Naapbooks Ltd H1 FY26 – ₹972.65 Lakh Revenue, 150% YoY Growth, EPS ₹3.06: From “Just Another IT Company” to Gujarat’s Digital Notary Darling
1. At a Glance – Blink and You’ll Miss the Plot Twist
If you blinked in the last one year, Naapbooks Ltd quietly went from a sleepy small-cap IT name to a headline-hogging fintech–e-governance hybrid. Current market cap sits at about ₹149 crore with the stock hovering around ₹138, while the last reported half-year numbers dropped like a Bollywood interval twist: H1 FY26 revenue of ₹972.65 lakh with a casual 150% YoY jump, PAT of ₹329.20 lakh, and EPS of ₹3.06. Operating margins north of 50% are flexing harder than a gym influencer on leg day.
Debt? Almost negligible at ₹1.23 crore. ROCE? A respectable ~23.6%. Promoter holding? Around 53.4%, though with some dilution drama recently. Returns in the last year have been meh, but fundamentals have decided to show up dressed for a wedding, not a funeral. The company is also busy shaking hands with the Government of Gujarat to digitise notary services—because why just make apps when you can mess with bureaucracy itself?
So is this a boring IT services firm, or a small but ambitious digital governance enabler with fintech seasoning? Grab popcorn. This story has warrants, resignations, MoUs, and margins that scream, “Beta, hum serious ho gaye hain.”
2. Introduction – Small IT Company, Big सरकारी Dreams
Naapbooks was incorporated in 2017, which in startup years makes it neither a toddler nor a retired uncle. It sits in that awkward teenage phase where ambition is high, execution is improving, and valuation opinions are… emotional. Officially, it is a software development company. Unofficially, it’s trying to be everything your CA, banker, and government clerk never were—efficient and digital.
Certified with CMMI Level 3 and ISO 9001 & 27001, the company likes its processes documented and its data encrypted. Its playground includes fintech platforms, ERP systems, cloud consulting, blockchain applications, mobile and web apps, and even embedded systems. Basically, if it has code, Naapbooks wants to touch it.
But what really pushed it into investor WhatsApp groups was the e-Notary project with the Government of Gujarat. Digitising notary services in India is like trying to teach your local sarkari office how to use Google Drive—brave, risky, and potentially revolutionary. Add to that preferential allotments, share swaps, bonus shares, auditor resignations, and a chairman stepping down, and suddenly this “boring IT stock” feels like a daily soap with quarterly episodes.
The key question: is this growth sustainable, or just a lucky half-year spike helped by project recognition and accounting timing? And more importantly—can margins stay this fat in a services business? Hold that thought.
3. Business Model – WTF Do They Even Do?
Explaining Naapbooks’ business is like explaining a thali—you don’t focus on one sabzi; you admire the variety. The company offers end-to-end software services: design, development, maintenance, debugging, and consulting. Clients range from energy and engineering firms to BFSI, fintech players, legal platforms, and IT companies.
On the solutions side, Naapbooks operates across four main buckets. First, Business Applications—fintech apps, e-commerce platforms, compliance tech, and enterprise solutions. This is the bread-and-butter IT services space where everyone claims differentiation and fights on pricing, delivery, and timelines.
Second, Digitalisation Services—cloud solutions, legacy migration, digital workplaces, and dashboards. Think of companies still running Excel 2007 being gently (or forcefully) dragged into the cloud era.
Third, Web 3.0—blockchain apps, NFTs, augmented reality, and decentralised systems. Yes, the buzzwords are all here, but execution matters more than PowerPoint slides.
Fourth, Automation and AI/ML—manufacturing 4.0, connected systems, and process automation. This is where margins can expand if IP and reusable frameworks actually exist.
On top of services, Naapbooks also sells software products like VizMan (Visitor Management System), EZEO, e-Voting platforms, iPing (enterprise communication), eAuction, and ACT (Assign Collaborate Track). These products are crucial because products mean scalability, and scalability means you don’t have to keep hiring people just to grow revenue.
Now the fun question: how many of these products meaningfully contribute to revenue today? The dump doesn’t split product-wise revenue, so we stick to facts. But clearly, the government-facing digital notarisation project has become the poster child.
