IPO-bound fintech startup Innoviti managed to cut its FY25 losses by 12% to INR 62.1 Cr from INR 70.5 Cr loss incurred in the previous fiscal year. The improvement in the bottom line comes at the behest of a notable uptick in the startup’s top line and an improvement in its margins.
In the fiscal, the digital payments solutions provider’s operating revenue zoomed 35.1% to INR 142.6 Cr from INR 105.6 Cr in FY24.

Including an other income of INR 1.9 Cr, Innoviti recorded a total income of INR 144.5 Cr, up 32% from previous fiscal.

Since its inception, Innoviti has raised over $100 Mn in funding to date, and counts Bessemer Venture Partners, FMO, Catamaran Ventures, among others, as its investors.
