M2P Solutions, a B2B fintech startup, saw its combined net loss soar to INR 134.3 Cr in the fiscal year 2022-23 (FY23), marking a significant increase from INR 40.1 Cr in the preceding financial year. This surge in losses was primarily attributed to a notable uptick in certain expenditure categories.

Despite experiencing a remarkable 126% surge in operational revenue to INR 440.7 Cr during the aforementioned period, up from INR 194.7 Cr in FY22, the startup’s overall financial performance was adversely affected.

In the fiscal year 2023, M2P’s total revenue, including interest income and other non-operating income, amounted to INR 487.9 Cr, compared to INR 204 Cr in the previous fiscal year.

It is worth mentioning that between the end of the fiscal year 2022 and mid-fiscal year 2023, M2P secured additional funding as part of its Series C-1 round in multiple installments. The company announced its intention to utilize the capital to enhance its technology, grow its teams, and expedite its global expansion efforts.

In September 2022, M2P received a $2.7 million investment from the American multinational financial services provider, Visa.

M2P’s total expenses in FY23 were INR 623.3 Cr, which was a significant increase of nearly 155% from the previous year’s expenses of INR 244.6 Cr.

Employee benefit expenses for the startup experienced a significant increase of 223.5% to INR 188.3 Cr in the fiscal year under review, up from INR 58.2 Cr in FY22.

Of this amount, M2P allocated INR 145.2 Cr towards salaries and wages, marking a 187.2% year-on-year increase. Additionally, the startup also dedicated INR 29.1 Cr towards employee share-based payments in FY23.

In the past fiscal year, M2P’s expenditures in this area soared by an impressive 118%, reaching INR 365.4 Cr compared to the previous year’s INR 167.4 Cr. Notably, the company allocated INR 22 Cr towards legal expenses, marking a significant 262% increase year-on-year.

Amidst this growth, M2P remains dedicated to enhancing its technological infrastructure.
