Akshat Birla, Founder & CEO, BharatNXT, says, “We have hit hockey stick growth, crossed Rs. 1500+ Cr in GTV and expect to be doing Rs. 1000+ Cr per month by the end of FY 23”.
Ankur Mittal, Co-Founder and COO, Inflection Point Ventures, says, "Over the last decade, India has witnessed a significant rise in digital transactions across sectors. However, credit card usage has been low among Indian SMEs, with credit utilisation typically ranging around 15% to 20% of allocated limits. Entrepreneurs with good CIBIL scores who already have credit cards with pre-approved limits still don’t have easy access to formal credit to manage their working capital. This is where BharatNXT steps in and provides an avenue via their platform for these entrepreneurs to make business payments like GST, vendor payments, utility payments, rent, and much more. This provides these entrepreneurs with real-time and paperless access to precious credit at low costs, if timed well, while unlocking precious additional payment days based on their credit card cycles."
