From Red to Black: The Numbers Behind the Comeback
- Revenue surged to ₹1,734 crore, thanks to strong growth across all business verticals.
- Adjusted EBITDA (excluding ESOP expenses) flipped to a ₹141 crore profit, up from a ₹209 crore loss last year.
- UPI offline transactions saw a 26% year-on-year spike.
- Revenue CAGR from FY22 to FY25: a jaw-dropping 54%, rising from ₹457 crore to ₹1,667 crore.
Even more impressive? BharatPe’s adjusted PBT swung from a ₹765 crore loss in FY22 to profitability in FY25 — a rare feat in the cash-hungry fintech space.
