AgentAn Indian fantasy startup that allows consumers to invest in gold, has become profitable by helping millions of rescuers use their app to make digital gold holdings.
Although many consumers focus on fantasy rich urban consumers or credit products, Jar has offered a culturally familiar asset to a low barrier admission location for childbirth. The goals of the four-year-old startup are minimal-income consumers-a segment that is often influenced by traditional financial institutions.
The strategy has helped the jar reach more than 35 million registered users in 12,000 zip codes, co -founder and CEO Nashcha AG said in an interview. He told the Tech Crunch that about 60 % of consumers are in small cities and towns in India (known as Tire -2 and Ter -3 cities), and more than 95 % are formally saving for the first time.
Startup financial matters reflect this pace, and two sources familiar with the matter tell the Tech Crunch that he is planning to go to the public next year. Sources said that the investment bankers are engaged with the launch of its IPO.
These bankers have a great development story for sharing. Jar’s operating income-its primary gold-saving app increased by nine times in the year 2024, which ended in March, revealed in its latest filing, 2.08 billion (about $ 23.6 million). Further dramatic, its total revenue in all business letters during the same period represents $ 24.50 billion (about $ 279.3 million), which represents a 49 -fold increase from $ 500 million (7.7 million) in the previous fiscal year (FY24).
This total income data includes income from digital gold transactions, the sale of jewelry through its NEK platform, and a third -party distribution contribution.
The component of the jewelry is a large piece of this diverse view. Best Launched Earlier last year, more than 8,000 zip codes to offer gold, silver, diamond, and lab diamond jewelry. The platform works on the drop -shipment model with zero inventory. Nash said it had crossed the annual income of $ 1 billion (about $ 11 million) last year, and “since then, there has been a permanent increase.”

The Jar UPI has also been an early authority to auto, which was introduced by the Indian government in 2020 to enable repeated payments to the UPI platform. This feature has helped startup, which only supports UPI -based payments for gold saving, runs a repeat transaction with consumers, according to sources familiar with the matter.
