Even on a quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) basis, Zaggle’s PAT doubled from INR 7.5 Cr and operating revenue increased 8.3% from INR 184.2 Cr in Q2 FY24.

Founded in 2011, Zaggle provides a spend management platform for businesses, along with an employee benefits platform. The startup’s shares listed on the Indian bourses in September last year at INR 164. Its IPO was oversubscribed 12.57X.
