PB Fintech Limited, the parent entity of prominent digital platforms such as Policybazaar and Paisabazaar, announced its financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2026 (April to June 2025) on July 31, 2025. The company achieved a consolidated net profit of 845.9 million Indian rupees (approximately $9.7 million), reflecting a 40% increase from the 601.8 million rupees recorded in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. This growth was primarily attributed to heightened demand within India’s insurance market, particularly in health insurance, where new policy issuances surged by 65% year-over-year.
Key Financial Highlights
- Revenue Performance: Operating revenue advanced by 33% to 13.48 billion rupees, compared to 10.10 billion rupees in the prior year’s quarter. This uptick was led by a 40% expansion in the insurance broking segment, which constitutes the company’s primary revenue source.
- Insurance Premium Metrics: Overall insurance premiums grew by 36% to 66.16 billion rupees. Within the core online insurance operations, premiums increased by 35%, with the new protection category (encompassing health and term insurance) rising by 46%.
- Additional Segment Insights: The lending disbursal segment demonstrated robust growth, expanding by 123% to 70.03 billion rupees. Core online insurance revenue specifically climbed by 37% to 7.32 billion rupees. The company also approved unsecured loans totaling 4 billion rupees to its subsidiaries, Policybazaar and Paisabazaar.
These results underscore the escalating adoption of digital insurance solutions in India, fueled by greater consumer awareness and accessibility through PB Fintech’s platforms. No explicit forward guidance was provided in the announcements.
