The company has raised $550 million from General Atlantic, $100 million from Tiger Global Management, Ribbit Capital and TVS Capital, and $200 million from its largest shareholder--Walmart.
“The investment reaffirms General Atlantic’s conviction in PhonePe’s business and growth potential,” the firm said in a statement. Other investors like Tiger Global, TVS Capital Funds and Ribbit Capital have also backed the startup’s ongoing funding round which was launched in January.
Earlier in a statement, PhonePe mentioned that the funds will be used to scale up its payments and insurance businesses in India.
