Pune-based digital payment processor Easebuzz is in discussions to raise Rs 200-300 crore in a new funding round, which could value the company at over $250 million. The round would include both primary and secondary components, with early investor Guild Fintech having already exited via a secondary sale.
The profitable company, which builds integrated payment and software solutions for specific sectors, reported FY25 revenue of Rs 650 crore and a net profit of Rs 18 crore. It has also secured final approval to operate as a full payment aggregator.
Additionally, Easebuzz has approved a plan for an initial public offering (IPO) within the next two to three years, targeting a minimum market capitalisation of Rs 6,000 crore.

Pune-based digital payment processor Easebuzz is looking to raise Rs 200 to 300 crore in a fresh funding round, which could propel the firmâs valuation to more than $250 million, according to three people in the know.
Easebuzz is still in the middle of discussions and is in conversations to get a lead investor who can be part of the round, the people said. The deal would be a mix of primary and secondary components, they added.
In case of a secondary infusion, the funds do not go to the company but to the investors who are selling their shares.
Existing investors Bessemer Venture Partners and 8i Ventures are set to participate in this round as well, one of the people quoted in the story said.
Responding to ETâs queries, Easebuzz managing director Rohit Prasad said: âWe are well capitalised and profitable⦠we recently raised Rs 240 crore hence we are not in an immediate requirement to raise fundsâ.
In April 2025, Bessemer led the Rs 240 crore infusion into the company.
One of Easebuzzâs very early investors Guild Fintech has made an exit from the companyâs capitalisation table as part of a secondary transaction. According to details sourced via Tracxn, Guild Fintech had participated in a $4 million seed funding round in the company in 2021.
Prasad confirmed this development and said the secondary deal was closed at $250 million valuation or higher.
Competing with the likes of Razorpay, PayU and Paytm, Easebuzz has built a profitable revenue-generating payment processing business with a focus on certain industrial segments.
Easebuzz builds software platforms for companies operating in the education, real estate, government services and insurance sectors. Payments is offered as an integral solution on top of the software solution.
The company closed FY25 with revenue of Rs 650 crore and a net profit of Rs 18 crore. Out of the gross revenue, a payment processor passes on a significant portion to banks as processing charges.
Additionally, the company has also devised a plan to go public within the next two to three years. In a board resolution passed in December last year, Easebuzz approved a plan to go public with a minimum market capitalisation of Rs 6,000 crore and raise Rs 1,000 crore through the listing process.
Commenting on the IPO plans, Prasad said: âWe build software-as-a-service on top of payments, which is unique in terms of offering, and if everything goes well, we will plan to go public. However, it would be too early to give an input on marketcap, etcâ.
In an interaction in April last year, Prasad had said that he wants to take the company public in the next two to three years.
In November last year, Easebuzz secured the final approval to operate as a payment aggregator for offline, online and cross-border payment services. The company had announced then that it was processing annualised gross transaction value of $50 billion and settling three million transactions per day.
