Direct-to-consumer (D2C) health and wellness brand Traya has raised Rs 75 crore from Xponentia Capital. The fresh round has come for the Mumbai-based company after a hiatus of 2 years. The proceeds will be used to mark a pivotal moment toward its mission to take its clinically proven hair growth treatment to the masses. The company said in a press release. Established in 2019, Traya focuses on addressing hair loss at its core by identifying the underlying causes. It provides personalized hair solutions and guidance from a team of experienced hair coaches and physicians. The company also claims to have a user base of over 10 lakh customers. Besides its own web and mobile apps, the firm leverages third-party marketplaces such as Fl; Flipkart and Amazon for distribution. As per startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Traya has raised a total of Rs 20.75 crore to date including its $2 million from Fireside Ventures and other backers.

However, the firm’s losses stood at Rs 27.83 crore in the same period.

**Title:** Exclusive: Fintech startup Zype secures debt Fintech platform Zype secured Rs 34 crore ($4 million) in debt funding from existing investors Xponentia Capital through Xponentia Opportunities Fund II. The Zype’s board has allotted 34,000 non-convertible debentures having face value of Rs 10,000 apiece to Xponentia Capital to raise the above mentioned amount, according to its filing with Registrar of Companies (RoC). The proceeds of this debt funding will be used to augment the long-term working capital needs of the company, the filing added. Founded in 2022 by Yogi Sadana, Zype is a fintech platform that provides instant personal loans of up to Rs 2 lakh with flexible repayment options. In addition to lending, it offers a credit analyzer to help users monitor their spending and a bill payment feature that rewards users with cashback.

The Mumbai-based company reported Rs 20.3 crore in operating revenue for the fiscal year ending March 2024, while posting a loss of Rs 7.3 crore during the same period.

Three-year-old Zype’s revenue jumps 5X to Rs 101 Cr in FY25 Digital lending startup Zype’s operating revenue surged nearly fivefold to cross Rs 100 crore in FY25, while expenses tripled due to bad debt write-offs and higher NPA provisions. Digital lending startup Zype saw its operating revenue surge nearly fivefold, crossing the Rs 100 crore threshold in the fiscal year ending March 2025. At the same time, its expenses tripled, due to bad debt write-offs (likely NPAs) and increased provisioning for non-performing assets. Zype’s revenue from operations ballooned nearly 5X to Rs 101.3 crore in FY25 from Rs 20.3 crore in FY24, its financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) show. Zype, which has been operating as a NBFC, provides unsecured personal loans to young salaried professionals for purposes such as weddings, home repairs, and medical expenses. In FY25, interest income from its loan portfolio surged nearly sixfold to Rs 62 crore from Rs 10.58 crore in FY24, contributing 61% of its revenue. Processing fees also expanded 5X to Rs 34.39 crore, accounting for 34% of its topline. Zype also generated Rs 4.8 crore from other operating services, including penal charges, and an additional Rs 4.7 crore from non-operating sources such as interest on fixed deposits, income tax refunds, and gains on mutual funds. This took its total income to Rs 106 crore in FY25. Employee benefit expenses made up 20% of total costs, rising 89% to Rs 24 crore in FY25. Finance costs on borrowings contributed 19%, jumping to Rs 22.6 crore from just Rs 1.6 crore in FY24, while marketing expenses also doubled during the year to Rs 10 crore. The company wrote off bad debts worth Rs 19 crore and made provisioning of Rs 7.95 crore for non-performing assets (NPAs), together accounting for 22.67% of total expenses. Other overheads, including lease rentals for office and equipment, legal and professional fees, IT expenses, verification costs and others added another Rs 35.4 crore. Overall total expenditure for the firm rose over 3.3X to Rs 118.9 crore in FY25, compared to Rs 35.8 crore in FY24. Despite the revenue growth, write-offs of bad debts and provisions for NPAs pushed its losses up 76% to Rs 12.85 crore in FY25 from Rs 7.3 crore in FY24. At a unit level, Zype spent Rs 1.17 to earn one rupee of operating revenue in FY25. As of March 2025, the company’s current assets stood at Rs 368.7 crore, including cash and bank balances of Rs 33.65 crore. According to startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, the Mumbai-based firm raised over $30 million, including its Rs 90 crore ($10.2 million) round led by Japanese venture capital firm Unleash Capital Partners, with participation from existing investor Xponentia Capital.
