Easebuzz is negotiating to finance Rs 300 crore, and its valuation could surpass Rs 2,000 crore

Easebuzz, a Pune-based digital payments processor, is looking to raise ₹200–300 crore in a new funding round, which could push its valuation to over $250 million (around ₹2,300 crore), according to people familiar with the discussions. The company is currently in talks with potential investors and is seeking a lead investor to anchor the round.

The proposed deal is expected to include both primary and secondary components. In a secondary transaction, the funds go to existing shareholders selling their stakes rather than directly to the company. Existing investors such as Bessemer Venture Partners and 8i Ventures are also expected to participate in the round.

Responding to queries, Easebuzz managing director Rohit Prasad said the company is already well capitalised and profitable, noting that it had recently raised ₹240 crore. That funding round, completed in April 2025, was led by Bessemer Venture Partners.

Meanwhile, early investor Guild Fintech has exited the company through a secondary transaction. Guild Fintech had previously invested in Easebuzz’s $4 million seed round in 2021. Prasad confirmed that the secondary deal was completed at a valuation of $250 million or higher.

Easebuzz competes with major payment platforms such as Razorpay, PayU, and Paytm. The company focuses on building payment processing solutions integrated with software platforms for industries such as education, real estate, government services and insurance. Payments are offered as part of a broader software-as-a-service (SaaS) stack.

In FY25, Easebuzz reported ₹650 crore in revenue and ₹18 crore in net profit. Like most payment processors, a large portion of the gross revenue is passed on to banks as processing charges.

The company is also preparing for a public listing within the next two to three years. In a board resolution passed in December last year, Easebuzz approved plans for an IPO targeting a minimum market capitalisation of ₹6,000 crore and aiming to raise around ₹1,000 crore through the listing.

Prasad said the company’s strategy of building SaaS platforms on top of payment infrastructure differentiates it in the market. However, he added that it is too early to comment on the eventual IPO valuation.

In November last year, Easebuzz received final regulatory approval to operate as a payment aggregator for online, offline and cross-border payments. The company currently processes an annualised gross transaction value of about $50 billion and handles around three million transactions daily.
