1. At a Glance

Subex is that friend who knows everyone in the party (75% of the world’s top 50 telcos) but still never manages to pay his own bill. The company has global reach, AI-driven platforms, and big telecom logos on its client list. Yet the stock has lost 57% in a year, ROE is -10%, and profits are MIA. Classic case of “all network, no net worth.”


2. Introduction

Once upon a time in 1992, Subex was India’s proud telecom software player, offering revenue assurance and fraud management long before “Jamtara” made fraud a Netflix genre. Fast forward three decades, Subex is still chasing the same demons—fraud, leakages, and revenue assurance—but with fancier jargon like “AI-powered HyperSense platform.”

The irony? Despite sitting in the cockpit of global telecom analytics, the company itself can’t assure revenues or prevent profit leakages. Subex’s quarterly income resembles call drops: sometimes connected, often cut off.


3. Business Model (WTF Do They Even Do?)

Subex helps telecom operators (CSPs) stop losing money from billing errors, fraud, or inefficient systems. Think of them as the police + accountant + AI bot for telcos.

Offerings:

  • Revenue Assurance & Fraud Management – Detect scams, billing errors.
  • HyperSense AI – Data analytics & decision-making.
  • Sectrio – Cybersecurity & IoT security.
  • IDcentral – Identity analytics, KYC, fraud risk.
  • Managed Services & Consulting – Handholding telcos through chaos.

Revenue Split (FY24):

  • Subcontracting services: 70%
  • Managed services: 11%
  • Support: 10%
  • Implementation/customization: 6%
  • Licence: 1%

In short, Subex is still mostly a “services” company, not a product powerhouse.
