“We remain committed to driving growth sustainably and profitably,” Ravi Kumar stressed.
With a cash flow of above ₹1,000 crore, Upstox is looking for both organic and inorganic growth opportunities.
Established in 2009, Upstox has a customer base of 11 million people nationwide. More than 85% of these customers are located in tier-II and tier-III cities, and 70% of them are investing for the first time. According to Ravi Kumar, the highest number of customers comes from cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Thane, Bangalore, Jaipur, Hyderabad, Aurangabad, Nashik, and Nagpur.
Although the corporation secured USD 100 million through Series C funding in January 2022, they do not have any immediate plans to raise additional funds.
The co-founder mentioned that the company’s “financial stability” will aid in strengthening its position in the market through both organic and inorganic methods, and enable it to reach its goal of acquiring 100 million customers in the next 5-6 years. The company highlighted that only a small percentage (less than 5%) of the Indian population invests in stocks, indicating that there is significant untapped potential in the Indian market.
Over the past 18 months, the company has directed its focus on the Indian market and has halted its expansion plans in the US, in order to prioritize the growth of its business within India.
