| Financials (₹ crore) | FY2026 | FY2025 | FY2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from Operations | 785.08 | 623.40 | 574.11 |
| EBITDA | 588.93 | 491.88 | 416.36 |
| PAT | 407.84 | 355.32 | 305.34 |
| Total Assets | 4,460.85 | 3,263.82 | 2,795.34 |
| Net Worth | 3,079.39 | 2,767.80 | 2,462.51 |

It held AUM of ₹16,852.57 crore as of March 31, 2025, the second-highest among private ARCs in India (Source: RHP, citing CRISIL Report).
The company had acquired ₹89,909.34 crore in total principal debt at a cost of ₹44,114.43 crore, or 49.07% of that principal, as of March 31, 2026. Recoveries from these assets totalled ₹31,914.78 crore over the same period.
The company runs specialised collection teams for each of its three business verticals and uses a digital collections platform with data analytics tools. Collections have risen across each vertical over the last three fiscals.
Return on Net Worth stood at 12.52% in FY2026 on a consolidated basis, with Net Asset Value per share rising from ₹74.69 in FY2024 to ₹90.96 in FY2026. The company has not faced a credit rating downgrade in the past three fiscals.
Chief Executive Officer Phanindranath Kakarla and Chief Financial Officer Pramod Gupta lead a management team with experience across acquisition, resolution and financial functions. Promoters Avenue India Resurgence Pte. Ltd. and State Bank of India together hold 89.68% of outstanding equity.
Fee income and investment income tied to Assets Under Management made up the bulk of consolidated revenue from operations in FY2026. A decline in AUM value or a shift in its composition would affect revenue directly.
Non-compliance with RBI observations made during inspections would expose the company to penalties and restrictions. ARCs operate under RBI registration and ongoing supervisory requirements.
Recoveries depend on borrowers already in weak financial positions, some of whom face bankruptcy or restructuring proceedings. Delayed recovery affects cash flows tied to the underlying stressed assets.
Corporate loans made up 68.75% of AUM as of March 31, 2026, above the SME and Retail verticals combined. Weakness across large corporate borrowers would affect a wide share of the portfolio.
Operations rely on the secure processing and storage of confidential data across financial and collections systems. A system failure or security breach would affect business continuity.
A downgrade in its credit ratings would make borrowing more expensive and also trigger early repayment clauses on existing debt. The company has not faced a ratings downgrade in the past three fiscals.
Before evaluating the IPO, investors may consider the following factors:
The company's dependence on Assets Under Management value and composition
Concentration of AUM in the Corporate loans vertical relative to SME and Retail
History of RBI inspection observations and regulatory compliance requirements
Recovery timelines from stressed assets and dependence on borrower repayment
