True Balance plans to break even by the end of the year and list by 2024.

True Balance is seeing a lot of interest in its small loans, which has resulted in a 3x increase in revenue for the platform

True Balance’s revenue rose by 3X, and by November-December this calendar year, the company expects to be EBITDA favorable and break-even, he said. True Balance India is a completely owned subsidiary of Korea’s Balancehero Co Ltd, which owns and runs the ‘True Balance’ lending platform.

True Balance is an RBI-approved online service that arranges loans through True Credits, an RBI-licensed NBFC. Balancehero was launched in Korea in 2014 by Cheolwon ‘Charlie’ Lee and introduced the True Balance app in India in 2016 to help consumers handle their mobile recharge, bill payments, and balance check more conveniently. True Credits acquired their licence from the RBI in 2019, after which True Balance began financing.

Lee said the company is ready to listing in India and overseas when questioned about IPO ambitions. In 2021, the company is planning to treble its sales, which was USD 10 million in 2020. True Balance, which employs over 200 people, the majority of whom are located in India, is also trying to expand its workforce.

Lee found that the company has grown by 30 to 50 percent month over month, with the goal of concentrating on non-online payment and non-credit score customers.

Nykaa, an Indian cosmetics firm, is planning an IPO to raise $500 million

Within months, sales had risen from 60 daily orders to over 1,000 orders. Nykaa capitalised on its success by tailoring products to Indian skin tones, skin types, and weather conditions. It introduced a wide range of nail colours, which presently number over 2,700.

It also introduced customers to make-up fundamentals like foundation, which it now provides in over 1,500 hues.

According to a copy of Nykaa’s draught red herring prospectus dated Monday, the company’s IPO will include a fresh issue of shares for up to 5.25 billion rupees ($70.63 million) and an offer for sale of up to 43.1 million shares.

Nykaa, which began selling cosmetics and grooming products on its website and apps in 2012, surged in popularity before expanding into fashion, pet care, and household supplies.

According to the prospectus, the company had 43.7 million downloads across all of its mobile applications as of March 31. It also has an offline presence in India, with 73 physical outlets spread over 38 cities.

Aside from TPG, the company has investors such as Fidelity Investments and Alia Bhatt, a well-known Indian film star. According to the prospectus, Nykaa would use the IPO proceeds to open new retail outlets, support capital expenditures, and repay debts.

Nykaa’s strategy has been to spend in technology, marketing, and product extensions in order to maintain its position.

Its online offerings, similar to Netflix Inc.’s movie recommendations, use algorithms to recommend things based on what users have already purchased.
