Manish Agarwal, the CEO of Nazara Tech, one of the leading mobile games company headquartered in Mumbai, has said the company could clock a revenue of 450 Crores in the FY20-21. Please note that they have only 181 Crores of revenue in FY18-19 and 240 Crores in FY19-20. So what could be the reason for this spurt in the revenue?<!--more--> Below are some of the reasons for the revenue growth. 1. The company is seeing strong growth in the Esports business. Under this model, amateur players watch the live stream of the match being played by the professional players on OTT platforms & listen to live commentary. This is a very new concept. Let us understand this in detail. We all watch a live cricket match on TV or OTT platforms like Hotstar. The company like Star Sports buys live streaming rights of a cricket match from the company/board who is organizing cricket. This is how the company/board who is organizing cricket earns revenue. Star Sports then earn from ads etc. Now imagine, a game like PUBG, played by professionals in the indoor stadium and live streaming is shown on television or the OTT platform. Imagine you are sitting at home watching live games. This is the new concept that is picking up with a lot of pace in India. The company like Nazara will organize such games and sell media rights to players maybe like Star Sports and earn revenue. Nazara Tech is aiming to make a battery of these games which can be played by professionals. eSports is the fastest growing sports entertainment format among competitive gamers and Nazara has over 80% share of the Indian market through its majority stake in Nodwin. 2. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the company has seen its network grow from 5 Crores monthly active users (MAUs) to 10 Crores MAUs and expects this to further grow to 13 Crores by the end of this fiscal. 3. Nazara's battery of acquisition in the last 2-3 years in the field of esports, virtual sports, and early learning verticals have started to give them results. We have seen how Online Gaming is another sector after IT and Pharma, which saw their business flourish during the pandemic. So, we at UnlistedZone are very much optimistic about strong growth in the gaming business in India in the next 5 -10 years.
Tata Technology, the flagship IT company of TATA group catering to the automobile sector globally has announced a tie-up with GKN Driveline, the Group primarily in the business of manufacturing and sale of driveshafts to original equipment manufacturers in the automobile industry, to open up a software development park in B'lore.<!--more--> The Tata Technologies which has expertise in electric and embedded systems will collaborate with GKN next-generation e-Drive technologies. As per the information received, there are about 42 engineers at the lab, which will increase to over 100 by the end of the year. The plan of the software center is to initially target global players and then, later on, they are planning to extend the same for Indian manufacturers as well. This tie-up will bring a lot of opportunities for Tata Technology in the electric vehicle segment. In the last few years, this sector is catching the eye of many global investors as alternative clean energy for automobiles. The recent announcement by Elon Musk to set up an electric vehicle plant in India is another good case of rising demand for electric vehicles.

The much-awaited Paytm stockbroking services, under its subsidiary Paytm Money, have been launched in India for all its users. Initially, they were only giving the option of buying and selling mutual funds from the platform but now one can buy stocks, check charts and financials, etc. <!--more-->Last time we have covered this in detail when Paytm Money was looking to launch broking services that how it is going to disrupt the broking industry with the lowest brokerage offer. You can read the same here. https://unlistedzone.com/paytm-joins-the-bandwagon-to-offer-broking-services/ As of now, Paytm has a total of 8 Crores users on its platform. We can imagine the kind of disruption it can do the broking industry if they are able to attract 1-2% of these registered users. As per Paytm Money, initially, they are looking to target 10 Lakh users for its broking services. Paytm Money received an overwhelming response to its early access program and registered over 2.2 lakh investors. Out of these, 65% of users are in the age group of 18 to 30 years which reflects more millennials are building their wealth portfolio. As per Varun Sridhar, CEO — Paytm Money said, “<em>We aim to democratize wealth management services that contribute to the growth of Atmanirbhar Bharat. We believe it’s an opportunity for us to enable millennials and new investors to build their wealth portfolio. Our technology-enabled solutions help make stock investing simple and easy. We will continue to challenge the status quo and build India’s best product. We remain committed to making Paytm Money a comprehensive wealth management platform for every Indian</em>. Paytm Money is basically trying to replicate the model which Zerodha has done in the last 10 years, i.e. Along with simplified investing in stocks, the platform offers ample opportunities to the user to research the markets, explore market movers, create customizable watchlists, and set price alerts for as many as 50 stocks. Also, users may set weekly/monthly SIPs for stocks and automate stocks investing conveniently. Zerodha when launched in 2010 had disrupted the broking industry by use of technology and offering of very low brokerage. In the last 10 years, Zerodha has made a name in discount broking and has compelled other incumbent brokers to reduce their brokerages. Now, Paytm Money is aiming to disrupt the discount broking industry with its even more mouth-watering brokerage offers and use of technology. The next decade would be quite interesting to see how these technology-driven broking companies make a way for themselves and how they make traders and investors feel good about using these products.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created havoc across the world economies and India in the month of June has witnessed -23% growth in the GDP. So, we can imagine the kind of impact it has on almost all the sectors of the economy. However, the pandemic has also created opportunities for some companies which deal in the digital world.<!--more--> For example, these days we are using Paytm services more as compared to cash for buying anything from grocery to medicine, etc. Many state governments are making efforts to use the touchless smart cards in a public transportation system like Bus or Metrorail. In today’s blog, we are discussing one such company called Fino-Paytech which is working with the Maharashtra state government to help them use Smart cards for paying tickets on the bus instead of cash. In this project, Fino-Paytech is supported by CityCash. <strong>About City Cash</strong> CityCash is a start-up company in the fintech industry bringing state-of-the-art technologies and unique business models in the digital payments space with a focus on NFC based card payments. Started as an initiative to make India ‘Less Cash’ and offer digital payments for everyone, CityCash designs, deploys, and operates low cost offline and online payment technologies focused on the underserved space of high volume, low-value payments. In 2018, Fino-Paytech picked up a minority stake in City cash to grow its business in digital payments. <strong>NFC enabled Smart card</strong> Fino’s NFC based smart card will be used in the mass transit system and provide a mean of contactless or tap-and-go payment ticketing. This kind of initiative is required in today’s time to curb the spread of viruses. Fino Paytech has already issued ~30 Lakh NFC-enabled smart cards that will be used in 20k buses in Maharashtra. <strong>UnlistedZone view</strong> We think that going forward all these smart cards will become a norm and once people will become comfortable, they will start using these cards instead of cash. So, the companies which are working in the digital segment will be the ultimate beneficiary in the time to come.

Fino-Paytech has recorded a profit in the last two consecutive quarters i.e. March and June-2020. The Fino-Paytech mainly focuses on rural India and its 80% business comes from this region only. During COVID-19, a lot of migration has happened from metro-cities to rural areas and the government has put money in poor accounts via different schemes. In the June-20 quarter, Fino-Paytech has clocked a profit of 1.9 Crores as compared to a loss of 10 Crores last year.

A payments bank offer a plethora of products like payments and remittance services, small savings accounts, but not loans or credit cards, Fino Payments Bank has tied up with ICICI Bank to offer gold loans and it currently does around Rs 150 crore worth gold loans. It also has tie-ups with a few insurance companies to offer their insurance products to customers through its bank. <strong>Transaction Volume</strong> The commission of Fino-Paytech depends upon the worth of the transaction done.
