MobiKwik hit by Rs 40 Cr fraud in Haryana; recovers Rs 14 Cr so far Digital financial services firm MobiKwik has reported a fraud incident involving some of its registered merchants and users from Haryana, who allegedly colluded to claim unauthorized settlements from the company. The company disclosed in a stock exchange filing that the incident occurred between September 11–12, 2025, and an FIR has been lodged for Rs 40 crore. Of this, Rs 14 crore has already been recovered, leaving an estimated net exposure of Rs 26 crore. MobiKwik clarified that none of its employees, key managerial personnel, or insiders were involved in the case. Authorities have already made arrests, and the Legal Enforcement Agency has frozen and lien-marked bank accounts where the unauthorized funds were credited. The Gurugram-headquartered firm said it is taking “aggressive collection efforts” alongside legal action to recover the remaining amount. It added that further material developments will be shared with the exchanges as the police investigation and recovery efforts continue.

South Africa-based Net1 Applied Technologies has sold its entire 8% stake and exited its long-standing investment in fintech platform Mobikwik, through a block deal on Thursday. Net1 sold its entire holding of 62,15,620 shares at Rs 230.16 each, accumulating approximately Rs 143 crore, according to data from the National Stock Exchange (NSE). Net1 first invested $40 million (approximately Rs 270 crore at the time) in MobiKwik in 2016, aiming to integrate its virtual card and financial inclusion technologies with the Indian fintech platform. However, despite MobiKwik going public, Net1 appears to have made no return and has even incurred a loss on its investment. MobiKwik made its stock market debut in December last year with a strong listing at Rs 444, a 59% premium over its issue price. The fintech platform even touched highs of Rs 698 post-listing. However, the stock has experienced significant volatility since then and has now settled around Rs 261. MobiKwik reported flat revenue of Rs 268 crore in Q4 FY25, compared to the same quarter last year. However, for the full fiscal year, its revenue rose 33.9% to Rs 1,192 crore in FY25. On the bottom line, the company posted a loss of Rs 56 crore in Q4 FY25.

Urban Company posts 37% growth in Q2 FY26, losses balloon due to Insta Help push Home services marketplace Urban Company has reported strong topline growth during the second quarter of FY26, though its bottom line took a hit due to heavy investments in its newly launched vertical, Insta Help. According to the company’s quarterly financial results, Urban Company's revenue from operations rose 37% year-on-year to Rs 380 crore, while its net transaction value (NTV) grew 34% to Rs 1,030 crore. Urban Company’s India Consumer Services, which includes categories like cleaning, beauty, and repair, clocked Rs 262 crore in revenue. Its annual transacting users stand at 7.4 million, while its monthly active professionals increased to 57,251 during the quarter. Income from the native water purifier surged 179% to Rs 75 crore in Q2 FY26. Revenue from its international business stood at Rs 41 crore, while Insta Help, the company’s new daily housekeeping vertical launched earlier this year, has processed 468,000 orders in October 2025 with minimal revenue. With the new launch, the company has to expand its team as its employee benefits, marketing, and other overheads led its total expenditure to increase to Rs 462 crore in Q2 FY26, resulting in a net loss of Rs 59 crore, compared to a loss of Rs 1.82 crore in Q2 FY24. On a sequential basis, the firm posted a net profit of Rs 6.94 crore in Q1 FY26. According to Urban Company’s shareholders' letter, it expects consolidated EBITDA losses to continue in the near term as it invests aggressively in scaling Insta Help, which it sees as a large, high-frequency category critical to strengthening its core platform. At the end of September 2025, Urban Company’s total current assets stood at Rs 1,939 crore, providing ample liquidity to fund new initiatives and expansion. “While we are not yet generating free cash flow, our goal is to build a platform that maximizes long-term FCF per share and delivers lasting value to every shareholder,” said Abhiraj Singh Bhal, co-founder and CEO of Urban Company.
