What the record says.
Kiaasa Retail reported FY26 revenue of 134.63 crore with EBITDA of 24 crore (17.8% margin), up from ~13-14% last year—a 450 bps expansion driven by improved sourcing efficiencies and bulk procurement. Net profit grew 24% YoY to 11.17 crore. Same-store sales accelerated to 12.89% from 7.1%, while the customer base expanded to over 5.5 lakh. The company operates 124 EBO stores across 70+ cities post-IPO listing in March 2026. Management targets 35% revenue CAGR through FY30 and 45% EBITDA CAGR, driven by store expansion to 250 by 2028, MBO/LFS counter additions (up to 1,000 counters by 2030), and online scaling from 1-2% to 10-12% contribution. Unit economics support expansion with ~24-25 lakh capex per store and favorable tier 2/3 dynamics. Key risks include execution risk on aggressive store rollout, limited online contribution currently, and basket size stagnation despite ASP increases.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Revenue growth target of 35% CAGR through FY30 driven by store expansion to 300 EBOs, 600-1,000 MBO/LFS counters, and online scaling.
- EBITDA CAGR target of 45% through FY30, implying significant margin expansion beyond current 17.8% through operational efficiencies and tier 2/3 city expansion.
- Plan to expand to 250 EBO stores by 2028 with 66 stores funded by 46 crore IPO proceeds over next two years; remaining expansion self-funded.
- Targeting 600-1,000 multi-brand and large format store counters by 2030, including 150 Reliance counters already under discussion.
Risks flagged
- Despite omni-channel model, online contribution remains negligible at 1-2%. An analyst directly questioned this gap—ASP increased but average bill value stayed flat, indicating upsell/conversion issues that management attributed to store-level execution.
- MBO/LFS counters carry 28-32% margin for retailers, which management explicitly acknowledged will not improve bottom line—the objective is brand awareness and funnel conversion to own EBOs. This may disappoint pure-play margin investors.
- FY26 revenue grew only 11.2% versus 35% CAGR target through FY30. An analyst (Rahul S.) questioned this gap in Q&A. Management attributed it to store addition timeline and MBO/LFS scaling, but execution remains unproven.
- Current average store size is 700-1,000 sq ft; new stores planned at 1,200-1,500 sq ft to accommodate Kiasa Divas and DIY studios. Unit economics for larger format remain unproven in tier 2/3 cities.
Key quotes
- We are trying to provide customer a better service by providing them with ready-to-stitch garments and that can be used again for customer engagement, gifting options. We want Kiasa primarily as a service-oriented brand rather than a product-oriented brand in the longer run.
- When I'm talking about FY30 I'm talking about next 5-year plan and in 5-year plan beside 250 stores target for 2028, another 100 stores will be added. Plus we are aggressively moving on MBO and LFS where we'll be adding around 600 to 1,000 counters in different LFS.
- The advantage of this omni-channel model is first we are selling fresh item in our store—not season 2 or season 3 goods at a discount online. The customers in deep inside Bihar can order from Delhi stores and get real garments with new designs.
