🚀 Growth Engines & Revaluation Catalysts

  1. Embedded Finance Acceleration: Indian embedded finance growing ~38% CAGR; Niyogin well-positioned.

⚠️ Risks

  • Losses Persisting: PAT still negative despite revenue growth.

  • Credit Risk: MSME lending carries default risk despite EDI repayments.

  • Regulatory Changes: RBI tightening in co-lending may increase compliance costs.

  • Execution Risk: Need sustained client onboarding & order book conversion.


🎯 Entry & Exit Strategy

  • Entry Zone: ₹65–70 → Accumulate gradually on dips.

  • Add More: If AUM crosses ₹400–500 cr and EBITDA remains positive.

  • Exit Zone: ₹90–100 → Partial exits on iServeU demerger / strong lending profitability.

  • Re-entry: On corrections due to market sentiment, not structural weakness.


🔓 Value Unlocking Events

  • 2025–26: Capital raise, new partnerships, gig expansion.

  • 2026–27: iServeU demerger/listing → rerating trigger.

📌 Allocation (₹8 Cr Portfolio)

  • Target Exposure: 1–2% → ₹8–16 lakh.

  • Initial Holding: ~₹1 lakh (small).

  • Recommended Scaling: Phase into ₹8–10 lakh by FY26 triggers; max cap ₹16 lakh.


✅ Verdict

Niyogin Fintech is a high-beta fintech disruptor at the inflection of profitability and platform scale. With strong order book growth, a possible iServeU demerger, and NBFC AUM expansion, the next 2–3 years could unlock exponential growth.

Best approach: Enter gradually at ₹65–70, add on execution triggers, and trim at ₹90–100 around major events. Keep exposure disciplined (~1–2% of portfolio).
