By MYBRANDBOOK
Udaan has raised another $250 million to fuel its growth story. Udaan saw its revenues shoot up 6X to Rs 5,919 crore in FY21 from only Rs 978 crore in FY20.
The sale of traded goods on the online platform by Udaan was the leading revenue driver for the company, accounting for 94.41% of the annual revenues. These sales surged 8.8X to Rs 5,588.4 crore during FY21 from only Rs 632.7 crore in FY20.
The company also collects platform fees from other sellers in the platform and such collection grew by 7.5% to Rs 188 crore in FY21.
Udaan offers financing services to traders on its platform and collects interest and processing fees from them. Credit facilities are given to sellers and buyers trading on the Udaan platform bear interest ranging from 0% to 24% per annum and having a maturity period of 7 to 90 days.
The platform’s revenue from financing services grew by 96% YoY to Rs 34.1 crore while its loan book grew by 46.8% from 217.5 crores at the end of FY20 to 319.3 at the end of FY21.
Provision of delivery (logistics services) and cash collection services to its customers generated Rs 59.5 crore whereas sales of returned goods as scrap brought in another Rs 33.7 crore for the B2B Unicorn during FY20-21.
The company had raised $280 million at the start of Q4 FY21 as it was operating at an exponential scale during that period and fulfilling 8X the orders as compared to the corresponding quarter in FY20.
Procurement of stock in trade from manufacturers is the largest cost centre for Udaan, accounting for 63.3% of its annual costs with FMCG being its biggest product line. Cost of goods sold grew in line with sales, up 8.5X to Rs 5,531.7 crore in FY21 as compared to Rs 650.3 crore in FY20.
At the start of FY21, Udaan had laid off around 1,000 contract staff at the height of the first wave of the pandemic to conserve capital. It eventually hired more during the rest of the fiscal as order volumes multiplied and contract manpower costs grew by nearly 3% to Rs 620.5 crore.
