MobiKwik to raise $150 million in funds to compete against Paytm
Ever since Demonetization, digital payment startups have seen a huge growth with Paytm recently raising $1.4 billion from SoftBank. The next in line to become a fintech unicorn company seems to be MobiKwik.
Co founder of MobiKwik Upasana Tapu in an interview with TechCrunch confirmed they were looking at raising $150 million from various investors in the next couple of months. With Paytm concentrating on its recently launched Paytm Banks and Paytm Mall, Taku is confident that they can even the playing field. This latest investment round will raise the valuation of MobiKwiki to $1 billion making them the second fintech company in India to join the list of unicorn companies.
Mobikwik was founded in the year 2009 and till date have managed to raise $126.85 million in 6 investment rounds. Speaking to Reuter’s co founder and Chief Executive Bipin Preet Singh said they expect MobiKwik to break even by mid 2018.
PM Narendra Modi’s decision to ban all Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes came as a boon to all digital payment platforms. According to Upasana Taku, their registered user base increased from 25 million to 55 million and their merchant bank increased to 1.5 million.
Neither Upasana Taku nor Bipin Singh were ready to reveal the names of their potential investors saying they included one major strategic investor and various other financial institutions. They did reveal that the capital from this investment will be used to grow user and merchant base and expand their current number of offices to more than 20.
Bangalore’s Yali Capital has closed its first deeptech-focused fund, raising a substantial ₹893 crore (about $104 million) and surpassing its initial ₹500 crore target. This major fundraising milestone highlights the growing appeal and investor confidence in India’s deeptech landscape, fueling innovation in pivotal sectors like semiconductors, artificial intelligence, robotics, aerospace, genomics, and smart manufacturing. The fund cements Yali Capital’s position as a key player driving progress in India’s burgeoning tech ecosystem.
Strategically, Yali Capital’s fund targets both early-stage (Seed, Series A) and later-stage (Series D and beyond) startups. Its diverse roster of Limited Partners (LPs) includes prominent corporations such as Infosys, Qualcomm Ventures, and Tata AIG, alongside government-backed organizations like the DPIIT Fund of Funds for Startups and the Self-Reliant India Fund. With heavyweight backers like Kris Gopalakrishnan (Infosys co-founder), Gopal Srinivasan (TVS Capital), and Utpal Sheth (RARE Enterprises), Yali Capital ensures robust strategic support. The firm’s dual structure—a SEBI-registered Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) and a GIFT City-based feeder vehicle—enables global investor participation, guided by tech luminary Lip-Bu Tan and managing partner Ganapathy Subramaniam.
Already, Yali Capital has invested in five breakthrough startups, including C2I Semiconductor, 4baseCare, and Perceptyne, focusing on chip design and AI. By devoting two-thirds of its fund to early-stage companies, Yali Capital underscores its commitment to nurturing next-generation Indian deeptech founders. This fundraising success aligns with a nationwide trend of surging investments in advanced technology and positions Yali Capital at the forefront of India’s drive toward self-reliance and global tech leadership.

Reliance Jio Platforms, the digital and telecom powerhouse led by Mukesh Ambani, has decided to postpone its highly anticipated initial public offering (IPO), shelving plans for a 2025 listing. The IPO, which analysts valued at over $100 billion and expected to be India’s largest-ever stock market debut, will not take place this year. The company has yet to appoint bankers for the process, signaling that preparations for the public offering have not started in earnest.
According to sources close to the matter, Jio Platforms wants to give its business more time to grow before going public. The company is focusing on boosting revenues, expanding its telecom subscriber base, and scaling up its digital services—including apps, connected devices, and AI solutions—so it can achieve a higher valuation when the IPO eventually happens. Nearly 80% of Jio Platforms’ $17.6 billion annual revenue currently comes from its telecom business, Reliance Jio Infocomm, but the company is investing heavily in new digital ventures and partnerships, such as its collaboration with Nvidia on AI infrastructure.
The news of the delay impacted the market, with shares of parent company Reliance Industries falling by up to 1.8% following the announcement. Despite a strong IPO environment in India, Jio’s move is seen as a strategic decision to ensure stronger business fundamentals and a higher valuation before entering the public markets. Major investors, including Google and Meta, are said to support the decision, viewing it as a step toward long-term value creation.
