India’s BharatPe has reported operational profitability—an adjusted pre-tax profit of ₹6 crore for FY25—and plans a strategic pre-IPO funding round, but will defer a listing until market conditions improve.
BharatPe, the Indian fintech unicorn, has achieved operational profitability with an adjusted pre-tax profit of ₹6 crore in FY25, excluding ESOP costs. This marks a sharp turnaround from a loss of ₹342 crore in FY24, driven by revenue growth, disciplined cost control, and strategic operational efficiency.
Chief Executive Officer Nalin Negi confirmed that the company is preparing for a pre-IPO funding round to strengthen its financial position and support expansion plans. However, he clarified that a stock market listing will not take place this fiscal year, citing the need for favorable market conditions.

The company’s growth strategy is supported by a diversified portfolio, including its NBFC arm Trillionloans, a significant stake in Unity Small Finance Bank, and a recently approved online Payment Aggregator license. These assets enhance BharatPe’s ability to scale operations, broaden its service offerings, and build investor confidence.
Industry observers see this phased approach—securing profitability, raising pre-IPO funds, and then pursuing a public listing—as a sign of stronger governance and long-term stability. With enhanced financial discipline and a broader revenue base, BharatPe is positioning itself for a more impactful market debut when the time is right.
