Pallav Kumar Singh, Managing Partner at SphitiCap said, “Financial inclusion is a key concern in India, given the changing global economic and political dynamics. Even though as a nation we are currently shielded from fiscal undercurrents; a large chunk of our population resides in rural cities that still are in a dire need of access to credible financial institutions and advisory. Fortunately, we are blessed with a robust start-up ecosystem driven by innovators who are focused on solving real problems and creating real impact. Adding a fintech giant like PayVeda, which has been at the forefront of solving these challenges on-ground, to our portfolio is absolutely thrilling. We are confident that our investment in the company will give impetus to its expansion and acquisition strategy while strengthening its IPO roadmap. We look forward to seeing the impact of our investment in the years to come.”

Additionally, the business has recorded a gross transaction volume of 7000 crores from more than 5 crore monthly transactions, with a goal of 30 lakh crores over the following four years. PayVEDA is an innovation-focused company that adheres to SphitiCap’s core values of sustainability, growth, and impact.
