How BharatPe Went From INR 5,000 Cr Loss To Break-Even

BharatPe's strong focus on the core merchants lending and payments biz has paved the way for profitability despite its somewhat tainted past
BharatPe, a fintech startup, managed to transition from a staggering loss of INR 5000 crore to achieving break-even through a series of strategic maneuvers and operational overhauls. Initially facing financial turmoil due to high cash burn rates and governance issues, the company under the leadership of new CEO Nalin Negi, implemented stringent cost-cutting measures. This included reducing the workforce by 25%, renegotiating terms with vendors, and focusing on core business operations like lending and payment solutions. BharatPe also diversified its revenue streams by introducing new products like Swipe, Soundbox, and POS machines, which not only helped in reducing dependency on a single revenue source but also increased merchant engagement.
