Vaibhav Vyapaar IPO Lot Size and Minimum Investment
The trading lot size is 2,000 shares. However, individual investors must apply for a minimum of two lots, equivalent to 4,000 shares.
At the upper price band:
Minimum investment = 4,000 shares × ₹52 = ₹2,08,000
This requirement reflects the revised SME IPO bidding framework, under which the individual investor application threshold exceeds ₹2 lakh.

The Vaibhav Vyapaar IPO date is scheduled for 13 October 2026, with bidding closing on 15 October 2026.

Vaibhav Vyapaar Limited is an RBI-registered non-banking financial company specialising in technology-enabled lending.
Incorporated in February 2009, the company has its registered office in Kolkata and corporate office in Bengaluru. It became part of the Capfront Technologies group in 2019.
The company operates primarily through LoanFront, a digital lending platform that provides unsecured personal loans to salaried and self-employed individuals.
According to its DRHP, LoanFront had achieved:
-
More than 114 lakh app downloads by June 2026.
-
Cumulative loan disbursements of approximately ₹1,500 crore.
-
Total AUM of ₹70.68 crore as of March 2026.
The difference between cumulative disbursements and outstanding AUM is important. Cumulative disbursements represent loans originated over time, whereas AUM measures the loan portfolio outstanding at a particular date.
Key Business Activities
Vaibhav Vyapaar operates through three principal activities.
1. Digital Personal Loans
The company provides unsecured personal loans through LoanFront, primarily targeting salaried and self-employed borrowers.
2. Co-lending and Loan Management
It works with lending partners to originate, manage and service loan portfolios. These arrangements allow the company to participate in lending activities beyond loans held entirely on its own balance sheet.
3. Technology and Platform Services
The company generates income from technology infrastructure, platform usage and loan-related services offered through its digital lending ecosystem.
This model reduces reliance on a traditional branch network but makes technology infrastructure, lending partnerships and digital customer acquisition important to business continuity.
Vaibhav Vyapaar earns revenue through a combination of interest income, platform fees, commissions and other loan-related charges.
Unlike a conventional lender that primarily depends on interest income, the company's financial performance is significantly influenced by its platform-based revenue.
Vaibhav Vyapaar Loan Products
The company offers short-term unsecured loans to different borrower categories.

|
Self-employed borrowers
|
₹1,500 to ₹30,000
|
|
Salaried borrowers
|
₹10,000 to ₹2,00,000
|
Self-employed loan tenures generally range from 3 to 12 months, while salaried borrower loans range from 3 to 24 months.
The disclosed annual interest rates range between 17.50% and 33.94%, depending on the borrower profile and lending product.
These rates represent the stated product-level interest range, not the company's realised portfolio yield.
Vaibhav Vyapaar Revenue Breakdown in FY26
Platform fees were the largest contributor to Vaibhav Vyapaar's revenue in FY26, accounting for more than 44% of operating revenue.

Platform fees contributed 44.18% of revenue, while interest income from loans and advances accounted for 29.76%.
This revenue composition makes Vaibhav Vyapaar different from NBFCs whose earnings primarily depend on the interest spread between borrowing and lending rates.
For investors, it creates two important areas of analysis: the credit performance of the loan book and the sustainability of fee-based revenue.
Any change in lending volumes, partner arrangements, customer charges or applicable regulations could affect platform-related income.
Vaibhav Vyapaar recorded revenue and profit growth in FY26, supported by higher platform fees and increasing lending activity.
However, its net profit margin declined despite higher absolute profitability.

| Profit After Tax |
₹1.48 crore |
| PAT Margin |

| Return on Equity |
5.59% |
Revenue from operations increased by 46.91% YoY, from ₹25.05 crore in FY25 to ₹36.80 crore in FY26.
Profit after tax increased by approximately 33.20%, from ₹1.48 crore to ₹1.97 crore.
For additional historical context, FY24 revenue from operations stood at ₹25.25 crore, while PAT was ₹0.45 crore.
The company has therefore improved profitability over the last two financial years, although FY26 revenue growth did not translate into proportionate net profit growth.
What Drove Vaibhav Vyapaar's FY26 Revenue Growth?
The increase in revenue was primarily supported by platform-related income and other operating charges rather than a comparable increase in interest income.
The major changes were:
-
Platform fees: Increased from ₹9.89 crore in FY25 to ₹16.26 crore in FY26.
-
Foreclosure charges: Increased from ₹0.98 crore to ₹2.78 crore.
-
Platform commission: Rose from ₹2.43 crore to ₹3.00 crore.
-
Interest income: Increased from ₹10.12 crore to ₹10.95 crore.
The company attributed the increase in platform fees to higher business volumes and greater platform usage by co-lending partners.
Interest income grew more slowly than overall operating revenue, highlighting the importance of non-interest income to the company's earnings model.
Vaibhav Vyapaar Profit Margin and ROE
Although PAT increased in FY26, the company's PAT margin declined from 5.91% to 5.36%.
The difference between profit-before-tax growth and PAT growth was partly influenced by deferred tax accounting.
FY25 benefited from a deferred tax credit, whereas FY26 included a deferred tax expense of approximately ₹1.18 crore.
Return on equity improved from 5.59% to 6.99%, indicating higher profitability relative to shareholder equity. However, the absolute ROE remained below 7%.
For investors evaluating the IPO, earnings growth and the ability to improve returns on equity will be important, particularly because the fresh issue will increase the company's equity capital.
Loan-book growth, credit quality and access to funding are important indicators of an NBFC's financial position.
Vaibhav Vyapaar expanded its assets under management during FY26, but its balance-sheet exposure and borrowings also increased.
Vaibhav Vyapaar AUM and Loan Disbursements
Total AUM increased from ₹47.45 crore in FY25 to ₹70.68 crore in FY26.

₹209.19 crore |
| AUM Growth |
12.00% |
Total AUM grew by 48.95% in FY26, supported by strong expansion in the company's on-book lending portfolio.
The on-book share of AUM increased from 71.95% in FY25 to 87.36% in FY26.
This shift is important because on-book loans represent lending exposure retained on the company's own balance sheet.
A higher proportion of on-book lending increases the importance of borrower repayments, provisioning, borrowing costs and capital adequacy.
Vaibhav Vyapaar Gross NPA, Net NPA and Capital Adequacy
Asset quality indicators showed mixed movement in FY26.

Source: Vaibhav Vyapaar DRHP.
The gross NPA ratio improved from 5.25% to 4.71%, indicating a lower proportion of gross non-performing loans in the portfolio.
However, the net NPA ratio increased from 1.73% to 2.94%.
The divergence means the improvement in gross NPAs should not be considered in isolation. Net NPAs, provisioning and recoveries must also be assessed to understand underlying credit risk.
The company wrote off approximately ₹9.59 crore of irrecoverable debts in FY26, compared with ₹9.76 crore in FY25.
Given its focus on unsecured lending, credit write-offs remain a significant factor when evaluating profitability and loan-book quality.
Vaibhav Vyapaar Borrowings and Capital Position
Vaibhav Vyapaar's total borrowings increased from approximately ₹22.66 crore in FY25 to ₹46.80 crore in FY26.
Its debt-to-equity ratio consequently increased from 0.83 times to 1.60 times.
Meanwhile, the capital adequacy ratio declined from 39.69% to 28.57%.
Although the reported ratio remained above the applicable 15% regulatory minimum disclosed in the DRHP, the decline reflects greater capital utilisation as the loan portfolio expanded.
The IPO's proposed capital infusion is therefore relevant to the company's ability to support further lending growth.
Vaibhav Vyapaar Operating Cash Flow
The company recorded negative operating cash flow of approximately ₹18.44 crore in FY26, compared with positive operating cash flow of ₹0.31 crore in FY25.
Financing cash inflows were approximately ₹23.60 crore during FY26.
For an NBFC, negative operating cash flow can result from deploying funds into new loans. It does not necessarily carry the same implications as negative operating cash flow at a manufacturing or services business.
Nevertheless, investors should examine whether loan growth is supported by sustainable financing and timely borrower repayments.
The primary objective of the Vaibhav Vyapaar IPO is to strengthen the company's capital base and support its NBFC operations.
According to the DRHP, the company plans to allocate ₹32 crore towards augmenting its capital base.

Why Does Vaibhav Vyapaar Need Additional Capital?
Vaibhav Vyapaar's AUM grew by nearly 49% in FY26, while its capital adequacy ratio declined.
The proposed equity infusion is intended to help the company:
-
Expand lending operations.
-
Strengthen its regulatory capital position.
-
Support the growth of its on-book loan portfolio.
-
Reduce reliance on debt-funded expansion to the extent supported by fresh equity.
The DRHP states that proposed fund deployment is based on management estimates rather than an external project appraisal.
For investors, the important consideration will be how effectively the company converts this additional capital into sustainable lending income and profit.
Vaibhav Vyapaar's promoters identified in the DRHP are Capfront Technologies Private Limited and Itha Venkata Raghava Gowrinath.
Capfront Technologies held almost the entire pre-IPO equity capital, according to the company's July 2026 shareholding disclosure.

The estimated post-IPO promoter holding is based on the reported fresh issue of 77.96 lakh shares and assumes no other changes in the company's capital structure.
Since the IPO consists entirely of fresh shares, existing promoters are not selling shares through an offer for sale.
Instead, their ownership percentage will decline because of the issuance of new equity shares to public investors.
Valuation is an important consideration in the Vaibhav Vyapaar IPO review because the company is seeking a market valuation substantially higher than its FY26 annual profit.
At the upper price band of ₹52, the reported post-issue share capital implies an indicative market capitalisation of approximately ₹146.55 crore.

Calculated using reported IPO terms, pre-issue shareholding and FY26 restated profit. Figures are indicative and rounded.
At the upper price band, Vaibhav Vyapaar's IPO is valued at approximately 74.4 times FY26 earnings on a post-issue basis.
This calculation uses historical profit and the estimated number of shares outstanding after the IPO. It does not assume any future earnings contribution from the additional capital.
The company's DRHP reports FY26 EPS of ₹1.22. However, that figure is based on the applicable historical weighted-average share count.
Using the reported EPS alone to calculate the IPO P/E would not capture the dilution from the entire fresh issue.
What Does Vaibhav Vyapaar's IPO Valuation Mean?
An approximately 74-times historical earnings multiple makes future profitability particularly important.
The company reported strong AUM and revenue growth in FY26, but its PAT margin was 5.36% and ROE stood at 6.99%.
Investors therefore need to evaluate whether future earnings growth can support the proposed valuation.
The main considerations include:
-
AUM growth: Whether loan-book expansion can continue without increasing credit losses disproportionately.
-
Profitability: Whether higher lending volumes and platform income can improve PAT and margins.
-
Asset quality: Whether net NPAs and write-offs can be controlled.
-
Capital efficiency: Whether fresh equity can generate sufficient incremental returns.
-
Funding costs: Whether borrowing costs remain manageable as lending activity expands.
The fresh issue may initially dilute ROE until the company deploys the additional capital and generates corresponding earnings.
A final price-to-book valuation should also account for the company's updated equity capital, actual net IPO proceeds and any changes since the FY26 balance sheet.
Vaibhav Vyapaar's digital lending platform, revenue diversification and growing loan portfolio are among the key strengths highlighted by its operating performance.
1. Established Digital Lending Platform
LoanFront has recorded more than 114 lakh downloads and cumulative disbursements of approximately ₹1,500 crore as of June 2026.
Its technology-enabled lending model allows customer acquisition and loan servicing without a large traditional branch network.
2. Strong Loan Book Growth
Total AUM increased by 48.95% in FY26 to ₹70.68 crore.
Fresh loan disbursements also increased from ₹209.19 crore to ₹306.25 crore, indicating higher lending activity.
However, the quality and profitability of this growth remain important.
3. Multiple Revenue Sources
The company earns income from platform fees, interest, commissions, foreclosure charges and other operating services.
Platform fees accounted for 44.18% of FY26 operating revenue, indicating that the business is not solely dependent on direct lending interest.
4. Revenue from Repeat Customers
According to company disclosures, repeat customers contributed 75.40% of operating revenue in FY26.
This indicates meaningful revenue contribution from existing customers, potentially reducing dependence on new customer acquisition.
However, the figure represents revenue contribution and should not be interpreted as the percentage of customers who borrow repeatedly.
5. Fresh Capital for Business Expansion
The IPO contains no offer-for-sale component.
The planned ₹32 crore capital augmentation is intended to strengthen the company's financial position and support lending operations.
Despite its growth in FY26, Vaibhav Vyapaar faces several risks related to unsecured lending, asset quality, funding and business concentration.
These factors are particularly relevant when assessing its IPO valuation.
1. Unsecured Lending Exposure
Vaibhav Vyapaar primarily provides unsecured loans, meaning there is generally no asset-backed collateral available to recover the outstanding amount if a borrower defaults.
A deterioration in borrower repayment capacity could increase loan delinquencies, credit costs and write-offs.
2. Increase in Net NPAs
The company's net NPA ratio increased from 1.73% in FY25 to 2.94% in FY26.
Although gross NPAs improved, the higher net NPA ratio indicates the need to track provisioning, collections and recoveries closely.
3. Rising Borrowings and Leverage
Total borrowings increased from ₹22.66 crore to ₹46.80 crore in FY26.
The debt-to-equity ratio increased from 0.83 times to 1.60 times.
Higher funding costs or refinancing difficulties could affect lending margins and profitability.
4. Related-Party Transactions
The company's August 2026 DRHP addendum disclosed management fees of ₹5.34 crore paid to Capfront Technologies, its holding company, during FY26.
This represented approximately 14.51% of operating revenue.
The company also reported rent and other related-party transactions.
Such arrangements are not inherently improper, but their commercial terms, pricing and impact on profitability require scrutiny.
5. Geographic Concentration
Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra were among the company's largest geographic exposures.
Together, these states accounted for approximately 77% of total AUM at the end of FY26.
Concentrated economic or borrower-credit stress in these markets could affect repayment performance.
6. Regulatory and Digital Lending Compliance
Vaibhav Vyapaar operates under RBI's NBFC and digital lending regulatory framework.
Changes in digital lending regulations, customer disclosures, borrower protection, recovery practices, data privacy or permitted fees could affect its operations and revenue model.
7. Technology and Lending Partner Dependence
The company depends on LoanFront's technology infrastructure and relationships with external lending partners.
Cybersecurity incidents, system outages, data breaches or changes in partner arrangements could disrupt loan origination and servicing.
8. SME IPO Liquidity Risk
Vaibhav Vyapaar is proposed to list on NSE Emerge rather than the NSE mainboard.
SME-listed shares may experience limited trading liquidity, larger price fluctuations and minimum trading quantity restrictions.
These factors could make it difficult for investors to exit holdings at a desired price.
9. Contingent Liabilities and Legal Matters
The DRHP disclosed contingent liabilities of approximately ₹43.54 lakh as of March 2026, relating to first-loss default guarantee arrangements.
It also disclosed a direct-tax/TDS matter involving approximately ₹2.30 lakh.
These disclosures should be monitored, although the stated amounts do not, by themselves, establish a major ongoing regulatory proceeding.
After the IPO, Vaibhav Vyapaar's performance will depend on whether loan-book expansion translates into sustainable profitability without materially weakening asset quality.

A key development to track will be how effectively Vaibhav Vyapaar deploys the proposed ₹32 crore capital infusion.
Higher disbursements alone will not establish stronger business performance unless they are accompanied by manageable credit costs, adequate capital and improved earnings.

Vaibhav Vyapaar enters the IPO market after reporting 46.91% revenue growth and 48.95% AUM growth in FY26. Its LoanFront platform, growing lending operations and multiple revenue streams support its business expansion.
However, the company's financial performance also shows increasing borrowings, a higher net NPA ratio, significant credit write-offs and relatively modest profitability.
At an indicative valuation of approximately 74.4 times FY26 post-issue earnings, future earnings growth and capital efficiency will be important considerations.
The key factors for investors evaluating the Vaibhav Vyapaar IPO are the sustainability of platform income, asset quality, borrowing costs, effective utilisation of IPO proceeds and the company's ability to improve profitability as its loan portfolio expands.
