024. In its consolidated annual report for FY24, BharatPe claimed a 39% year-on-year revenue increase, rising from Rs 1,029 crore in FY23 to Rs 1,426 crore in FY24. Additionally, the company made significant progress in reducing losses, with consolidated losses dropping by 50% to Rs 474 crore in FY24, down from Rs 941 crore in FY23. According to the press release, BharatPe’s average merchant lending portfolio, generated from loans facilitated through its platform, grew by 40% year-on-year in the last fiscal year. The company also achieved positive EBITDA in October of this year. “We considerably slashed our cash burn in FY24 and are on track to build a sustainable and profitable business. Over the last year, we have been able to partner with renowned financial institutions to extend credit access to merchants, which is a great validation for our business. Going forward, we will focus on growing our lending vertical, launching new offerings across POS, soundbox, and scaling our consumer vertical,” said Nalin Negi, CEO of BharatPe. In addition to reducing losses, BharatPe has diversified into new categories to drive business growth. Recently, the company rebranded its PostPe app to BharatPe, marking its entry into the consumer payments space. This strategic move places BharatPe in direct competition with industry giants like PhonePe, Google Pay, and Paytm in the peer-to-peer (P2P) payments ecosystem. The fintech unicorn has also ventured into secured lending for its merchant partners. Through partnerships with OTO Capital and Vol Money, BharatPe now facilitates two-wheeler loans and loans against mutual funds, respectively. Additionally, BharatPe has resolved its longstanding dispute with former co-founder and managing director Ashneer Grover.

LiquiLoans revenue surges 3.4X to Rs 696 Cr in FY24, remains profitable While the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) tightens regulations around the peer-to-peer (P2P) lending space, with the impact expected to be seen in FY25 and FY26, the sector’s poster child, LiquiLoans, has experienced 3.4x growth in the fiscal year ending March 2024. LiquiLoans’ revenue from operations jumped to Rs 695.63 crore in the last fiscal year (FY24) from Rs 203.43 crore in FY23, its financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) show. LiquiLoans operates as a peer-to-peer lending platform, providing personal loans, consumer loans, and deposit financing. The platform emphasizes high diversification, capping portfolio exposure per borrower at 0.5%. During the last fiscal year, the sale of these services was the company’s sole source of revenue. LiquiLoans made additional Rs 10 crore from interest income which pushed its total income to Rs 706 crore in FY24. On the expense front, service fee expenses accounted for the largest share, surging 4X to Rs 578.57 crore in FY24, compared to Rs 140 crore in FY23. Commission payouts increased by 88% to Rs 64.72 crore, while employee benefit expenses rose 2.5X to Rs 40.80 crore. Overall, LiquiLoans' total expenses jumped 3.3X, reaching Rs 704.59 crore in FY24, up from Rs 212.94 crore in FY23. The steep rise in expenses led to an 88% drop in profits for LiquiLoans, declining to Rs 71 lakh in FY24 from Rs 5.70 crore in FY23. The company's ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at 1.11% and 0.35%, respectively. On a unit basis, LiquiLoans spent Rs 1.01 to generate every rupee of operating revenue in the last fiscal year. The Mumbai-based company reported cash and bank balances of Rs 33 lakh and current assets worth Rs 283 crore in FY24. According to TheKredible, Liquiloans has raised $15 million to date, with Matrix Partners and CRED serving as its lead investors. LiquiLoans has built a strong reputation in the business, and market feedback indicates some of the lowest non-performing loans in its portfolio as well. As the backend for some leading players in the business, the firm has also focused on the higher credit score side of the market, further reducing risk. What that has also meant is that margins can be narrower if returns are safer. Thus, margin expansion will need to look at the cost side harder. With the regulator keen to weed out short-term players, LiquiLoans seems well placed for a strong run in the vanilla personal loans business, besides future opportunities with other products as it builds its own database of high-quality borrowers.

Zerodha Capital clocks Rs 12.5 Cr profit in FY25 Zerodha Capital, the lending arm of stockbroker Zerodha, posted a net profit of Rs 12.5 crore in the previous fiscal year ending March 2025 from Rs 7.2 crore in FY24. According to an ET report, the firm doubled its income to Rs 36 crore in FY25 from Rs 17 crore in FY24. As per ICRA, this rise in profit was driven by a 3.2X jump in its loan book, which grew to Rs 381 crore in the first nine months of the last fiscal year or 9M FY25. Zerodha Capital provides loans to retail investors by using their stocks or mutual funds as collateral. It runs with a small team and uses the strength of Zerodha’s broking business, which has 81 lakh (8.1 million) active clients on NSE—about 16% of the market. The platform uses this wide customer base to offer loans of up to Rs 1 crore by taking shares or mutual funds as security, lending up to 45% of their value. Most of this is done through digital platforms. Zerodha Capital’s net worth stood at Rs 170 crore with a gearing ratio of 1.4X as of December 2024, which means the company had Rs 1.40 in debt for every Rs 1.00 of its own equity, according to the ICRA. The promoter group is also planning to infuse Rs 125 crore via compulsorily convertible preference shares to support future growth. Notably, Zerodha Capital has nil NPAs since its inception. ICRA has kept Zerodha Capital’s credit rating steady at AA- (Stable)/A1+ and gave the same high rating to its new Rs 100 crore short-term borrowing plan. While ICRA pointed out that the company is still small and relies on a limited set of lenders, it was reassured by Zerodha Capital’s strong backing from the Zerodha Group and its careful approach to lending. Founded in 2021, Zerodha Capital aims to deepen its credit play within the securities ecosystem. However, its future performance remains tethered to market sentiment and regulatory shifts, especially as retail F&O activity—the group’s mainstay—faces tightening norms. Zerodha Capital’s parent company, Zerodha Broking Limited, has reported a net profit of Rs 5,496 crore in FY24, with a return on net worth of 56% during the same period.
