Audited Financials (FY23-FY26)
ConfirmedCONSOLIDATED (Screener, triple-verified) — ₹ crore: FY2023: Revenue 7,990 | Operating profit (as mapped) −1,644 | PAT −1,776 | Total assets 17,966 | Borrowings 223 | Reserves 12,952 | Equity 63 | Net worth ~13,015 (derived) FY2024: Revenue 9,978 | OP −943 | PAT −1,422 | Assets 18,693 | Borrowings 177 | Reserves 13,263 | Equity 64 | Net worth ~13,327 (derived) FY2025: Revenue 6,900 | OP −1,506 | PAT −663 | Assets 21,448 | Borrowings 160 | Reserves 14,963 | Equity 64 | Net worth ~15,027 (derived). Revenue decline driven by Paytm Payments Bank/PPBL fallout of early 2024. FY2026 (ended 31 Mar 2026, announced ~May 2026) — FIRST PROFITABLE YEAR: Revenue 8,437 (+22% YoY) | Operating profit ~+500 | PAT +552 (turnaround from FY25 −663 loss) | Total assets 23,915 | Borrowings 194 | Reserves 15,962 | Equity 64. Caveats: Screener "Operating profit" folds in exceptionals, so it is not a clean EBITDA (company's own metric is "EBITDA before ESOP cost"); exact company-reported EBITDA by FY NOT OBTAINED. Net-worth figures are derived (Reserves + Equity), not directly reported. Tofler free page shows STANDALONE only (Mar-2025 standalone revenue noted only as ">₹5,000 Cr"; exact standalone P&L paywalled). Do not mix standalone and consolidated.
