Zaggle’s promoters and promoter group have increased their stake in the fintech SaaS company by acquiring 25,000 shares from the open market.

“Avinash Ramesh Godkhindi (CEO and cofounder), promoter of Zaggle Prepaid Ocean Services Limited hereby submit the disclosure in respect of the purchase of 25,000 equity shares of Zaggle Prepaid Ocean Services Limited from the open market on February 13, 2025,” said Zaggle in an exchange filing on February 14.

The promoters and promoter group comprises Godkhindi, cofounder and executive chairman Raj Narayanam, and an entity called Quadigo Ventures LLP.

In an exchange filing, the company also informed the bourses that Quadigo Ventures LLP became part of the promoter group, effective February 4, 2025. This comes weeks after the fintech SaaS company appointed Narayanam as a designated partner, with a controlling interest of 98.05%, in Quadingo Ventures. 

Quadingo owns 3.92% of the total equity share capital in Zaggle, as per the company. 

As the share purchase was made through the open market, the company’s total equity share capital before and after the acquisition remains unchanged at 13.42 Cr equity shares of INR 1 each.

Founded in 2011 by Raj Narayanam, Zaggle currently provides expenses, payments, and corporate employee benefits solutions to enterprises. It offers a range of SaaS products, such as Zaggle Save for managing expenses and rewards, Zaggle Propel for employee rewards and incentives and Zaggle Zoyer for business spend management platform, among others.

This follows the company raising INR 594.84 Cr via a qualified institutional placement (QIP) by issuing 1.13 Cr shares to eligible buyers in December 2024. Company sources then informed Inc42 that the company was looking to make three more investments and acquisitions by March 2025 to expand its offerings.
