Risk factors

As stated in the offer document

  • History of Net Losses and Negative Cash Flows

    The company has incurred restated losses of ₹14,444.22 million, ₹12,032.05 million, ₹17,274.10 million, ₹19,961.71 million and ₹27,960.69 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and Fiscal Years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The company also experienced negative net cash flows used in operating activities of ₹1,172.71 million, ₹6,291.52 million and ₹7,682.50 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and in Fiscal Years 2024 and 2023, respectively.

  • Heavy Dependence on Consumer Payments Revenue

    The company's Consumer Payments offering accounted for 56.14%, 68.84%, 63.34%, 71.56% and 82.91% of revenue from operations for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and Fiscal Years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Any disruption in Consumer Payments offering could adversely affect the company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

  • Exposure to Payment Processing Charges

If the company cannot pass on these higher processing charges to merchants or consumers, margins and profitability may decrease significantly.

  • Dependence on PSP Banks

    The company participates in the UPI payment system through three sponsor PSP banks: Yes Bank Limited, Axis Bank Limited, and ICICI Bank Limited. Any change in commercial terms, disruption, failure, or operational breakdown within one or more of these payment networks could have an adverse effect on the company's business. The contracts allow either party to terminate with 90-180 days notice and require the company to provide uncapped indemnity to PSP banks.

  • UPI Volume Cap Restrictions

    NPCI has issued a Volume Cap Circular proposing a 30% cap on total UPI transaction volume that may be processed by any single TPAP, currently deferred until December 31, 2026. As of September 30, 2025, the company's UPI Volume market share was 46.85%. If the Volume Cap is enforced, it may impact the company's ability to onboard new UPI users, thereby adversely affecting business operations, financial performance, cash flows and overall growth trajectory.

  • High Concentration in Payment Services Revenue

    The company's total revenue from payment services was ₹34,058.60 million, ₹29,613.21 million, ₹64,979.39 million, ₹48,583.38 million and ₹28,459.65 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and Fiscal Years 2025, 2024 and 2023, representing 86.92%, 92.32%, 91.33%, 95.94% and 97.66% of revenue from operations respectively. Any downturn in customers' willingness to use payment services could have a material adverse impact on business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

  • Extensive Regulatory Compliance and Oversight

    The company's operations are subject to various legal and regulatory requirements, including oversight by major Indian financial regulators such as RBI, SEBI, and IRDAI. The company has received various regulatory observations and penalties, including a ₹2.10 million penalty from RBI in September 2025. Any changes in, or non-compliance with, applicable legal or regulatory requirements may adversely affect operations.

  • Cybersecurity and Data Protection Risks

    The company is subject to cybersecurity risks that could lead to disruptions of operations and additional costs.
