Tilak Venture

What Tilak Venture does

Tilak Ventures Limited (BSE: 503663) is an India-incorporated, publicly listed non-banking finance company (NBFC) headquartered in Andheri West, Mumbai. Originally incorporated in 1980 as Tilak Finance Limited, the entity has undergone multiple strategic pivots — including a brief transition into travel and tourism as 'Out Of City Travel Solutions Limited' (2011-2014) — before settling on its current identity as a multi-vertical 'ventures' company under the Tilak Ventures Limited name since October 2015. The company is led by Director & CEO Girraj Kishor Agarwal, a Chartered Accountant with stated expertise in taxation, corporate laws, and merchant banking, supported by a small management team of 1-10 employees, a CFO, and a Company Secretary & Compliance Officer.

The company operates across three integrated business lines: (i) financial services including loans and advances to individuals, firms, and body corporates, deposit-taking, factoring, and merchant banking activities such as inter-corporate deposits, bill discounting, project financing, and hire-purchase finance; (ii) investment activities spanning shares, stocks, bonds, land, buildings, and securities; and (iii) textile and fabric trading, including manufacturing, trading, supplying, importing, and exporting of fabrics, yarns, cloth, suiting and shirting, dress material, industrial fabrics, viscose filament yarn, synthetics, and cotton yarn. The corporate object is broad and horizontal, with no disclosed technology platform, proprietary systems, or AI/ML capabilities — operations run on traditional finance and trading workflows.

Tilak Ventures generates revenue primarily through interest income from lending activities, returns on investments in securities and real estate, and trading margins from its textile/fabric business. For FY March 2026 the company reported Rs 30.43 crore in full-year sales (up 43.67% YoY) and Rs 9.62 crore in net profit (up 53.43% YoY), with Q4 FY March 2026 sales of Rs 14.02 crore (up 120.09% YoY) and Q4 net profit of Rs 3.85 crore (up 151.63% YoY). The business is wholly domestic (India only), investor communications are conducted through BSE filings and a WordPress-hosted corporate website, and back-office investor servicing is outsourced to MUFG Intime India as Registrar and Transfer Agent.
