Mobikwik made its stock market debut in December last year, listing at a 58.5% premium to the IPO issue price of INR 279. Its shares are currently around 15% lower from its issue price and around 65% lower from its 52-week high of INR 698.30.

Founded in 2009 by Bipin Preet Singh and Upasana Taku, MobiKwik is a digital banking platform that offers a suite of financial products for both consumers and merchants. Its revenue streams include payments revenue, payment gateway services, financial services and investment, among others.

Cofounder and CFO Taku told Inc42 that FY25 was one of the best years for the company, but a sharp change in sentiment towards unsecured lending, triggered by RBI regulations on peer-to-peer (P2P) lending, forced MobiKwik to shut or restructure key lending products like Xtra and Zip. This led to a sharp decline in lending revenue and user activity.

In order to ramp up its revenue, MobiKwik recently entered the stockbroking sector and is targeting the underserved tier II and Bharat markets, avoiding competition in tier I cities dominated by Groww and Zerodha.
