SafeGold clocks Rs 6,867 Cr in gold transactions in FY25; turns EBITDA positive
Medial

Digital gold investment platform Safegold’s gross revenue growth slowed to 12% in FY25 as it reported Rs 6,867 crore in operating revenue. The firm also turned EBITDA positive during the year. Digital gold investment platform Safegold’s gross revenue growth slowed to 12% in FY25, following strong expansion of 82% and 36% in FY23 and FY24, respectively, amid soaring gold prices in the country. However, the company turned EBITDA positive during the last fiscal year. Safegold gross revenue surged by 12% to Rs 6,867 crore in FY25 from Rs 6,116 crore in FY24, its consolidated financial statements filed with the Register of Companies (RoC) shows. Safegold is a digital platform that allows customers to easily buy, sell, and securely store vaulted gold, even in small denominations. It also enables users to convert their digital gold into jewellery through partnerships with Tata-owned Tanishq and CaratLane. The sale of digital gold across online and offline platforms was the primary revenue driver for the Mumbai-based company and contributed Rs 6,839 crore. The firm earned another Rs 27 crore from other operating revenue sources. Safegold sourced gold from refineries, custodians, and other trusted partners, accounting for 99.2% of its total expenditure. This cost climbed 12.5% to Rs 6,809 crore in FY25 from Rs 6,052 crore in FY24, mirroring its overall scale-up. Employee benefits expenses rose 12.5% year-on-year to Rs 12.44 crore in FY25, while it booked Rs 30.83 crore under miscellaneous expenses. Legal and professional fees, advertising, distribution, and other overheads pushed the total expenditure to Rs 6,895 crore in FY25. On the bottom line, Safegold’s losses rose to Rs 12.2 crore, which included Rs 14.48 crore of one-time exceptional expenses. At the operational level, however, the company reported a positive EBITDA of Rs 2 crore during the year. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at 32.77% and 0.03% respectively. On a unit level, it spent Rs 1 to earn a rupee in FY25. The company’s current assets stood at Rs 56.74 crore, including cash and bank balances of Rs 32 crore at the end of March 2025. Safegold is backed by Pravega Ventures, Beenext, a Singapore-based angel network, and individual investors such as Rajan Anandan, Roshan Angrish, Prashant Malik, and Niraj Shah. The company has raised over $2 million to date, according to startup data intelligence platform TheKredible. Even as SafeGold reported steady growth in FY25, digital gold continues to gain traction among retail investors. SEBI’s recent clarification that these products do not fall under its regulatory or commodity-derivative framework has removed ambiguity but keeps the category largely self-governed, a gap that could hamper customer interests in the long run if platforms fail to uphold adequate safeguards. With distribution widening across fintech apps, the onus is now on players to strengthen disclosures, audits and vault-management practices as the category scales.

Several digital investment platform users like Zerodha, Groww, Upstox, and more saw a huge uptick in user base in the last couple of years, mainly driven by the stay-at-home-norms during the Covid phase. Beyond the stock markets, investment in digital gold experienced a turnaround, too. This could also be evident from Safegold’s exceptional financial performance in FY23. Safegold gross revenue surged by 81.8% to Rs 4,498 crore in FY23 from Rs 2,474 crore in FY22, its consolidated financial statements filed with the Register of Companies show. Safegold is a digital platform enabling customers to effortlessly purchase, sell, and securely receive vaulted gold, even at minimal amounts. The sale of digital gold from online and offline platforms was the only source of revenue for the Delhi-based company. Notably, 79.2% of Goldsafe’s trade comprises wholesale transactions, with the remaining portion falling under retail trade. For the digital gold platform, the purchase of digital gold and related items accounted for 99.1% of the overall expenditure. In tune with scale, this cost grew 99.1% to Rs 4,459 crore in FY23 from Rs 2,443 crore in FY22. Its employee benefits, legal/professional, advertising, distribution, and other overheads took the overall cost to Rs 4500 crore in FY23 from Rs 2475 crore in FY22. See TheKredible for the detailed expense breakup. The 80% year-on-year scale and controlled expenditure helped Safegold to register a profit of Rs 11 crore in FY23 where the figures were at a loss of Rs 1 crore in FY22. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at 46% and 0.2% respectively. On a unit level, it spent Rs 1 to earn a rupee in FY23. FY22-FY23 FY22 FY23 EBITDA Margin 0% 0.2% Expense/₹ of Op Revenue ₹1.00 ₹1.00 ROCE -8% 46% Safegold is backed by Pravega Ventures, Beenext, a Singapore angel network, and individuals like Rajan Anandan, Roshan Angrish, Prashant Malik, and Niraj Shah. Head to TheKredible for the complete shareholding. In what is a business built on the finest of margins in a commodity as well established as gold, the company has done well to deliver high growth. But with margins set to remain slim, and profitability delivered on the back of interest income, the firm still needs work to ensure costs stay in check as volumes grow. That sounds possible in a category like Gold, especially in a bullish market for the yellow metal, making Safegold a firm to keep an eye on .

Exclusive All Stories Exclusive: BigHaat crosses Rs 1,100 Cr revenue in FY25; turns EBITDA profitable Full-stack agritech platform BigHaat Agro posted a flat scale with single-digit year-on-year growth in the fiscal year ending March 2025. However, the Bengaluru-based company managed to narrow its losses by over 25% during the last fiscal year. According to its co-founder Sateesh Nukala, BigHaat has crossed the Rs 1,100 crore revenue threshold in FY25 from Rs 1,050 crore in FY24. BigHaat’s revenue split consists of 85% of revenue coming from farm produce sales, with agri-inputs, which is direct to farmers, and digital only contributing 15%. The platform now counts 3 million monthly active farmers and reported 15% gross margins in FY25, said Nukala in an interaction with Entrackr. Nukala highlighted that exports and advanced processing, a high-margin vertical launched in FY25, now contribute 20% to its monthly revenue. “We have reduced our net loss to Rs 25 crore in FY25 from Rs 35 crore in FY24 and turned EBITDA positive for the last three quarters,” said Nukala. He also added that BigHaat is among the few agritech startups to achieve profitability at scale with 6x revenue-to-capital efficiency. As per Nukala, the company is targeting Rs 1,400 crore in FY26, with spices emerging as a key growth driver. “We are also open to acquisitions of new brands to strengthen our portfolio,” he emphasized. BigHaat has raised around $25 million to date. In January 2022, it raised Rs 100 crore led by JM Financial. Beyond Next Ventures, Ashish Kacholia, Ankur Capital, and others are some notable investors for the firm. This contrasts with larger peers. DeHaat, India’s most valued agritech startup, clocked Rs 2,675 crore revenue in FY24 but with losses of over Rs 240 crore. Ninjacart, backed by Walmart and Flipkart, crossed Rs 2,000 crore revenue in the same fiscal but recorded a Rs 259.6 crore loss. By combining steady topline growth, improving margins, and sustained EBITDA profitability, BigHaat is positioning itself as one of the few agritech ventures balancing scale with financial discipline, while many peers continue to burn capital at larger scales.
