  • Niyogin aims to scale its lending book from Rs.135 crores (Sept 2023) to Rs.200-215 crores by FY24-end and potentially double it in FY25.
  • EBITDA margins, especially for the iServeU business, are expected to stabilize between 18-20% once scaling and operating leverage kick in, likely within a couple of quarters.

  • Operating leverage and product mix enhancements (e.g., card business, account opening) should improve margins and profitability over time.
