The Domestic Retreat: Indian AIFs cumulatively slashed their shareholding in the company by 50% to 5.61 Lakh shares at the end of March 2026. This came as two of the five local AIFs, many of which entered during the IPO’s anchor round, exited over the past three months. The selloff could likely be linked to these early backers locking in gains (the stock is up 14% in the past month despite heavy volatility).

FPIs Step In: Foreign portfolio investors, meanwhile, signalled renewed conviction. Global funds boosted their collective stake in the fintech company by 33% to 33.42 Lakh shares at the end of Q4 FY26. FPIs seem to have either maintained or expanded their positions, seemingly betting on the company’s ability to scale its bottom line.

Retail Stays Strong: Retail investors still form the biggest block on the cap table, holding about 36% of the company, though they also pared some exposure (3.31 Lakh shares or 1.34% decline) during the quarter. Promoter holding remained stable at 24.63%, while corporate bodies such as Bajaj Finance, Times Internet and SI Investments also kept their positions intact. Profit Changes The Lens: The ownership reshuffle comes after MobiKwik turned profitable in Q3 FY26, posting a consolidated net profit of ₹4 Cr, while revenue rose 7.2% YoY to ₹288.9 Cr.

The company also received BSE approval in February to begin stock broking through its subsidiary, adding another growth lever just as investors reassess its trajectory. So, while domestic investors line up for its new-age tech peers like Zomato and Paytm, why are foreign funds forming a beeline for MobiKwik?
