Delays in Implementation

The Monitoring Agency has noted delays in the utilisation of funds for Objects 1 and 3, both of which were originally required to be utilised by FY2026 as per the Offer Document. The delay in these objects is described as "Not Ascertainable" in terms of the number of days or months. Additionally, a six-month delay was recorded for General Corporate Purpose (GCP) utilisation, which was required to be completed by FY2025 but was ultimately completed by FY2026. The GCP delay involved Rs. 3.23 crore, which constitutes less than 5% of the total utilised amount. The company's management has confirmed that unutilised funds for Objects 1 and 3 will be carried forward post receipt of appropriate approvals.

The Monitoring Agency has also flagged that the company reported losses of Rs. 66.49 crore in 9MFY26 owing to changes in the industry and regulatory landscape, though in Q3FY26, the company reported a PAT of Rs. 4.05 crore on a consolidated level.

The Monitoring Agency noted that the utilisation towards GCP was required to be completed by FY25 but was completed by FY2026, reflecting a delay of six months. Management has further indicated its intent to reallocate surplus funds from IPO-related expenses towards GCP in FY27, subject to receipt of appropriate approvals. The report has been made available on the company's website and the submission was signed by Ankita Sharma, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer.

Strategic Context and Management Commentary

In FY26, the company's Core business — comprising Consumer Payments and Lending — generated a positive EBITDA of INR 495 million. During the year, the company invested INR 547 million in building a new business in Merchant Payments, which is expected to deliver 10X growth by FY28. The full-year EBITDA of INR -52 million reflects this conscious capital allocation for growth.

Commenting on the performance, Bipin Preet Singh, Co-founder, MD & CEO, MobiKwik, said: "FY26 was MobiKwik's inflection year — we delivered a profitable H2 as committed, and achieved a ₹742 Mn EBITDA swing that demonstrates the strength of our model. Scaling responsibly and building profitability are not at odds; they are firmly aligned. Over the next two years, we will scale up our core business while building four new growth engines: Offline & Online Merchant Acquiring, Unlocking Lending through our NBFC, and AI powering everything we do. The margins generated from our Core will fund the buildout of these New Moats. We expect to remain baseline profitable through this investment cycle, even as we compound the business for the long term."

Given MobiKwik's target of 10X growth in Merchant Payments by FY28, what competitive advantages does the company have against established players like Razorpay and PhonePe in the offline and online merchant acquiring space?

With INR 1,821.55 million in unutilised IPO proceeds and a planned NBFC lending expansion, how might MobiKwik's capital allocation strategy evolve if macroeconomic conditions or credit quality deteriorate in FY27?

As MobiKwik achieved 170% UPI transaction growth versus an industry average of 26%, can this outperformance be sustained given NPCI's potential market share caps on TPAPs and intensifying competition from Google Pay and PhonePe?
