Gurgaon-based mobile wallet firm MobiKwik expects to turn profitable by mid-2017 and plans to diversify revenue streams by offering financial products like loans and mutual funds, a senior executive said.
"We are looking at diversifying our revenue streams and our first goal is to be profitable on a monthly basis by middle of 2017," MobiKwik founder and chief executive Bipin Preet Singh told PTI.
The firm looks to expand its financial services offerings and has started entering into partnerships with banks and financial institutions for the same.
MobiKwik is partnering with non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) to offer micro-lending to its users, and is also looking at launching a mutual fund portfolio going forward, he added.
The company is also focussing on the offline category, and is looking to expand the merchants on board from 50,000 currently to nearly five million by next year, Singh said.
