JusPay receives backing from SoftBank with its announcement to reach a $1 billion valuation through a new $150 million funding round. The upcoming milestone puts JusPay on track to join the exclusive unicorn club as one of the first startups this year to achieve this prestigious categorization. According to industry experts, JusPay will continue its upward movement following its recent $150 million funding round because it plays an essential role within India's digital payment sector.
A Funding Surge Backed by Giants
JusPay’s funding round will include major investments from SoftBank and WestBridge according to sources which solidifies the investors' belief in JusPay’s future prospects. Following this funding round the company will have raised more than $237 million in total resources. SoftBank Vision Fund 2 spearheaded the $60 million funding from JusPay during the firm's 2021 Series C financing process.
Navigating Industry Shifts: The Payment Gateway Exodus
During a critical phase for JusPay funding the payment gateway landscape shows notable changes. Major payment gateway providers such as PhonePe and Razorpay along with Cashfree severed their connections with JusPay's payment platform as they pursued straight merchant integration. This strategic transformation gives companies stronger command over merchant connections with improved data management and compliance together creating efficient operational frameworks and expanded business capacity.
Strong Financial Performance
Since its establishment in 2012, JusPay evolved into India's primary payment orchestration software provider. The company designs strong solutions for multiple business types that improve payment operations while enhancing operational performance. Financial performance data demonstrates the company's strong operational stability and its ability to grow. JusPay's operating revenue for FY24 surged by 49% compared to FY23 reaching ₹319.32 crore from ₹213.39 crore. The company decreased losses by 10% between the periods.
A Vision for the Future
The unicorn entrance by JusPay predicts ongoing technological developments and business growth in its future. As the company progresses toward international market access through digital payments based on its payment aggregation function and payment orchestration capabilities it will penetrate new sectors. Through the backing of SoftBank and industry leaders, JusPay continues to expand its solution deployment capabilities to enable its evolution into a payment aggregator service for growing businesses and the digital simplification of transactions within rapidly digitizing economies.
Through its refined business growth approach JusPay enhances the entire fintech industry. The fintech powerhouse now functions as a payment aggregator to steer digital payment development in India and international markets.
