Financial services platform Navi Finserv has raised Rs 150 crore through the issue of non-convertible debentures (NCDs) from six individual investors including top brass of Dadachanji Group. The board at Navi has passed a special resolution to allot 15,000 non-convertible debentures (NCDs) at an issue price of Rs 1,00,000 per debenture for a consideration of Rs 150 crore, the company’s regulatory filings with the Registrar of Companies show. Kairus Shavak Dadachanji, Pervin Kairus Dadachanji, and Rishad Kairus Dadachanji invested Rs 110 crore while Rohit Kapadia, Sandhya Kapadia and Yash Kapadia cumulatively invested Rs 40 crore in this debt round. Kairus Shavak is a chairman of Dadachanji Group which owns and operates several companies including Kaisha Packaging and Kaisha Lifesciences and Sovereign Pharma. In February, Navi had said that it plans to raise Rs 600 crore through a public issue of NCDs. As per Navi, the NCDs will be offered with maturities of 18 months, 27 months, and 36 months, with yields ranging from 10.47% to 11.19%. The Sachin Bansal-led firm will use the funds towards lending, financing, loan repayments, and general corporate requirements. The Morning Context report highlighted that Navi turned to crowdfunding a Rs 250-crore fundraise as the firm failed to raise equity capital at a desired valuation. Navi has been raising funds through NCDs in the past couple of years. In May 2022, it raised Rs 600 crore and got Rs 500 crore more in July 2023. Navi filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) in March 2022 with SEBI to raise up to Rs 3,350 crore. However, the firm had to delay the IPO plan citing the market conditions even after receiving approval from the market regulator. The firm also laid off nearly 200 employees after delaying the listing plan. Navi recorded Rs 421.5 crore in revenue from operations for the quarter ending September 2023 or Q2 FY24. As per the company’s unaudited financial statement on its website, it posted a profit of Rs 10.86 crore during the quarter. As per startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Bansal owns nearly 98% stake in Navi.

Sachin Bansal quits as CEO of Navi; new chiefs appointed for Navi Tech and Finserv The move follows RBI's recent lifting of restrictions on Navi Finserv, allowing it to resume lending. In October, the RBI had directed Navi Finserv and three other NBFCs to cease loan approvals, citing deficiencies in adherence to regulatory guidelines. Navi has announced the appointment of Rajiv Naresh as the new CEO of Navi Technologies Limited and Abhishek Dwivedi as the new CEO of Navi Finserv Limited. Sachin Bansal, the existing CEO of both companies, will transition to the role of Executive Chairman of the Navi Group while continuing to oversee the group's strategic direction. Both Rajiv Naresh and Abhishek Dwivedi have been part of Navi's early founding team and have held various leadership roles within the organization over the past six years. "This restructuring is a strategic milestone that enables us to sharpen our focus on long-term growth. Both Rajiv and Abhishek have played key roles in our growth, and I am confident that we will continue on this upward trajectory as they assume their new roles," said Bansal. According to the press release, Bansal will focus on Navi’s long-term strategy, expansion, fundraising, mergers and acquisitions, and improving compliance and risk management. He will also support Navi’s tech growth through innovation in technology and data science while guiding Rajiv and Abhishek in managing their businesses. After the changes, Abhishek will lead lending businesses, while Rajiv will handle non-lending businesses at Navi Group. Navi’s revenue from operations rose to Rs 1,906 crore in FY24 from Rs 1,238 crore in FY23, as per its standalone financial statements. The company’s net profits stood at Rs 668 crore, largely driven by gains from the sale of its subsidiary.
