Juspay swings to Rs 90 crore loss in FY26 on AI, global push
Payments technology firm Juspay reported a net loss of Rs 90 crore in the financial year 2025-26, compared with a net profit of Rs 62 crore in FY25, as it increased spending on international expansion and artificial intelligence. Revenue grew 30 per cent year-on-year to Rs 664 crore from Rs 514 crore, Business Standard and The Hindu Business Line both reported.
The SoftBank-backed, Bengaluru-based company said its core India payments business remained profitable in FY26. Adjusted EBITDA stood at Rs 33 crore, excluding non-cash ESOP costs. Juspay processes 400 million transactions daily and serves over 500 enterprises globally, including Amazon and Google, with annualised total payment volume exceeding $1 trillion.
Co-founder and COO Sheetal Lalwani said the investments build long-term capabilities. Juspay is present across Asia-Pacific, Europe, the US, Latin America and West Asia, and plans to continue investing in technology and talent.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets present near-identical factual coverage of Juspay's FY26 results, leading with the swing to a Rs 90 crore loss and 30 per cent revenue growth. The Hindu Business Line adds context with a three-year revenue comparison and an adjusted EBITDA figure, while Business Standard quotes Lalwani more directly on the trade-off between near-term financials and long-term capabilities. Neither outlet adopts a critical or promotional slant: each reports the company's own explanation that the loss reflects deliberate investment in AI and global expansion. The uniform coverage leaves no framing conflict to reconcile. The key open point is whether Juspay's international traction and AI offerings will return the company to profitability, as its core India business remains in the black.
The Hindu Business Line adds an adjusted EBITDA of Rs 33 crore and a three-year revenue growth trajectory.
