Peer-to-peer lending platform LiquiLoans reported a 3.4 times jump in its FY24 operating revenue. The company's revenue from operations surged to Rs 695.63 crore in the financial year ended March 2024 from Rs 203.43 crore in FY23.

LiquiLoans made additional Rs 10 crore from interest income which pushed its total income to Rs 706 crore in FY24, reported Entrackr citing the P2P lender's financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC).

The Mumbai-based company reported cash and bank balances of Rs 33 lakh and current assets worth Rs 283 crore in FY24. 

Liquiloans has raised $15 million to date from Matrix Partners and CRED among others.
