Q&A highlights

4 direct
International Sales Performance and VC Segment Impact Direct
So International it's mainly some of the segments which are seeing most impact primarily you know your venture VC segment. So even if you look at the market activity that continues to be fairly sideways and one of the lowest in the last 10 years.

Clarifies that the VC segment's subdued market activity is the primary drag on international sales, providing context for overall growth.

Asked by Aryamaan Pawar

Replicating UK's Growth Playbook in the US Direct
So you basically, you know, did two things. One is augmented the sales and then you augmented also the data sets. It's on both the side, you saw sort of good updates being there. Like if you look at UK, we also augmented the data sets that is required by the by the customer segments, like you know, your financials, companies, etc, that we augmented. And the second thing is that we augmented the sales team.

Highlights the dual strategy of data augmentation and sales team expansion that led to UK turnaround, and confirms this is the plan for US expansion.

Asked by Aryamaan Pawar

Timeline for EBITDA to turn positive Partial
And, you know, once that happens within like a couple of quarters, I think the EBITDA should start, you know, looking positive and, you know, increase at a faster pace.

Analyst pressed for a specific timeline on EBITDA profitability, and management provided a qualitative estimate of 'a couple of quarters' linked to growth acceleration.

Asked by Praneeth Bommisetti

Bottoming out of International Business Degrowth Partial
Oh, hopefully, we have had, you know, say, like one or two annual cycles for most of the accounts, which, you know, which were probably impacted, you know, right. But, you know, I think we also have to sort of, you know, augment like the other segments, right, like, which are sort of working well in the other geos.

Analyst sought clarity on whether the international business degrowth has bottomed out, with management expressing hope and emphasizing augmentation of other segments.

Asked by Praneeth Bommisetti

High Employee Cost and its Impact on Profitability Direct
The second question is about 90% of the revenue being in the employee cost. So that's just a function of, that's our R&D essentially. So you have to basically invest in building the data, right? And over time, your revenue sort of grows. So just to give you an example, the gross margin that we operated is more than 90%, right?

Analyst challenged the high employee cost relative to revenue, which management clarified as R&D investment for building data and highlighted the high gross margin.

Asked by Anurag Arora

AI as a Double-Edged Sword for Data Production Direct
Right now that's not happening so much. You know, maybe over time that happens, but that also opens up a larger TAM for us. So right now, you know, it is still because you're working with enterprises and financial, you know, organizations, which are highly paid professions, there's still more demand for data and enterprise-grade data, you know, than so much over there in our existing segments.

Analyst questioned if AI could commoditize data and reduce pricing, but management sees it as an enabler that expands TAM and meets enterprise demand.

Asked by Praneeth Bommisetti

Contribution Timeline of Growth Initiatives Partial
So, you know, hopefully soon in a few quarters, but you know, again, we don't, we're not giving sort of guidance on that, but, you know, clearly like we also gave the plan of 2026 in that sense, right? To give you a sense of what to expect in this year, this calendar year.

Analyst sought a timeline for when growth initiatives would materially contribute to revenues, with management indicating 'a few quarters' and referencing the 2026 plan.

Detailed narrative

Q3 FY26 Financial Performance Overview

Tracxn Technologies reported revenue from operations of 21 crores for Q3 FY26 and 63.5 crores for the nine months ended December 31, 2025. Despite a negative EBITDA of 1.7 crores for the quarter, the company achieved a positive PAT of 0.1 crore for Q3 and 1.7 crores for the nine months. Adjusted PAT for the nine months, excluding non-cash ESOP expenses, stood at a positive 3.7 crores. Cash and cash equivalents were 90.2 crores, after accounting for buyback outgo in H1FY26.

Strong Volume Growth and Customer Acquisition

The company demonstrated robust volume growth, with active customer accounts reaching 2,246 by the end of nine months, marking a 32% increase year-on-year. The total number of users also grew significantly by 33% year-on-year, reaching 6,156. Net new account additions per quarter have consistently been high, with 103 net new accounts added in Q3 FY26, and over 1,000 users added in the first nine months of the current financial year.

Strategic Investments in Growth Initiatives

Tracxn is aggressively investing in various growth initiatives, primarily across GTM units (sales, sales support, marketing). These investments have led to a slight net increase in headcount on a QoQ basis, causing a temporary reduction in profitability. Management believes these investments will accelerate growth and lead to higher profitability in upcoming quarters, with a focus on scaling sales teams and augmenting data coverage in key geographies.

Data Augmentation and AI Leverage

A key focus has been expanding data sets, particularly private company financials, which increased over 10x in India and 4x in UK. The company now covers over 2.3 million companies with revenue data and 6.3 million with detailed financials. AI is being leveraged for data production, enabling faster data set additions (weeks instead of years) and optimizing headcount, with the data production team's headcount reduced by 20% in 2025 while coverage multiplied 4x.

Geographic Expansion and Playbook Replication

The India BU continued strong growth with 14% revenue increase and over 40% customer account growth in 9M FY26. The UK geo showed significant improvement, turning from a negative 3% revenue growth in FY25 to a positive 7% in 9M FY26, by replicating the India playbook of augmenting sales and data. The company plans to apply this successful playbook to the US market in the current calendar year, with initial work on data augmentation already underway.

Sales Team Scaling and International Partnerships

Tracxn plans to double its closing sales team from 34 to 60 by the end of calendar year 2026. This includes scaling the India BU sales team from 25 to 40 and the international BU sales team from less than 10 to about 25. A partnership with TMX Datalinx, the information services division of Canada's largest stock exchange, was established in Q3 FY26 to enhance customer acquisition in the enterprise space in North America.
