The decent growth in scale and controlled cost mechanism helped InCred post 2.6X growth in profits to Rs 316 crore in FY24 from Rs 121 crore in FY23. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin improved to 5% and 34%, respectively. On a unit level, it spent Rs 0.69 to earn a rupee in FY24.

InCred turned unicorn after a $60 million funding led by Ranjan Pai’s MEMG Fund in December last year. Entrackr exclusively reported the development. According to the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, KKR is the largest external stakeholder with 31.5% followed by B Singh Holding.

InCred has done well to carve out its own space in a crowded market, and seems set to emerge as one of the more resilient firms in the space. Its record should enable access to more funding, especially debt funding that could be used to expand its balance sheet. Founder Singh has done more than enough to validate his premise of a strong market being missed by banks and many other financial institutions. The key issue is whether the future of the firm post its significant stake sale to KKR, considering how large conglomerates are on the prowl for healthy, well-established financial firms.
