NEW DELHI - Le Travenues Technology, the parent company of travel platform ixigo, has reported a significant turnaround with a net profit of Rs 23.4 crore for the fiscal year 2023 (FY23). This marks a notable recovery from the losses it incurred in the previous fiscal year and surpasses the profits registered two years ago.
The company's financial resurgence is primarily driven by robust domestic sales that reached Rs 487.9 crore, complemented by a near 30% increase in exports, which contributed Rs 13.3 crore. Overall, ixigo's total revenue climbed to Rs 517.6 crore, up from last year's Rs 384.9 crore. This revenue boost is supported by a substantial user base of over 66 million monthly active users across its platforms, including ConfirmTkt and AbhiBus.
Despite the positive revenue stream, ixigo's expenses also saw an uptick, totaling Rs 484.3 crore. A significant portion of these expenses was attributed to employee benefits costing Rs 126.3 crore and advertising expenses that reached Rs 93.1 crore.
Looking ahead, ixigo has set ambitious targets for FY24, aiming to scale up its revenue to approximately Rs 700 crore. The company's growth strategy includes leveraging its strong user base to drive further revenue increases.
In addition to its operational success, ixigo has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for an initial public offering (IPO) valued at Rs 1,600 crore. The IPO had been delayed previously due to an uncertain market climate but is now set to proceed, potentially providing the company with additional capital to fuel its growth objectives.
As ixigo looks forward to the next fiscal year with plans for substantial growth and a multi-crore IPO on the horizon, the company appears well-positioned to capitalize on its current momentum in the travel industry.
