Medial

​​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. With this, Perfios has joined a list of handful of growth-stage companies that have bought back employees’ stock this year. Soon after the previous fundraise, Perfios announced a buyback of ESOPs worth Rs 154 crore (approximately $18.5 million) from its 135 current and former employees. The firm also turned profitable in FY23 while its revenue from operations spiked three-fold to Rs 407 crore in the fiscal year ending March 2023 from Rs 136 crore in FY22. Ahead of FY23, Perfios acquired fintech startup Karza Technologies and the Rs 600 crore acquisition seems to have paid off as the latter alone booked Rs 168 crore in revenue and Rs 51 crore profit after tax in the last fiscal year. 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.

BellaVita, a Gurugram-based beauty and personal care brand, reported a profit of Rs 25 crore in the fiscal year ended March 2025, a sharp turnaround from a loss in FY24. The improvement came amid strong revenue growth and better cost efficiency. BellaVita’s operating revenue surged 2.5x to Rs 456 crore in FY25 from Rs 184 crore in FY24, as per its financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC). The company derives its revenue primarily from sales of fragrances, skincare, and personal care products across online marketplaces and its own channels. Revenue from the sale of these products was the sole source of revenue for the company. For the perfume-dominated brand, the cost of materials remained the largest cost component, accounting for 39% of the total expenditure. This cost surged 2.7x to Rs 171 crore in FY25 from Rs 64 crore in FY24. Advertising expenses formed 21% of the cost and rose by 37% to Rs 90 crore. Commission expenses surged to Rs 64 crore, while shipping costs stood at Rs 42 crore. Employee benefits accounted for Rs 42 crore and other overheads added Rs 28.5 crore to the expense sheet during the fiscal. Overall, BellaVita’s total expenses grew 92% to Rs 437.5 crore during FY25 from Rs 228 crore in FY24. With the company’s revenue outpacing expense growth, it turned profitable and posted a profit of Rs 25 crore, against a loss of Rs 40 crore in FY24. Its EBITDA margin stood at 4.61% in the same period. On a unit level, BellaVita spent Rs 0.96 to earn a rupee of operating revenue in FY25, improving from Rs 1.24 a year earlier. On the balance sheet front, BellaVita’s current assets increased to Rs 119 crore while the company closed FY25 with cash and bank balances of Rs 4 crore, up from Rs 1 crore in the previous fiscal. According to TheKredible, BellaVita has raised a total of $58 million of funding to date, with Sanjeev Kumar Taparia and Ashutosh Taparia as its lead investors. The profits will be a welcome milestone for the firm that has shown the kind of intent and effort that marks out driven startups. Maintaining the momentum in FY26 will place it in a hallowed company in a category where the topline has been ‘bought’ with expensive advertising in most cases. BellaVita has certainly built a brand that has some pull of its own and could yet be the personal care brand to watch in the coming years.
