BNPL startups are raising funding rounds to ramp up technology and drive adoption in India

The credit demand is growing at a rapid rate among consumers in India. The higher inflation and decline in disposable income are driving the credit demand. Consequently, to reach more consumers, BNPL firms are raising funding rounds from venture capital and private equity firms.

The capital round was led by Surge Ventures and included participation from other investors like Pravega Ventures.

Going forward, SalarySe is also aiming to launch a credit-on-UPI system for salaried employees.

Notably, the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), launched the credit line on UPI facility in 2023 in India.

In 2024, the publisher expects more venture capital and private equity funding to enter the BNPL sector in India. This will support innovation and a competitive landscape in the BNPL market over the next three to four years.

Fundiin, in November 2023, entered into a strategic partnership with Pharmacity in Vietnam.
