2.Introduction – From Forms to Fintech: How BLS Became the Internet Café King

BLS E-Services didn’t start in a WeWork with a cold brew in hand. Nope. It was born in the sweaty trenches of semi-urban India, where a biometric fingerprint and a laminated Aadhaar card meant more than a credit score.

Incorporated in2016, this company is thedigital wingmanof India’s e-governance dream. Think of it as the post office of the digital age — doing everything fromPAN cards to bill payments,banking to telemedicine, and evene-learningthrough its ownBLS Sewa app.

But what’s truly Indian about it? The company figured out that while your uncle in Delhi shops on Amazon, your cousin in Bijnor still needs help opening a bank account or paying an electricity bill. So, BLS E-Services built an army oflocal stores and correspondents, each acting as a financial superhero with a biometric machine and Wi-Fi dongle.

Theirtouchpoint networknow stretches across the heart of Bharat — 1.21 lakh strong. That’s more outlets than Starbucks and CCD combined (and yes, they actually make money per transaction).

TheFY24 revenuehit₹881 crore, growing a wild196% YoY, withPAT rising 27.9%. The company’s growth isn’t just numbers — it’s an entire Bharat digitization movement with a profitable P&L.

Who said fintech can’t be profitable?

Let’s break it down, auditor-style — but with humour.

a) Business Correspondent Model:You know those people sitting in small kiosks with biometric scanners, helping others withdraw money from SBI or HDFC? Yep, those are BLS’s people. The company acts as an officialBusiness Correspondentfor multiple banks — fromSBI and PNB to Axis and Kotak. Each touchpoint earns a fee per transaction, which adds up faster than your UPI notifications on salary day.

b) B2B2C Model (Business-to-Business-to-Customer):This one’s genius. BLS ties up withthird-party vendors— think PAN agents, IRCTC ticket counters, insurance partners, etc. These partners use the BLS digital network to serve customers, and in return, BLS takes its sweet commission. Basically, BLS earns even when others do the hard work.
