Capillary Technologies turns profitable in FY25 Customer loyalty and engagement solutions provider Capillary Technologies has filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with SEBI as it gears up for a public listing. The document offers a detailed view into the company’s financials, revealing a sharp turnaround in FY25. Capillary Technologies’ operating revenue rose 14% to Rs 598 crore in FY25, compared to Rs 525 crore in FY24, as per data disclosed in the DRHP. Capillary Technologies follows a B2B SaaS model, earning revenue through subscriptions and services for its loyalty and customer engagement platform used by global brands to enhance retention and personalization. Most of the company’s revenue is through subscription-based software services, which contributed over 80% of the total, growing nearly 20% year-on-year to reach Rs 481 crore in FY25, from Rs 402 crore in FY24. The remaining Rs 117 crore came from other streams such as services and integration-linked fees. From a regional perspective, North America emerged as Capillary’s largest revenue contributor, accounting for 56.6% of the total revenue in FY25, up from 48% in the previous fiscal. EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) made up 19%, while Asia-Pacific’s share declined to 24% from 33% in FY24. While a detailed expense breakdown isn’t disclosed, the company’s return to profitability suggests improvements in cost structure and stronger monetization of its offerings. The company posted a net profit of Rs 14 crore in FY25, a significant improvement from the Rs 68 crore loss in FY24. Meanwhile, its EBITDA stood at Rs 78.5 crore in FY25, with a margin of 13%. As Capillary moves closer to its IPO, the shift to profitability will likely be a key narrative for investors looking at the company’s long-term potential and scalability.

Home services marketplace Urban Company recorded a 38.2% year-on-year revenue growth to Rs 1,144 crore during the fiscal year ended March 2025 (FY25), according to its annual report.

Urban Company claims to have completed 6.8 million annual customer transactions across 17 super categories in 51 cities with a total net transaction value of Rs 3,115 crore (India+International). Urban Company offers a wide range of home services, including spa and salon treatments, AC repairs, electrical work, painting, wall panel installations, pest control, and more. It also generates revenue through the sale of its water purifier (native) and products sold to service professionals. Platform services continued to be the largest revenue driver for Urban Company, contributing 64.8% of its total operating income, which rose 32.5% to Rs 742 crore in FY25. Revenue from customer memberships grew marginally by 7.7% to Rs 98 crore. On the product sales front, the company saw a sharp 300% jump in revenue from its native water purifier, which surged to Rs 116 crore in FY25 from Rs 29 crore in FY24. The remaining Rs 188 crore came from product sales to service professionals. Of its total operating revenue, Rs 997 crore was generated from India, including the sale of water purifiers, while the remaining Rs 147 crore came from its international operations. It also added Rs 117 crore from interest and profits from the sale of mutual funds, which tallied the overall income to Rs 1,261 crore in FY25 from Rs 928 crore in FY24. Employee benefits emerged as the largest cost center for Urban Company in FY25, accounting for 28.6% of the total expenditure. This expense remained flat at Rs 350 crore, which includes a non-cash ESOP cost of Rs 72.5 crore. Spending on advertising and business promotion also held steady at Rs 207 crore during the year. Other cost heads, including materials, professional incentives, freight, payment gateway charges, outsourced support, and overheads, pushed the company’s total expenditure to Rs 1,223 crore in FY25, up from Rs 1,021 crore in FY24. According to its annual report, Urban Company’s India consumer services segment posted a profit of Rs 113 crore in FY25. However, its native water purifier vertical and international operations reported losses of Rs 38.7 crore and Rs 33.7 crore, respectively. The year-on-year growth, coupled with controlled expenditure, particularly in employee benefits and advertising, helped Urban Company to post a PBT (profit before tax) of Rs 28.5 crore in FY25, compared to a loss of Rs 92.7 crore in FY24. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin improved to a positive 2.46% and 6.68%, respectively, in FY25. On a unit level, it spent Rs 1.07 to earn a rupee of operating revenue. By the end of FY24, the company’s total current assets were recorded at Rs 1671 crore, with cash and bank balances of Rs 590 crore. Urban Company is set to launch its initial public offering (IPO). In April, the company filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to raise Rs 429 crore (approximately $50 million) through a fresh issue and an offer for sale (OFS) of Rs 1,471 crore. Urban Company, once enjoying a relatively uncontested market, is now facing growing competition from emerging startups such as Snabbit and Pronto. Meanwhile, Swiggy has also entered the on-demand professional services segment with its offering, Pyng.

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.
