India’s cashback queen is quietly building a fintech empire — and it’s paying off big time.


In a year where most startups are tightening belts and cutting burn, CashKaro just did the opposite — and crushed it.

The popular cashback and coupons platform reported a 15.9% jump in revenue, hitting a record-breaking ₹350 crore in FY25. And according to cofounder Swati Bhargava, this is just the beginning.


What’s Driving the Growth? Hint: It’s Not Just Coupons Anymore

Swati Bhargava credits the company’s explosive growth to strong traction in its finance category — which includes high-converting credit card and insurance offers, loan signups, and fintech brand tie-ups.

That’s right — CashKaro is evolving from just a shopping savings app to a serious player in the fintech affiliate space.

“We’ve seen massive momentum in the finance segment. Our users aren’t just looking for cashback — they’re looking to save and grow their money smarter,” said Bhargava.


The Bigger Goal? ₹500 Cr in FY26 — With Lower Losses

CashKaro isn’t slowing down. The company has already set its sights on an ambitious INR 470 Cr to INR 500 Cr revenue target for FY26, and what’s more — they plan to get there while cutting losses.

This means more efficient growth, smarter partnerships, and tighter margins. And it also means that CashKaro might just be on the path to profitability — a rare badge of honor in India’s startup world.


From Coupons to Fintech Powerhouse?

If you still think of CashKaro as just a coupons site, you’re missing the plot.

  • With deep links into ecommerce giants
  • A booming finance affiliate engine
  • And rising brand recognition in Tier 2 and 3 cities

CashKaro is quietly becoming one of India’s most trusted savings platforms. And with a loyal user base and healthy growth metrics, it’s positioning itself as a potential IPO candidate in the coming years.


Final Word: Watch This Space

While unicorns chase flashy growth, CashKaro is playing the long game — and winning. With strong revenue, growing fintech verticals, and a loyal user base, it might just be one of the most under-the-radar success stories in Indian tech.

And if they hit ₹500 Cr in FY26?
You’ll wish you paid attention sooner.
