The total income for FY 2023-24 has increased by 31.71% to ₹69.54 crores in FY 2023-24 from ₹52.80 crores in FY 2022-23. Revenue from operations has increased by 31.48% to ₹ ₹69.29 crores against ₹52.70 crores for FY 2022-23 due to the addition of new customers in the customer portfolio and additional services from the existing clientele. Other income has increased to ₹0.25 crores in FY 2023-24 from ₹0.10 crores in FY 2022-23, which was mainly due to an increase in interest income.
