MUMBAI: Phonepe is gearing up for its stock market debut, enlisting J.P. Morgan, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Morgan Stanley, and Citi to oversee its IPO. The fintech firm, backed by Walmart, is eyeing a valuation of up to $15 billion as it plans to list on Indian stock exchanges.

Marking a decade in business, Phonepe has restructured its corporate framework, consolidating its various divisions into wholly owned subsidiaries. This strategic move, coupled with robust financial growth, positions the company favourably for public listing.

Phonepe has reported over 70 per cent revenue growth in the past fiscal year while narrowing net losses and achieving an adjusted post-tax profit. A sharp focus on automation, operational efficiency, and cost management has reinforced its financial stability.

With a strong user base and innovative digital solutions, Phonepe aims to sustain its strong position in India’s fintech space. As it advances towards the IPO, the company remains committed to scaling its business and driving long-term profitability in the evolving digital payments sector.
