#9 Lenskart: Founded by Peyush Bansal in 2010, Lenskart offers an omnichannel platform for selling eyewear and lenses through their online platform and offline stores. The company has been investing heavily in setting up new physical stores - taking the number of offline stores to over 750. This is why the startup took a decade to reach profitability. In FY20, Lenskart made a revenue of $130 million with a profit of $2.4 million.
#8 Cashfree: Cashfree is a digital payments gateway platform that offers more than 100 payment methods to over 50,000 businesses around the world with a team of just 130 employees. Their ability to stay lean has not only enabled them to scale but also remain profitable from the get-go. Their profit increased 14X from just $190,000 in FY18 to $2.6 million in FY20.
#7 BrowserStack: India’s most valuable SaaS startup BrowserStack enables developers to test their apps remotely using their cross-browser testing platform that has more than 2,000 devices and is being used by over 50,000 businesses across the world. The company has been profitable since day one and they did that by never spending a single penny on marketing and investing all their earnings back into the company to build better products for their customers. In FY20, BrowserStack raked in a profit of $3.8 million.
#6 Aye Finance: SME lending startup Aye Finance has been profitable for the last three consecutive years and has disbursed loans worth more than $538 million to more than 200,000 small businesses. Aye Finance’s profits have increased to $5.3 million in FY20.

#4 OfBusiness: B2B e-commerce and lending startup OfBusiness uses purchase financing - providing businesses with a loan that they can use to purchase raw materials from their e-commerce platform. The company saw huge losses at the beginning as the profits from interests hadn’t come in yet. But once those profits starting coming in, OfBusiness started making money and they are now on their way to becoming a unicorn. Their profits jumped 73X from just $150,000 in FY18 to a healthy $80 million in FY20.
#3 CarTrade: Founded in 2009, CarTrade is the only profitable online used car marketplace. This decade-old startup has already filed for an IPO and is expected to hit the stock markets soon. The company significantly decreased its losses from $20 million in FY16 to just $2 million in FY17. They first turned profitable in FY18 and they did this through internal restructuring, key acquisitions and cost-cutting measures. Today (FY20), they are making a healthy profit of $11.5 million.
#2 Boat Lifestyle: Indian consumer technology startup Boat started in 2016 by selling charging cables and were able to hit profitability within the first year as the market was flooded with Chinese smartphones. Next, the company started launching more products like earphones, headphones and smartwatches with quality and affordability in mind to target value-minded Indian consumers. This strategy only accelerated their growth. Boat’s profit’s increased by 30X from just $225,000 to $6.6 million in FY20.
#1 Zerodha: India’s largest stockbroking platform started in 2010 with the goal of making investing in stocks painless and simple. Zerodha has managed to change the entire stock trading industry single-handedly and they did it without even raising any external funding or marketing their product. Today, Zerodha charges just Rs 20 (or 0.03% as commission - whichever is lower) from their customer for every intraday trade. Thanks to that, Zerodha earned a solid $135 million in profits in FY21.

@@iky__ Hi DarkWarrior, thanks for reminding us! With so many things to do before a video goes live, we forgot to add this. It is there now. -Caleb
What about a video on Quizziz.
Their 0 marketing budget with such a large user base is amazing.
@@backstagewithmillionaires Np it happens when in a very busy schedule.
Make video on top Drone manufacturers and top 30 defence manufacturers in India
Man seriously Zerodha was Revolutionary in India Stock Market Investments. If people knew Brokerages were high, a lot of people wouldn't have Entered the Stock Market
boAt is really amazing. I knew its making huge profits but never knew it was Indian lol
It uses almost all chinese manufactured products. So I don't think even being Indian it's worthy.
boAt is actually in the process of shifting a majority of its manufacturing from China to India, thanks to the GOI's proposed product linked incentive (PLI) scheme for wearable makers. In Jan of 2021, they raised $100 million investment from Warburg Pincus and are using the capital to make this happen. -Caleb
@@backstagewithmillionaires That's good news :)
Boat , Boult, mivi, noise all are indian brands
boat is next micromax but will survive because there is no incentive for chinese to go full power in so low profit products
Most of the profitable startups are making products or lending one that's what I learned from this video
Kudos to you BWM
Most Startups have seen revenue increase after 2016 due to digitalization of Jio
Man the research that goes into these videos is truly amazing. Always have a good time watching your videos. Keep it up Caleb and the BWM team. Stay safe.....
Thank you SV5! 😁 So happy to know you're enjoying our videos, and that you appreciate the efforts that we're putting. -Caleb

Hello Caleb! Just found your Channel, and it's like I've found a hidden treasure chest. What a wonderful Channel to gain knowledge about Indian Entrepreneur world and all the companies. All the interviews with the Entrepreneurs and CEOs are just gold and you get to learn so much from your wonderfully curated interviews. Just WOW!!! Keep up the amazing work Caleb. I don't see any other Channel anywhere near you. Love your videos my friend!
Wow A S O, so glad you discovered our channel! 😁 That is what Prithvi and I always hoped people would think when they found out channel in the future - when we filmed those interviews, we were getting almost no views, maybe a few hundred here and there, but we would always tell ourselves that we weren't doing it for today, we were doing it so that future viewers could look back and learn from those interviews. And now that is happening! 🙂 Thanks for the encouragement, and please stick around for more interviews - we have big plans for when the pandemic has dissipated and people are willing to come on to do in-person interviews again. -Caleb
@@backstagewithmillionaires I'm not just sticking around, I'm hugging your channel like those Koalas hug the trees! LOL. I'm on a Binge Streak of Backstage With Millionaires right now. I've got into this loop and unable to find a way out, which I don't want to if you ask me haha. Keep up the Godly work Caleb! You'll find my comments on every video now LOL!
Awesome stuff BWM..keep up the great work
Do a video on employees benefits in different companies including MNCs
This format is pretty good Caleb!
You are good man. This sort of research and video editing require a lot of work. Great Job. I love your channel.
This is the most amazing and informative video I have ever seen on TH-cam. You guys are killing it. Keep posting these videos. I would love to share with my friends and groups. Please let me know how I can help you more.
Thank you for the kind words Vyom, and for the effort you're putting to help us! 🙂 Initiating interesting discussions in the comments (much easier said than done haha) is one thing that helps us grow. We've noticed that the videos with multiple big comment threads tend to perform the best - the more engagement and views we get, the faster BwM will grow! -Caleb

Superb content🥂
Amazing ,Great video 💖💖💖
You make great informative videos, keep up the good work. Just though to mention that you might want to invest in a mini teleprompter. It will drastically cut down your recording time so you can read off the prompter while recording. There should be something to go with your phone or camera to maintain eye contact.
