KaarTech posts Rs 359 Cr revenue in FY23; remains profitable
Medial

Digital transformation consulting firm KaarTech raised $30 million in July 2023 and the sizable funding helped the company to hack 56% growth in its topline in FY23. However its profit remained stagnant in the same period due to a sharp rise in its employee benefit costs. While the external capital helped the firm to register 56% growth in its topline in FY23, its profit remained stagnant in the same period. Kaar Technologies’s revenue from operations spiked to Rs 359 crore in FY23 from Rs 230 crore in FY22, its consolidated financial statements filed with the Registrar of Companies show. Founded in 2006 by Maran Nagarajan, Ratnakumar N, Selvakumaran M, and George Guardian, the company specializes in SAP and S/4 HANA implementation and offers consultation, implementation, and support of SAP-based enterprise software solutions to enterprises. Income from IT services comprising software development services, support services, and maintenance were the primary sources of revenue for KaarTech. The firm’s 97% of the revenue came from exports mainly from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, UAE, and other overseas markets. Similar to other product & service oriented tech companies, its employee benefits accounted for 71% of the overall expenditure. This cost surged by 81.3% to Rs 243 crore in FY23 from Rs 134 crore in FY22. The firm’s legal professional, rent, website maintenance and development, marketing and other overheads catalyzed its overall expenditure by 65% to Rs 340 crore in FY23 from Rs 206 crore in FY22. See TheKredible for the detailed expense breakup. The 80% surge in employee benefits impacted its profit which remained constant at Rs 22 crore in FY23. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at 28% and 11.5%, respectively. On a unit level, Karr Technology spent Rs 0.95 to earn a rupee of operating income in FY23. KaarTechnology has raised $35 million across rounds including its $30 million led by A91 partners in July last year. According to the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, its co-founders Maran Nagarajan, Selva Kumaran, Chandrasekaran Venugopal, V. Chandrasekaran and Guardian George cumulatively command 78.25% of the company. FY22-FY23 FY22 FY23 EBITDA Margin 15% 11.5% Expense/₹ of Op Revenue ₹0.90 ₹0.95 ROCE 31% 28% KaarTechnology stands out for the obvious-its strength in West Asia, and the EU rather than the North America and EU combination that powers most IT firms. While the fund raise was meant to correct that imbalance with a stronger push into North America, it does leave the firm with a lot to aim for. It should also explain the sharp rise in employee costs and more, as it prepares for its US push. At its current size, it is probably still some way off from acquiring true scale that could take it all the way to a successful IPO, but chances are, the firm will get there soon.

Construction goods and services platform Infra.Market maintained its growth trajectory with over 9X surge in gross scale during the last two fiscal years, rising from Rs 1,240 crore in FY21 to Rs 11,846 crore in FY23. Despite the hyper-growth, the Mumbai-based company has remained profitable for the past several fiscal years. While the firm’s profit dipped nearly 17% in FY23, Infra.Market’s gross revenue surged 90% to Rs 11,846 crore in the said fiscal year from Rs 6,236 crore in FY22, its consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies show. Infra.Market sells construction materials, infrastructure goods, and technical equipment which accounted for over 96% of its total operating revenue. Collections from these verticals grew nearly 89% to Rs 11,383 crore in FY23 from Rs 6,002 crore in FY22. The company has over 4,000 retail stores with more than 25 exclusive brand outlets across 22 states which is backed by over 100 dedicated manufacturing units. The cost of procurement of materials formed 86% of the overall expenditure. This cost surged 82.1% to Rs 9,974 crore in FY23. As the company hired aggressively to keep up with the growth, its employee benefits grew around 2X to Rs 279 crore in FY23. Infra.Market freight, legal-professional, power-fuel, information technology, and other overheads pushed its total expenditure up by 91.6% to Rs 11,607 crore in FY23 from Rs 6,058 crore in FY22. Check TheKredible for the detailed expense breakup. The notable growth and controlled cost helped Infra.Market to maintain profits which stood at Rs 155 crore during the previous fiscal year. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at 15% and 5.7%, respectively. On a unit level, it spent Rs 0.98 to earn a rupee in FY23. FY22-FY23 FY22 FY23 EBITDA Margin 6% 5.7% Expense/₹ of Op Revenue ₹0.97 ₹0.98 ROCE 10% 15% Infra.Market has raised over $500 million across rounds in a mix of equity and debt. According to the startup intelligence data platform TheKredible, Tiger Global is the largest external stakeholder with 21.33% stake followed by Accel and Nexus Ventures which command 16.87% and 8.46% shares, respectively. Head to TheKredible to see the complete shareholding. In the B2B e-commerce (industrial supply) business, Infra.Market competes with the likes of Zetwerk, OfBusiness and Moglix. Zetwerk’s gross revenue from operations grew 130% to Rs 11,448.6 crore in FY23 with a loss of Rs 108 crore. OfBusiness emerged as the largest player in this space with Rs 15,342 crore revenue and Rs 463 crore profit while Moglix reported Rs 4,595 crore in revenue and Rs 193 crore loss in the last fiscal year. With all key players achieving significant balance sheet size on the back of positive PAT or small losses, the segment is set to consolidate, with the possibility of smaller players being absorbed by the top 3 or 4. The category as a whole has enough space to grow, considering the small size of the organised sector and the many emerging opportunities from India’s push to be a manufacturing hub. Players will be willing to bide their time before they seek margin improvement, as they strengthen their positions in their key segments. Be it Zetwerk in say, renewable energy, or construction industry for another etc. Comfortably placed among the top 3, Infra.Market can be expected to continue to deliver healthy topline growth on the back of a fast growing economy in India. Faster bottomline growth or better margins will require a lower share for procurement of materials, something that we believe will not happen quickly.
