THE SCOOP OF THIS WEEK

Vakrangee Ltd., which after facing a long list of controversies has been given clean chits from all the regulatory authorities including Sebi and ED. Some of the prominent global rating agencies have also given good rating. RBI, despite the entire wrangle, never took any action and the same goes for its various clients, whose list is too impressive to ignore like Amazon, Jio, and IRCTC etc. All this only shows that company has no corporate governance issues contrary to the popular misguided belief. The company was earlier only in e-governance, however, as projects were coming to an end the management smartly shifted towards last-mile banking and at present its star entity Vakrangee Kendra has 13200 stores on franchise basis, which by March 22 would reach 25000 stores. The management plans to take it to 75000 stores by 2026. In FY22 its Gross Transaction Value (GTV) will be $10 billion, which management is sure to take up to $50 billion by 2026. With its unique business model the company is considered to be Digital Bharat’s growth driver just as Paytm etc. are supposed to be Digital India’s. Company has hired world’s best brand stores consultant Lewis & Hickey and ready for demerger. Its soon to be launched BharatEasy App is going to change the whole scenario in financial transactions in coming months. With so much on its plate the counter has immense possibilities. Not to avoid for short as well as long term.
