New Delhi [India], November 5: <\/strong>When an Indian credit-card holder swaps reward points for a Swiggy, Amazon or Myntra voucher, GYFTR<\/strong> is often the company doing the work. It is India\u2019s largest digital gift voucher platform<\/strong>, and investors can now own it on the stock market. The shares jumped about 12% on 5 November 2026 to around \u20b9205<\/strong>, a new high for the year.<\/p>\n

A simple business<\/h4>\n

GYFTR<\/strong> buys gift vouchers from brands in bulk at a discount. It then sells them to shoppers, companies and banks, and keeps part of the discount as profit. Vouchers reach the customer in seconds by SMS, email or WhatsApp<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Shoppers<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

55 lakh+ users<\/strong> buy vouchers at up to 40% off<\/strong>, with no fees.<\/p>\n

Companies<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

750+ firms<\/strong> use GYFTR for staff awards, dealer rewards and festive gifts.<\/p>\n

Banks<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

14 banks<\/strong>, including HDFC, SBI Card, Axis and PNB<\/strong>, run their reward points through GYFTR.<\/p>\n

It has 400+ brands<\/strong> on the platform. It also earns from brand advertising, its AI shopping assistant Ema<\/strong>, and vouchers that are never used.<\/p>\n

The numbers are taking off<\/h3>\n

FY26<\/strong> was the first full year of the voucher business. Revenue reached \u20b9396 crore<\/strong>, and profit after tax was \u20b921.8 crore<\/strong>. Debt fell from \u20b936 crore to just \u20b91.25 crore<\/strong>, and net worth rose 40% to \u20b9485 crore<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The latest quarter, April to June 2026<\/strong>, was even stronger. Revenue was \u20b9155 crore<\/strong>, about 14 times<\/strong> the same quarter a year earlier. Consolidated profit was \u20b95.3 crore<\/strong>. At this pace, GYFTR is already running at more than \u20b9600 crore of revenue a year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Much bigger than it looks<\/h3>\n

The listed company holds only part of the full GYFTR business so far. The wider group did about \u20b92,520 crore of revenue in FY26<\/strong>. The promoter has said the plan is to bring the entire business into the listed company. If that happens, revenue could be several times higher than it is today.<\/p>\n

Why we are bullish<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Clear leader:<\/strong> about 60% of India\u2019s digital voucher market<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • New bank wins:<\/strong> a three-year deal with Punjab National Bank in August 2026<\/strong>, plus 27 more partners<\/strong> in the pipeline.<\/li>\n
  • Founders on board:<\/strong> Vouchagram founders Arvind Prabhakar and Puja Punj<\/strong> joined the board in August 2026<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • More to come:<\/strong> plans for 450+ brands<\/strong>, its own vouchers, ONDC and HR-software rewards<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • Strong tailwinds:<\/strong> India has about 300 million online shoppers<\/strong>, and companies are moving from physical gifts to digital vouchers.<\/li>\n
  • Next trigger:<\/strong> Q2 results on 13 November 2026<\/strong>, the first quarter with the PNB deal and festive demand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Our view:<\/strong> GYFTR is the leader in a fast-growing market. It is profitable, almost debt-free, and has a much larger business still to come into the listed company. For investors who want to back India\u2019s digital rewards boom, GYFTR stands out.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
