Gurugram-based ecommerce logistics company Delhivery has recorded a strong growth in the year, though expenses also increased ahead of a $450 Mn round expected from SoftBank , which will vault it into the unicorn club.

According to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs filings accessed by Inc42, the company has reported a jump of 42% in its revenue for the fiscal year 2018. At the same time, the company’s net loss also increased by 8.45% reaching $98.7 Mn (INR 692 Cr) in the year ending March 31, 2018, as compared to $91 Mn (INR 637.8 Cr) in the year before.

The company’s operational revenue contributed almost 95% to its total revenue of $153.26 Mn (INR 1,073.64 Cr) in the year, as against $107.92 Mn (INR 756 Cr) for the previous year.

Delhivery also increased its total expenses by 26.7%, which reached $252 Mn (INR 1,765.59 Cr) for FY18 as against $198.8 Mn (INR 1,393.5 Cr) in the year before.

Here’s a breakdown of its expenses:

  • The company increased employee benefits expenses by 40% reaching $40.59 Mn (INR 284.4 Cr) from $28.9 Mn (INR 202.9 Cr) in the FY17
