As per recent reports, Easebuzz, a payments solutions provider in Pune, is at an advanced stage of discussions with respect to a fresh funding round of approximately $30 million. This possible investment is at a time when the firm is experiencing a surge in its operational ratios. It aims to take advantage of its regulatory licenses to expand its operations. The negotiations, although a quarter old, suggest that investors are highly interested in profitable fintech patterns, which are deeply integrated into enterprise processes.
The valuation that is under discussion is one of the most remarkable things about this upcoming round. The sources that are close to the situation indicate that Easebuzz is targeting a post-fund valuation of more than $250 million. This would be a significant step forward in terms of its valuation relative to its prior round and would indicate the fast growth pace of the company as compared to the period of its Series A round earlier this year. It is not only its current supporters who are interested in the firm because several international funds have been cited to have been in discussions with the management team. Bessemer Venture Partners, which is are existing investor, should also contribute significantly to the round, which also confirms the long-term business strategy of the company.
These valuation discussions are strong with a foundation founded on the financial performance of Easebuzz. The company has recorded outstanding growth in the 2025 fiscal year by increasing its operating revenue by 2.3-fold. Contrary to other startups in the high-growth fintech industry, where scale comes first and profitability comes second, Easebuzz has continued its profitability record. According to the reports, the company will have a profit after tax of ₹19 crore in FY25, which illustrates its strict fiscal management and operating effectiveness. The volume of transactions within the platform has reached spectacular levels, with the Gross Transaction Value per year exceeding $50 billion.
Strategic deployment of this new capital is forecasted to exploit the presence of the company in small and medium businesses alongside the mid-market enterprises. Easebuzz has also recognized a massive opportunity in sector-specific payment and reconciliation stacks. Although traditional payment gateways typically offer generic solutions, Easebuzz has succeeded in attracting businesses by customizing its technology to meet industry-specific requirements in the education, real estate, and government sectors. The company has been able to create a base of loyal merchants of more than 2.5 lakh through operations by sealing the loopholes in reconciliation and financial transactions that were previously ignored by the traditional players.
Easebuzz has, since its launch in 2016, developed beyond being a mere payment gateway into a complete technology platform that handles well in excess of 3 million transactions each day. Its capacity to resolve complicated business issues in relation to payouts and financial functioning with plug-and-play APIs has distinguished it in a competitive market. Its leadership, led by Founder and CEO Rohit Prasad and Co-founder Amit Kumar, has focused on the high-value-low-cost approach, which focuses on product innovation and regulatory discipline. This philosophy has enabled the company to grow it to the multi-billion-dollar size it is today, as compared to the scale of processing of $300 million in annual GTV during its early years.
Clarity in the regulations has also been a key driver behind the expansion plans of the company. Recently, the Reserve Bank of India provided Easebuzz with the required approvals to provide a full package of payment services, such as online, offline, and cross-border services. This triple-factor of licenses enables the company to be a one-stop shop for businesses with various payment requirements. Having these approvals, the company will be well-placed to tap into the offline payments market with point-of-sale systems, QR-based soundboxes, in direct competition with the large industry incumbents, but keeping its special focus on vertical SaaS integration.
The next fundraise is also an anticipation of the long-term outlook of the company to go public. In the past funding dealings, the management team has mentioned that it was considering an initial public offering in the next two or three years. These plans are expected to be expedited with the infusion of $30 million, which will enable them to have the war chest to gain market share and be able to improve branding before they arrive in the public markets. Easebuzz is not only raising funds in the global cap table, but it is also gaining experience to go through the process of changing its niche into a publicly listed corporation.
The prospective $30 million investment at a valuation of $250 million will be the milestone of Easebuzz as it prepares to enter into its second stage of development. A well-established financial foundation, apparent regulatory direction, and an expert concentration on verticalized payment systems have made the company represent a stellar performance in the Indian digital economy. With it approaching the completion of this round, the fintech world will be keenly observing how Easebuzz can use this momentum to close the divide between its own success in the private circles and its eventual listing on the stock markets.
