  • Revenue is expected to increase from INR 209 crores in FY26 to approximately INR 850-900 crores by FY29.

  • Expected international revenue contribution will grow from zero to around 10%-15% for TSP and 5%-8% for Payment Platform by FY29.
  • The SaaS vertical aims to add over 200 tenants by FY29, and international expansion targets over 10 countries.
  • Large project executions, including OPEX deals and AI-based RegTech products, will cause revenue spikes in certain quarters, stabilizing over time into consistent growth by FY28-29.
  • The transition from PPaaS to TSP and international expansion supports the high CAGR and margin expansion targets.
