Mintifi Reports Rs 92 Crore PAT in FY24 Amid Robust Revenue Growth

Mintifi, the supply-chain financing startup, has reported a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 92 crore for FY24, reflecting a remarkable 4X growth compared to the previous year. This performance comes on the back of a strong revenue surge, touching Rs 384 crore, as per its financial filings.

Revenue Sources: The Backbone of Mintifi’s Growth

Mintifi’s primary revenue stream is interest income from loan disbursements, which accounted for a whopping 80% of its operational revenue. This segment saw a 2X jump, contributing Rs 308 crore to the overall figures.

The remainder of Mintifi’s operational revenue came from the sale of goods, specifically textiles. These were recorded as inventory purchased by distributors and retailers on a deferred payment basis. This innovative financing model has played a critical role in driving revenue growth.

In addition, the company earned Rs 17 crore from interest on current investments, bringing its total income for FY24 to Rs 401 crore, marking a 76.6% increase from Rs 227 crore in FY23.
